Is this car worth buying? - 1
Added (1). its a 98 honda civic. What's wrong with it? "Left lower control arm, idle control sensor" and it needs a new battery but i can find a cheap one of those. 1, are these car parts hard to find(junkyard, etc) 2 IF these things were not fixed would it mean the car will be not good to drive cross country? I have a mechanic who can put the parts in for me for free if i can find them, i just need to know how common the parts are to find and how critical these things are for the car
What car?
Get the mechanic to go with you before buying the car. Not after
You forgot to mention the price. You MUST have a good mechanic check it out before you buy it. I'll bet you my right arm that's not all that's wrong with it.
SURE… YES… The Civic is a good car… All the parts you need for the Civic are in the local auto supply store --- most are NEW and some could be reconditioned and either new or recon is better than junk of the yard parts that are worn out == why else would they be in the yards of junk… Your mechanic can help you get new local auto supply discount… You will need to have an alignment after the install of the control arm… Good car, enjoy
- Is it worth buying an older car with original miles? I'm looking at this 98 Honda Prelude Sh that has 20k original miles. They're asking 14 grand for this car which normally would turn me away. But I see similar preludes around my area that sell for about 5-6 grand with "reasonable" miles. (140k-170k). Now I'm having second thoughts, any suggestions? No doubt I'm in love with this prelude, but 14 grand is gut wrenching.
- Is buying a used Toyota, Honda or Mazda car over 100,500 mileage worth it? Or is it too risky? I don't want to buy a car that will die as soon as I get it. I want it too last a while.
- Is a $20,000 Honda S2000 07 worth buying? This man I know is selling his Honda s2000 year 2007 for 20 grand. Is it worth buying? Everything's in good condition
- Is it worth buying a used Chevy Volt with over 100K miles on it? The price is right, but is it worth it? I know I would have to install a power charging station which is an additional 1000 dollars. There's one for sale at 14,500 dollars… But most used Volts are around 23,000 dollars. My other two considerations are a new 2015 Honda Fit or a used Mark 6 VW Golf TDI I've seen people on youtube who average 120 mpg with the volt! One guy's was even 1000 mpg, I don't think he even brought it to the gas station since he bought the car!
