My 2002 Honda civic has 126,000 miles on the original oem struts. Those are $170 each at the dealer so $350 for 2 oem front struts & that does not even include the $500 of labor. An independent mechanic will do the labor for $180 with free alignment so if I buy cheap struts I would pay $280 total. Your thoughts?
I drive the car 5,000 miles a year.
Located in Ontario, by the way.
I bought a 2001 Honda Civic about a year ago, i had a new motor, new starter, new alternator, and new battery all put in the car and put some rims that I 3 grand when I bought them on it. It had NO signs of problems after all the work. About 4 months later in the summer my cousin offered to sell me his Mustang so I wanted to sell the Civic. A guy about 18 years old looked at it by himself, then the next day looked at it with his dad, I even let his dad test drive it and they were excited and loved it. I sold it for $2500 (cheaper than my original asking price because the body isn't perfect).
Two weeks later I get a text that the car overheated and he was stranded because he drove the car all the way across the border to the States! It's been a couple months now and he's taking me to small claims. The bill of sale says as is, and we both signed it, both have a copy.
The car showed no signs of problems with me and I don't know if he had the car inspected before driving it to the States.
What should be my course of action? The car was great when it was in my possession
I'm 17 and 2 years ago my parents bought me a custom honda civic coupe for my 16th birthday. I really do like the car but, i'm honestly getting a little tired of the coupe body style and the pickup on the civic is not that fantastic. I have been talking to them about the possibility of trading it in for MBZ c250, i drove my friend's the other day and i seemed to like it a lot the pickup and just the all over luxury feel to it. My parent's have already checked with the insurance company and have that straightened out and they're letting me decide. Should i go for it, or should i keep the civic? Also if i do get the MBZ should i get black or white? Let me tell you I'm an extremely responsible driver, haven't been pulled over once or gotten in any sort of accident or done any damage to my car, i'm also employed and plan to pay some on the car as well
I'm a huge car lover, specifically JDM car. In Canada you are allowed to import a car that's made before 2000. Anyways I'm turning 16 soon and was wondering if a SR20DE S15 would be a good first car. This is the non turbo engine with 160 HP. I was deciding between this and a Civic Type R but the type r is much faster. I would also like to note that I can't get a beater as a first car because I won't care about it which means I'll probably do pulls and stuff all the time, whereas with a S15 I'll drive like an old lady because I don't wanna crash it. Any opinions? Also thinking of a Toyota Altezza 1999, a Civic SI, or a Honda Integra. All JDM cars.
It's cold out and my car won't start at all it won't even make noise when I turn the key I don't know how to jump start and there's not even any other car to jump start it with is there any other way to start with out jump starting it? I can't even get the hood open I don't know how it's a Honda 2012 civic please help I don't think it has one of those block heaters either
Does anybody know radio code for 2006 honda civic got a new battery?
I took my car to Mieneke (NEVER AGIN) to get the ac charged. He said that I would need a new ac control and I would have to order the part from Honda. Ok cool. An hour and a half later I'm still waiting on them to pull my car around to the front and they finally decide to tell me that they can't get the code for the anti theft system to go off. They said that it was nothing that they did and I would have to pay the lock smith to come fix it in the morning and that I needed to call a ride to get home. Now I'm no mechanic but I do know that when you remove the battery and unplug fuses that can cause the anti theft system to think someone I trying to steal the car. Am I right o wrong? How do I get this fixed? I'm not paying for a locksmith to fix something I didn't break.
2002 Honda civic lx 126,000 miles.
Also I have shocks in the back tires. Is it best to replace the front struts & back shocks at the same time? Or is it ok to just do the front if the back is ok?
Either way is alignment vital or Not necessary?
It cranks but it won't start and I'm getting low spark. Any body please help.
I want to import a civic type r here to the us. I know it'll cost 3 grand. Idc. Would it be street legal here if I leave it stock?
