Should I buy this honda civic?

I'm looking at this honda civic it does not crank as the owner says it ran before and he has no idea what is wrong with it. Now I'm a backyard mechanic but I don't deal with Hondas very often but I know there reliable cars. It has the 4cyl 98k miles. It's a 1996. 400$ what do you think?

$400 is fine… Honda is very easy to fix.

Well since you will have very little in it, it may be a good one mileage is certainly low enough.A plus for you if you get it going.

Offer $200 - scrap value. At least you won't lose money if the thing is shot.

  • I have a 1998 Honda CRV with 240 K miles. Needs $1200 of repair to pass inspection. Should i fix or buy a newer used Honda civic? Mike? I'm the original owner and have done a good job with oil changes etc. However, it needs 2 front control arms with ball joints and rear struts to pass inspection. I've also gone past my mileage on a second timing belt (first one done at 90K miles). Car body exterior and interior is in pretty good shape. Inside looks brand new. But repair cost at 1200 + timing belt ~500 =~1700 in repars. Is it time for a newer used auto.

  • Should i buy this 2006 Honda civic Si? It is blue, with 123,000 miles. Exterior is in good co edition, front bumper is missing a little paint I'm guessing from rocks Inside the shift knob is pretty scratched up. Haven't gone to see it yet, but if all goes well and it shifts good and doesn't need anything done to it… Should I give him his asking price? He wants $7500 I need something reliable and good on gas to drive to school.
