What to do with my honda civic? Sell it or repair and keep it?
I have a 2000 Honda civic with 180 000m on it and it hasbeen in the garage essentially since January (6 months). I usually use my parents second car. The car will not be really used by me for another year. As it as been in the garage for a while it needs an oxygen sensor replacement, and seems like the batter is dead ( car won't start without jumper cables). I assume the brakes are rusty as well. How much do you think it will cost to get this back in running shape?
Is it better to just keep the car until I need it in a year or use it in a trade in. Or do i try to sell it as is and take much less money for it.
Added (1). *180 000km
It will cost at least $500 or more to fix
Fix it sell for What you can with that many miles you going to keep having problems get rid of it!
Why don't you take ti to a shop that will quote you on what it needs so you actually know for sure what is needed. Right now it is just a guessing game.
you don't necessarily need a o2 sensor unless something happened to make it go bad or it was bad before. Normally running some cleaner and new fuel for a while will clean off the old crud off the sensor and your good to go.
- I sell cars for 1800$ or less but the taxes are almost here could I sell this car for 3000$? It's a 2004 Suzuki Verona 159,000 miles Automatic It's in exelent condition no problems But do you think I'll get 3000$ for it? Most people usually want a honda or Toyota
- I have a Honda 1.4 sport 1999 reg and the revs keep going high but there's little power - any ideas? When i first start it its ok but after 15-20 minutes it starts to over rev and the power seems to drop. Any ideas on what could be causing it?
- I have a 2006 Honda Metropolitan, WHen cold it starts up but i have to keep revving it to keep it going? I have already replaced the battery, air filter, spark plug, did an oil change, got new gas, cleaned out the carb. Once it is warm i have no issues with it. It usually takes about 3 to 4 min of driving it to get it warm but once warm everything is fine with stopping and going.
- 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.
