Get a string and find out lol... Or just order 50 feet and sell the extra when your done?

depends, there is a bit of difference in the length of wire needed for a smart car compared to a Fleetwood.

If it's not a common car, you have to find out yourself

even if it is a common car, you saying you know how much they need? how many feet does a Nissan Rogue need? what about a 94 Honda Accord? the OP and all these other noobs need to learn how to figure things out instead of having everything handed to them. too many ppl on this forum ask questions that have been asked millions of times over but yet they start a thread asking about their specific car or brand like the process changes.

I can tell you that a BMW e46 uses 25 feet

I can tell you that a chrysler cirrus and a dodge stratus or plymouth breeze all use 20 feet and it's basically a big 4

Go play with yourself, do you not know how much you used to your car? what's the chances of someone here having a civic will read this and know?

After overlooking this guys post history he has a 1999 Chrysler Concorde.

Those **** because the battery is in the fender on the drivers side. I believe you have to take the wheel off to get to it.

I would suggest to get some string and figure out how much wire you need.

If you dont want to measure just order like 50ft of wire just use what you need. Then sell the rest here.

Good luck!

Sorry it was late when I posted this, it's for my Durango. I don't really care what brand or model it is an SUV is an SUV. There are numerous installers on this forum who wire cars upon cars everyday. I know what a **** tape measure is.

I have ran 4 power wires in my life and none 1/0 so I figured I'd ask thousands of people with more experience than I on how much wire I'd need.

And no, you do not have to take the wheel off to access the battery on a Concorde. On mine I just removed the air box every time. If anyone needs any parts for one mines gold, it's a 99 and has a blown engine.
