Thinking of getting a Civic EX: Pics

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

So I'm thinking of getting another Civic to replace my rusty ol' 92' LX, with 220k. Looking to spend around $10,500. Looking for a 5spd, w/sunroof, 2003+

Heres what I've been able to find so far. What ya think?

Mileage is a little high (82k) , but ****, I bought my 92' for $5k 5 years back and it already had 127,000 miles on it.

priviate party value:

Excellent $10,750

Good $9,925

Fair $8,810

With good tires, my 92 was unstopable in the snow. My house is on a hill, and I spent many a night hammer'in that thing up 50 yards of snow and ice. Bad tires though = worthless.

I'm thinking of getting one as well...I have a 93 accord ex right now...do you think it will be to small coming from an accord?

Depends on what you use it for. My main thing is gas mielage, and daily-driving reliabilty to and from work/school. Also want somthing that is fairly sporty and has good options. Accords are really nice as well, just not quite (but close) as good milelage, and a little more expensive. I do know the new 240hp Accords w/5spds are fast as hell. 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds. If I had a baby to lug around, I would prolly go with the Accord. You are going to get more interior/trunk space with Accords, thats a given, but I will say my 6'0 240lb dad can fit in the backseat of a newer civic with no problem.

I really wanted a Tacoma a couple months back, but their high prices and gas consumption made me start to re-evaluate my search and tailor more to my needs.

i drive a 03 civic ex. definately not the car if your looking to mod to make it go but other than that, its a perfect commuter and gas saver with potential.

if i could ditch my civic for an se-r spec-v, i sure would. nice car
