Found a car at a used car dealer for 5,995. 2009 Honda civic lx sedan automatic with 119,545 miles. I would find a car owned privatly but its so hard to find any Honda or Toyota and well me and my mother desperately need a car atm. Is there any known big problems with this year of civic with the millage and about how long it would go for till it has serious issues.
I would get it checked out by a mechanic and if it is ok, go for it. There weren't any really bad issues with that year and if you maintain it it can go a LONG time.
If it was kept up well, I think it is a decent deal. Civics are pretty damn good for longevity, assuming you do basic maintenance.
2009 was a "fair" year for Civic reliability, most reported failures were body issues and brakes. See following Link:

How did 2009 stack up against other years ? Looks like 2014 was the best ?
