I have the opportunity to buy a 2012 Honda Civic LX for $12,000. It has 15k miles. Was owned by an old woman that drove it to Walgreens and back a few times a week. It's in as clean of shape as a car that age can get. I had my 2012 Kia Forte with the bad rod bearing blow up and I need cheap reliable transportation. By today's standards $13 qualifies as cheap but what do you think of the car?
It sounds overpriced for a 10-year-old car but the market is so crazy maybe that's normal now. Other than that if a mechanic says it's OK you'll be a lot better off with it than you were with that Kia. (Bear in mind that if a car is not used very much, or only used for short trips where the engine doesn't even warm up fully, that can be more damaging than high mileage.)
If it's at a dealer though I would not believe a thing they tell you about the car.
At 10 years old with low mileage, it's probably far better than most of the new junk they are selling today. But get that price down, too much.
The price is high but that's how car prices are right now. If you can get them to lower the price then great, but don't expect it to be a lot lower than this given the current situation. But if the mileage is true, a mechanic says the car is all good then in general a civic is much better than the Kia.
I agree the price is to much , but if the car checks out it and you are willing to pay that it could be a great vehicle.
Yeah, it is higher than I would like but you can't find a Civic or Corolla with under 60k withing 2 hrs of me for under $16k right now. Used car prices are crazy right.now.
Was not planning to buy a new car right now as before the Kia threw a rod it had zero known issues. Hasn't had to pay for any repairs since we bought it with 10k miles and all the maintenance was done by the book. But apparently these Fortes are known for this.
