Hi,

I am interested in buying a 2012 Honda Civic. I zeroed down on two cars. Both cost the same.

The first one is an EX-L model from Carvana with 96,500 miles and has had 3 owners in the past. It's VIN is 19XFB2F98CE038481. It has had 9 service records in the past.

The second one is an LX model from CarMax which has 87,000 miles on it and has had only one owner in the past. It's VIN is 19XFB2F58CE359966. It's additional history section on the Experian Autocheck report says Lien reported.

Kindly advise me which one should I buy? The EX-L model has more features and electronics, and leather seats but has had 3 owners. The LX model has less electronics etc thus less repair and complexity I am guessing from watching Scotty's videos. I don't know much about cars thus kindly advise me on this at the earliest.

Thank you. And thank you Scotty! I love your videos and appreciate the knowledge you are putting out.

Both of those joints are terrible places to buy a car. They want top dollar and lots of people get rid of bad cars there. It's also not unusual for them to mess up paperwork for the title leaving you holding the bag.

Do yourself a favor and do an internet search on terms like "Carvana horror story" and "Carmax horror story". (Carvana does seem to be the worse of the two.)

 

Thank you so much, Chuck!

Buy the LX especially because it only has one owner the other had a bunch of owners could easily have had problems, racks. Whatever

Thank you so much Scotty!

Thought I will throw in a third one!

Option 3) 2013 Toyota Highlander Plus with 121,787 miles, single owner. 13 Service history records on Carfax. He drove it for 11,550 mi/year for nearly 11 years. Car costs $12,995 fixed price. Gas mileage 20/25.

Kindly advise me. Thank you so much.

@rohit3 - Please do not post duplicate topics, which is against forum rules. If you need to add additional information simply post it as a response to your original topic. Thank you. (Duplicate text removed and additional content merged with original topic.)

Hi, the new post I made was about two Honda Accords out of which I want to buy one. Please bring back the original post and not just the third point.

@rohit3 - It looked like the first two 2012 Honda cars in your 2nd post were an identical duplicate of what you had in your original post. If I was mistaken you have my apologies but you would have to re-enter that information since once deleted it cannot be brought back. What you can do is enter those two additional vehicles here.
