Is this a good deal?

Why are you buying a shitbox from a dealer?

>>16993833
Btw it has an amazing carfax. I already called the dealer and offered them 3k. He immediately said no.

I can get a newer civic for $1900, the fuck.

Cause I'm autistic

>>16993850
No excuse.

Offer this guy 4k and call it a day.

Why did you pay 4k for a 98 civic? You paid double what the car normally goes for on private listings. Price aint worth it unless the car is extremely low milage or has the top of the line options

Just went to a stealership and they had a 1990 camry le with 36k miles for sale for $3k. Owned by some senior citizen who almost never drove. Should I consider that instead?

>>16994498
NO. You should only buy a shitbox from a private seller.

But why doe

>>16994498
No. Low miles are not a good thing on vehicles that old. I just figured this out the hard way. There are components that inevitably deteriorate completely independent of the mileage. Belts, pumps, alternators, hoses, etc... will all need to be replaced on something that old. You would be much better off buying a 1990 Camry Le with 100k miles that has maintenance history having the timing belt done, water pump replaced, and so on.

I don't think so. I don't like to play with dicks when I drive.

>>16994203
I didn't buy it. Im still shopping around

>>16994530
Dealerships have overhang and charge high rates for used cars. Private sellers sell for waay cheaper.

>>16993961
He's asking 5.5k. I doubt he'd take 4.

>>16994561
Ummm no

>>16994203
Look at the immaculate carfax. Same dealer serviced on time for 14 years for over 100k miles.

>>16994570
Are you serious lol, dealerships pay salary, rent, utilities all of which go into the cost of their cars.

You're unfathomably retarded for considering that

For that same price with a private seller you could get a 7th gen civic in pristine condition or an 8th gen shitbox

Got bored of looking but there's seriously dozens of better options

Get a cavalier, they're much cheaper and very reliable. Many go for 1k. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/search/cto?auto_make_model=Cavalier

still shocks me to the core,
WHY THE FUCK
would anyone pay over £3500 for a 19 year old commuter car?

WHY???

no matter the condition, mileage, service history or who got laid on the backseat it's worth £150 maximum.
why the fuck are used car prices so fuckin high over there?

>>16994602
For a reason, at least you can have some fun with a Civic. Good luck getting anything but the death of your soul out of a bottom barrel GM shitbox

>>16994545
retard
get back on your bus

>>16994543
How much would it cost to do that kind of major service?

>>16994611
This is bait...right?

>>16994644
no, it's not, go on Gumtree , any area in UK and check out just how low our secondhand market prices actually are.

i've had Jaaags, an Audi, a CR-V, Focus's, Mundeos,my present car a Hyundai Santa Fe, even bought a Beauford .....not one cost me more than £800.
