How About a 2000 Model Honda Civic (SIR Body)?

If you ask me, those EK Civics are kinda overpriced for what you get (no airbags, ABS, etc). It is a good car to drive though; still my favorite Civic model in terms of driving feel.

Irregardless of how well it has been maintained, keep around 30K handy for any extra repairs, preventive maintenance (changing all fluids, filters, checking belts, suspension, etc.), comprehensive insurance, and transfer of ownership, etc.

And add 18"rims first and foremost... nice.

As what you all said and suggested, i've done it all. Maraming salamat po mga sir, I decided to get the unit.

Done deal na pala. Goodluck and enjoy your new ride.

I hope hindi naman ako gagastos ng ganyan kalaking amount, as far as i've seen the car and inspected by my trusted mechanic, all of those basic parts (belts, fluids, filters, hoses, etc.) has been newly replaced by the owner, suspensions are still intact "walang kalampag" as they say. No leaks din, all marks made by the manufacturer on its nuts, bolts and screws in the engine are still intact. All in all, no mods has been made, all stock but of course there are signs of aging being an 11 year old car.

I guess that would be alright. Each car that departs from our garage is always problem free and will continue be so for many years to come with proper maintenance. So there really is such a thing as a problem free 2nd hand car. Guess you hit the jackpot.

Palit ng aftermarket air filter nalang yan, change to xenon bulbs, and change the stock mags to 16" or 17" (IMHO wag na umabot ng 18"s baka maging matagtag sobra ang ride), there are some very good shops in Banawe where you can buy good brand new and 2nd hand mags for a low price. Hope you enjoy your ride!

17's = too big for an ek

16's max.

Thanks mga tsikoteers sa inputs ninyo, i'm planning to have it checked at casa or any reputable shops this coming weekend for some basic preventive maintenance just have more peace of mind. Iba rin kasi syempre yung ikaw mismo yung nagpa-check.
