check for leaks sa shocks at lagatok sa harap (may worn out bushings yan).
crumpled plate number = nabangga na yan malamang.
goodluck sir.

for leverage, you can check the status of the ff:
power retractable antenna
working power windows (especially the rear ones)
aircon
power locks
flawed idling (could mean a damaged iacv or just a simple case of a dirty iacv & throttle body)

for its general body condition, check for "alon" on its paint. if its present, it may indicate body repair done before. same goes if you check for "tunog lata ang kaha". to do this, just walk around the car and do some light tapping on it in order to check if the sound your knocking produces is muffled or not. if it is, malamang nilagyan na ng masilya iyon and that may mean that that particular panel may be less than perfect, indicating repair done on its body or paint. also, look for the possible presence of rust on its wheel wells (inside & out)

btw, check for bulutong on its roof, older civic cars may have that problem too

bring a mechanic if you don't know what to look for.
