THE GOOD:
It's a Honda Civic -- as reliable as a car can be, inexpensive parts and easy to repair.
THE BAD:
It needs a head gasket and the miles are up there-- they're all highway miles (my daily commute is 100 miles/day). I bought the car with 73, 000 miles on it and have changed the oil religiously every 5000 miles. The car has been well-maintained (you don't get this many miles on a car by crossing fingers and hoping for the best-- you have to maintain the car).
AND THE UGLY:
Actually, for a northern car of this vintage, it's not too bad. There is a bit of rust coming through under the gas filler door and some rust starting to come through on the passenger quarter panel, but other than that, there's not much rust on the top or underneath. The interior is in very good condition.
The A/C compressor needs to be replaced, so the A/C on the car is currently in operable, but other than that, everything on the car works (power windows, door looks, lights/gauges etc.). The car runs fine and can be driven in its current condition, but the head gasket situation will need to be addressed. If you know your way around replacing a head gasket, or know someone who can, with a relatively small amount of money spent on parts, you could have a car with plenty of life left in it. It's a Honda.
Contact me if you would like to see and drive the car in person.
