Q: honda civic?
iight guys this is the whole thing i gotta honda civic 95 and its automatic, how much would i need to convert it to a stick shift??? or is there a shop that i can have it done?????

A: no it does not go to another place to answer ?’s it will cost as much as the junkyard will sell it for no more then 700 the only thing is you will need to buy a new clutch i would not get it from a junkyard everything bolts right up except the shift linkage you will need to drill 2 holes on the bottom of the car after you take the auto assembly out but other than that your good the 92-95 civics should already have the bracket there for the clutch pedal so good luck

Q: honda Civic?
Is their any way to make my 2001 honda civic go faster without having to buy parts?

A: take out the passenger seats… and dont put anything in the trunk… This will make your car lighter… which makes it faster.

Q: Honda civic?
Does anyone know when you should replace shocks on a 2000 Honda Civic?

A: They don’t have shocks, they have struts and they last a long time. Check them by driving down the street and see if it bounces as you drive if not then don’t worry about them. If you look under the car at the strut (inside the big spring) and see any fluid running down the strut then they are leaking and have to be changed

Q: Will my little Honda Civic make it from the Midwest to Washington?
I have a 2000 Honda Civic and am planning a move from St Louis to Washington next month. I would like to just take my car and some belongings, but I worry about the car making it through the mountains. Any thoughts?

A: it should make it as long as its been looked after and has decent tyres.
if you are really nervous about it do some checks on it like check the oil and water levels.
if you dont know much about cars ask a mechanic to do the checks first before setting off.

Q: I have an 89 honda civic and I need to convert the injectors from 2 to 4, How can i do it?
I have a 89 honda civic and I bought a vtech engine that came from 94 civic. The 89 civic is 2 injectors and the 94 civic is 4 injectors. What do I have to buy, and how do i Install it in order to convert it from 2 to 4 injectors?

A: I dont remember hondas having 2 injectors or throttlebody injection. but I’ll try to work with the info you gave me. YOu will need the entire engine wiring harness and the computer to run the 4 injectors. step by step intructions are too complicated to put here. You could have picked an easier project like building a bridge to hawaii. I think you got in a little too deep

Q: Why wont my 1989 Honda Civic start without rolling down a hill to pop the clutch?
My 1989 Honda Civic will not start without rolling down a hill to pop the clutch. I thought it might be the battery, but once I chnaged it, the car did the same thing. Does that mean the clutch has gone bad or is it something else?

A: It could be anything except what you mentioned. Obviously, the clutch and transmission and engine is working great.

Could be just about anything in the charging/starting system. Starter, battery, alternator, switches, or other things. I’d start simple. If you “jump start” the car, does that work? I’d try that and if it works you know the starter and switch is good. If you can’t jump start it then it’s the starter/solenoid, (probably) or maybe a bad wire or switch.
If it does start when “jumped” then I’d suspect the battery. The alternator is a possibility, but you said you charged the battery, so if it was a bad alternator, (causing the battery to go flat due to lack of charging current) then charging the battery would have fixed it temporarily. So that would leave the battery. Even though you applied a charge to it, that doesn’t mean it did charge up. In fact, that’s the definition of a bad battery.
I’ve heard of other more esoteric problems such as faulty switches in the transmission or things like that, so if all the obvious things check out OK then you have to start digging. Good luck

Q: How long did your Honda Civic last before having major problems?
How long (in both miles AND years) did your Honda Civic last, before having major mechanical problems? Please also indicate whether you live in a snowy area or in a place like California where the conditions favor car longevity.

A: we have a 2001 accord (basically the same as a civic) and it has 185,000 miles and counting. there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with it. we live in michigan (snow land). i’d drive it to south america tomorrow if needed. it’s been such a good car to us.

Q: Is it honda civic model changing in 2009?
Please somebody let me know weather honda civic model is going to change in UAE in 2009.Cozzz am planning to go for HONDA CIVIC.

A: Umm…car manufacturers (actually most major manufacturers of any technological product) continuously update and release new models/upgrades each year so whatever you do, there’s bound to be new stuff released all the time.

Q: How far can a Honda Civic and a Prius go on Electric mode?
How many miles can a Honda Civic and a Prius go when the battery is fully charged. (civic hybrid and prius hybrid car)

A: Hi,

stay with me and I’ll give you the full answer.

Actually, both vehicles are “full hybrids” meaning they can run under electric-only mode for short distances at low speeds.

The Civic was just upgraded to a full hybrid in 2006, but the Prius has always been a full hybrid.

The Prius system will take you further, up to 25 miles in stop and go traffic, with the regenerative braking system. And the Prius will go faster, up to 25 mph, with careful acceleration.

The Civic system is not able to do either of those marks. It uses Honda’s hybrid system called the “Integrated Motor Assist” and it’s mostly designed to boost the gas engine, not run on electric mode for any length of time.

Essentially, you have two different vehicles. The Prius is a mid-sized sedan that is more equal to a Camry or Accord for features, technology, price, and comfort. The Civic is a compact and is on the same level as a Corolla for features, tech (excluding the IMA), price and comfort.

Not to say either is better than the other for what they do. They are just different, just as the Civic is to the Accord or the Corolla is to the Prius.

One last note, Prius sold in Europe and Asia come with an “EV” mode button. Pressing that button disables the gas engine for city driving. That is where the 25 mph/25 miles distance come into play.

We don’t have that ability here in the US because our driving conditions are too different from theirs to justify having it here. Basically, we drive longer distances in our urban environments and Americans drive faster over those long distances and would overcome the EV mode too easily. (We also don’t get the auto parking option that the Prius’ over there have (similar system on Lexus GS here in the US) because thier parking is so much tighter there on average.)

The Civic isn’t available with an EV mode at all, here or there.

BTW, to answer the previous post…

Computer system updates / changes / etc. for the Prius are covered by Toyota during the 8 year or 100,000 mile warranty period. And a safe bet would be that Toyota would update your Prius any time an update would be needed after that.

Every manufacturer has computer upgrades, even Volkswagen.

And as far as less parts go, Prius have no throttle cables (electronic acceleration), no steering pumps or steering belts (electronic steering), no starters, no alternators, no distributors, each cylinder is individually controlled with it’s own fuel injector, a sealed CVT so no regular transmission, and with the regenerative barking system, you should never have to replace the brake pads because the generator does almost all of your braking.

Anyway, if you’d like any more details, read my other posts or contact me.

Q: What other engines would fit my 2000 honda civic if i wanted to engine swap?
Hi i am looking to engine swap my 2000 honda civic (coupe) and don’t know what other engines fit its body. Like what engines from other stock cars and/or and turbo or improved engines made for the civic are there?
thanks.

A: Any engine will fit any car. i have seen a CRX (really small honda) with a V8 in it. it was a beast. i would go with the K20 as well or second choice a B18, or H22. all three are great engines.

Q: What is the difference between a Honda civic and Honda Prelude? What’s better for upgrading for performance?
I love both the Honda Prelude and Civic hb and plan on getting one of the two soon. I want to have a car that has a lot of options as far as upgrading the performance of the car. Which car would be better for that? I preferably want to stay with Honda, but are there any other cars that are specifically good for what I want that may not be Honda?

A: i would say honda civic. the prelude is more powerfull but kinda heavy. consider also the acura integra..lol, i mean RSX. honda has a huge following, so aftermarket will always be available….search websites to see how much modifications will cost for each car. that might help you decide which is more bang for the buck. also, keep in mind that the accord had a larger engine, but the v6 only came with an automatic.

Q: Is it possible to convert my Honda civic by using an electric forklift motor?
I have heard recently that it was possible to convert my Honda Civic by taking out the traditional gas engine and replacing it with an electric motor from a forklift. Ever hear of someone actually doing this? Typical cost? What level of expertise do you need?

A: Given the extreme labor and cost, plus the size of the battery, forget it. Too many factors to consider, like what gear ratio, how to transmit power to the rear or front wheels, where to place the large batteries, and just how many miles would a charge provide?
Taking the drive train out of ther fork lift would be fine, if 5mph or less would satisfy your needs. In that case, just remodel the fork lift and forget the conversion.

Q: Honda Civic Door Gasket Starting to Fall off. How can I BEST stick it back on?
Hello,
I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX 2-Door. The passenger side door gasket is falling off. It dangles and gets caught in the door. Some moisture gets in and also there is a wind noise issue on the expressway. Anyhow, could someone recommend a good adhesive and technique to get the gasket fully back on the door? Pro and expert answers only please; I could think of paste, superglue, etc on my own. Thanks for your help!

A: Use 3M weather strip adhesive. It is great stuff.

Q: What size rims did the 1995 honda civic ex come with?
I bought a 1995 honda civic ex with aftermarket rims, and I’m looking for a factory set of rims but don’t know what size they came with.
I have tried 13in but it’s to small, it doesn’t get pass the brake caliper.

A: The ‘95 Civic EX came with 14″ rims and a tire size of 175/65-14 (sedan) or 185/60-14 (coupe).

Q: honda civics?
does anyone kno where to find cheep honda civics? like 3000 or less? and i already kno craigslist

A: try ebay

or a local dealer

Q: Honda Civics?
Do any 08 Honda Civics come with a larger than 4 cylinder engine? And if anyone has driven one with a 4 cylinder are they slow starters?

A: Nope, all civics are 4 cylinders.

The LX and DX models are slowest of all, especially with an automatic transmission.

The EX/Si are the faster ones of the series, with VTEC motors and a little more torque than the base models

But all still 4 cylinders.

Q: Is it true that Honda Civics are easy to break into?
I am getting a car soon and my family and I found a good deal on a Honda Civic. I do not mind Honda Civics and they drive well, but my boyfriend told me that Honda Civics are a bad choice because anybody can break into them and steal them. Is this true? I live in a pretty safe neighborhood, but my college is located in an area that isn’t dangerous, but not that safe either. What are the risks of having a Honda Civic? How likely is it that somebody can break into a Honda Civic and steal it?

A: i have had a civic for 2 years, it was done up with rims & a paint job, sunroof, exhaust ect..
never has anybody tried to break into my car! i leave it in side streets when i go shopping in dark, shopping centre parking, the city ecttt

Q: what other year honda civics front passanger windows can u use?
we need a front passanger window for a 95 honda civic 2 door but we cant find the car at the junk yard. what other honda civics windows can we use?

A: pretty sure just 92-95 2 door.

Q: How do people win races with Honda Civics?
Nothing against Honda. I know they’re great cars… but the honda civics only get about 100 horsepower (I know the new ones get more, but I usually see people with the older ones)

I know you can soup em up and stuff. But I even know people that win races with them without hardly doing any mods. And most new normal commuter cars out there will get a few hundred horsepower.

Is there something else other than horsepower I should be taking into account?

A: If its like auto cross race’s that they are winning, it’s because they handle well around corners and they don’t loose traction as easily due to not having any torque.

For drag races, its mostly due to the lightness of the car. In some case’s, a simple head swap can give you an extra 17-35hp, depending how invloved you get with it (adjustable cams and chipped ecu). Throw a stage 2 or 3 cam on top of that and you get another 20hp or so.

So you can go from 102hp stock on a 92-95 civic with a d15b7 to around 150+ with not a lot of work and in a lot of case’s less than $1,000.

Even with a blown head gasket and extra crap in my Civic, I can still get a 9 second 0-60. Car has 205,000 miles too. It’s actually quite amazing how well they hold up.

Q: Honda civics?

I am buying a car soon and i found a car i liked and its a Honda Civic EX 1997 with 180,000 Miles. I heard that cars die at certain amount of mileage so anyone know what mileage do Honda Civics die at? anyone know?

A: Hondas you can drive for everr. I have a honda accord with about 190,000 miles and it still runs great.
Just make sure you change the oil on time and you will be fine. You can keep that car for over 250.000 miles. Im sure

Q: A question about the quality of newer Honda Civics?
Are the latest generation of Honda Civics (2006 and later in this case) as durable and dependable as Civics from years past granted, of course, regular maintenance and a lot of tlc is involved?

A: I never had one so I cant say. But if your looking into tuning, the older versions are easier

Q: Are honda civics bad cars for a young driver?
I like honda civics (looking at early 1990’s models) but i am told that they are not good because
1. Parts are expensive
2. Expensive to service
3. Very commonly stolen car

Are these reasons true?
i mean a young driver who doesn’t have much money
ok
My point is are they expensive to maintain compared to other cars with similar fuel efficencies

A: parts aren’t that expensive, considering the large aftermarket out there for civic. ebay is great,. servicing will depend on what’s wrong with it, regular maintenance can be done by you, the driver. and depending on where you live, you might want to check the statistics for cars stolen in your area.

Q: How much do Honda Civics cost in Indiana?
Planning to come home soon (my home is in Elkhart, Indiana)…and Looking for a car, I was wondering how much Honda Civics cost in Indiana, Im talking about the 1992-1995 ones, The EG Civics, i prefer Hatchbacks…Was just wondering how much would they cost there for the car in a good condition?

Reasons why I would like a Civic is of fuel efficiency they have, and plus they are okay…

Hatchbacks

Q: What’s the difference between the eg hg or ej Honda civics ex?
ibhav a Honda 1994 Honda ciivc and when I’m shopping online foe parts it says it will fit the eg’s even though I selected the right model and year. will they fit?my first vin.# are 2hgej. What do these mean?

A: EG/ HG/ EJ are chasis codes…
EG is 1992-1995 hatchbacks
EJ is 1996-2000 sedans

never heard of HG tho.

many parts are interchangable on honda cars (honda/ acura). they share many of the same motors and many parts are motor specific. so it is not uncommon to find an aftermarket part that will work on a few different models.

Q: What is the best model for a used Honda Civic?
I am interested in getting a Honda Civic coupe. I was wondering what is the best model and year for the honda civic? I want it to be used since this is my first car. I was thinking about getting a 1999-2005 civic.

A: man i would tell you the Em1 or Ek’s parts are cheaper , if your wanting to modify is also cheaper then the Ep3’s and the F’s .. i would recommend an Em1 (Si) , hard to find but if you cant find you you can always go with an ek (lx)..as what year you choose comes the pros and cons, pros–cheaper parts , easier work, cheaper labor, cons, attracts more attentions to thieves , easier to steal if a good alarm system is not invested on it, there is so many things you wanna consider. i own an Em1 thats street tuned, and very well taken care of and its theft proof .. you can take it as far as you want

Q: What kind of used Honda Civic Sedan could I get for 4-5K?
Hi,

I’m looking for a Honda Civic Sedan for 4-5K from a dealer. For those of you out there familiar with these cars, what kind of year/mileage should I look for? I only use a car for light errands (drive only about 2k miles a year) but I would like something reliable enough to get on the highway with. BTW I do have a trade in (‘99 Sebring convertible) but I don’t expect much for it.

A: You could get a 96-00 EX sedan for your price range. The miles is going to be a bit over 100k miles of course. I got my 1999 civic ex sedan with 68k mile for 6900. Good luck

Q: How do I maintain a used 97 Honda Civic?
I just purchased a used certified Honda civic from the Honda dealership in Atlanta, Georgia. I am moving to New York and just have basic questions on how to maintain a used Honda so that it can last a couple of years longer.

Thanks in advance

A: http://www.hondabeat.com/maintenance.php

Q: How much do u think i can buy a used honda civic?
Used 98, 99, 2000 model honda civic SI for?
or a EX.
2 door also
STick transmission

A: $1,500-$4,000 depending on condition

Q: should i buy a used honda civic or a brand new one?
i am want to buy a Honda civic and i just wanted to know what should i buy a brand new civic or a used one 06,07 or a new one. which is a b better deal and how much should i spend on it.

A: I would say that all depends on what you can find for a used Civic. The good thing about honda is they have a very high resale value so unless you can find something used thats at least $3000 under book price I say just go for a new one. Also when you figure that loan rates are almost always lower on new cars, it can be cheaper to buy a new car after you figure in financing charges.

Q: Questions about my used honda civic 2006?
I’ve purchased a used civic 2006 and it makes a loud whirling noise or I guess spinning noise. What could this be?? I’ve been looking around on the internet and noticed that the civic 06 had a recall on a bearing??? Would this recall apply to me if the previous owner did not get it taken care of?

A: If you are hearing a grinding noise, the recall would most likely apply to you.
You will still (probably) be able to get the bearing replaced at your dealer for free.
If you can’t, I suggest new wheel bearings from http://mibearings.com
Good Luck!

Q: where is it best to buy a used honda civic?
ok so im soon to buy a used honda civic i have a budget of $6000-$7000 what year do you think i can find and should i look at a honda dealership or just a used car place. which one will give me the best buy?
thanks
also is there any year i shold stay away from

A: I’m quite familiar with Hondas. In that price range, you are looking at a 2000 Civic model for about 6k or a 2001 model for about 7k. That is a fair price. You could probably even talk a private party down a little, but make sure you get it checked at a dealership before you buy. I wouldn’t get one with over about 80,000 miles on it. Civics are so common, that you can get a low mileage one. Don’t let someone talk you into paying full price for a high mileage car. Keep in mind that Honda changed the Civic body style in 2001, so it might be your benefit to go with an ‘01 as opposed to a ‘00, because it is the newer model. People will see it as a newer, more desireable car. Check out both though, because you may actually prefer the look of the ‘00 body style. In ‘00, Honda came out with a real nice looking SI model, most were in a snazzy blue or red color. They are hard to find and command a little more money though. As for Honda dealerships, they would be the best as far as knowing they thoroughly checked and maintained the car, but they will try to stick the price to you. It’s great if you can get a fair price. If their cars are not flying off the lot, they may accept the prices I quoted above. It is not what I would consider a good or bad deal, so it would be fair if you could get one there for that kind of price. As for independent dealers, make sure it’s reputable and does not deal with salvaged cars or other junkers. Given the age of the car, it is common for them to end up at an independent lot, because most dealerships just wholesale those cars. But some independent dealers pick up the cheapest thing they can get and not do a thing to it, but still jack up the price. Other independent dealers just get low cost, quality, trade in cars & check them out. I would take it to a Honda dealership for an inspection just like you would with a private party. Online, you can check autotrader.com. They are my favorite. You can put in lots of search criteria. Remember, most people will put a higher price than what they will accept, so you can put a broader price range in as a search. Independent dealers list there, too. Check your local paper, and check your local Honda dealership. Let me know if you have more questions. Also, if you like the Civic, you’ll love the Prelude. You could probably get a ‘00 model or so around your price range. They are awesome, I had one. Good luck.

Q: Buying a used Honda Civic with 100k miles on it?
So I need a car for my commute to class (about 15 miles each way) and was looking at buying a used Honda Civic. I need something that will be reliable since obviously I can’t miss class, especially in the compacted summer classes. I also need something that will last for a fairly long time. Will I be able to get a Civic with 100k miles on it and drive it to 200k miles with little problem? My budget is around 5-6k

A: No, if you buy a car with 100k miles on it you’re dumb cars aren’t made to last long after 100k

Don’t pay attention to that last guy he’s a dunce, 400k miles ?
are you kidding ?

Q: Looking at a used Honda civic Si
I’m looking to buy a car and I found a used 07 Honda Civic Si. The car looks to be in great shape, the only drawback is that it has around 38,000 miles on it. They are asking 19,625 for it. Since it has so many miles on it, is it worth it? I’m not very familiar with the Si’s.

Thanks!
Yes, I know how to drive stick. My current car, 99 accord is a stick shift. I want another manual.

A: Not worth it. you can walk off a lot with a BRAND NEW SI, for $19K out the door (if you know how to bargain, put down a good cash downpayment and have a good interest rate). We just negotiated for a 07 SI for $16 K with only 10K miles on it.

38K on a year old car? that’s way too much traveling in that car. The average American travels about 12K – 15 K per year.

Hope you know how to drive stick. <--- should have put a =) .. I figured you know how to drive a stick..its was a rhetorical question. ^_^

Q: how much i sell my used honda civic vtec engine for?
i have a 2002 honda civic vtec engine with about 100,000 miles on it and i would like to sell it on craigslist or something, but i have no idea how much this is worth. any ideas?

A: go on blue book and get the price. Or call a used store and find out how much they sell them for. Then go 200 or 300 lower. Good Luck

Q: On average, is a used Honda civic more or less expensive than a used Volkswagen beetle?
Can you also give me the benefits of each and the estimated price of each used car? Thanks
For the 2008 volkwagon beetle and 2008 Honda civic

A: On average?

What years?

A 1980 Civic compared to a 1971 Beetle?

A 2008 Civic compared to a 2008 Beetle?

1995 Civic vs 1940 Beetle?

You can’t ask for an average on something that has hundreds of variables.

As far as used prices, you didn’t specify years, trim, or anything else.

Making your question completely vague and pointless.

Q: I much should I look to pay for a 2009 used Honda civic EX?
I’m looking to buy a new car this spring once I graduate college, and I want a 2009 or 2010 Honda Civic Ex (used). How much should I expect to pay for one with 20,000 miles that is reasonable? My assumption would be around $18,000-$18,500.

A: Ya 18,000 or 18,500 is what some 08 were running when I recently bought my civic ex. I just bought an 08 ex for 15,300 last month the sticker price was 18,100 but I talked them down cause dealers always try and get you. When looking at honda dealers and your getting ready to go through the paperwork/ contract do not let them talk you into buying Gap coverage or the extended warranty. I have Mercury insurance and got an extended warranty for 100,000 miles or 6 years for like $300.00 bucks and the dealer was trying to sell it to me for 1,500.00 and they also try and tack on the Gap coverage for another 1.400.00 that coverage is in case of a total loss they will pay out the remainder of the loan if your upside down on it. It too can be purchased for way less from your insurance company just call and ask them. They will also add on another 1,000 to 1,300 to activate the KARR alarm I did it just cause my last honda was stolen and I don’t need to deal with that crap again its an expensive ass alarm but im my eyes worth it just so im not always paranoid someone will steal my car or break in Good luck and bring someone who is a good negotiater like your hubby or dad my boyfriend was my negotiater lol

Q: does anyone know why there are so many new used honda civic si for sale ????
im trying to find out if theres anything i should know about them or why there are tons of them that are around 2006-2008 year that are for sale??

A: I don’t know. I couldn’t find any so I bought a new 2007 FIT. It is cute but really not enough car and doesn’t get anywhere the gas mileage they promised. I can’t wait to unload it and get something bigger than a lawnmower. I will never buy Honda again.

Q: Honda Civic question?

A: were in a recession buy a ford

Q: Looking for used Honda Civic will pay cash!!?
I live in San Jose, Ca and I am looking for a used Honda Civic or Prelude or Accord. Must be 2 door (coupe), with moonroof, all power windows, locks, air conditioning, cruise control, tinted windows, low miles, V6 engine would be nice, maybe white in color or red or silver, automatic would be nice too. Nothing older than 1998. I have $8,000.00 cash in hand! Please answer if you have knowledge of such a vehicle for sale.

A: Well try Yahoo Autos. They will have all sorts of cars that fit your need in your area. They show you pics of the interior, exterior etc. I hope this helps

Q: Why cant i find any used 04 Honda Civic Hybrid ‘ s?
I live in Raleigh NC.
I cant find any used 04 Hybrid Civics for sale…as if they dont exist.
But a lot of people have them.
Anybody knows how to get it?
All the locall private parties and dilers dont have them, or as far as i know they dont.

PS: im not talking about the new 08’s

A: Probably because people who own them don’t want to sell them and people who want them find them before you do (supply and demand).

Q: What is the best deal for Extended auto warranty for 90-100k used 2002 Honda Civic and the price I can expect?
Is it cheaper and effective to get warranty through dealer? or online sites, like http://www.warrantydirect.com/. If I bought the vehicle from individual sales (not through dealer) then will it still be cheaper and effective to get warranty through them?

I know that most warranty won’t cover vehicle that has got milage beyond 100k.

A: There are so many ways to go with extended warranties that it is really your decision…benefits offered and prices vary all up and down the scale, so it would be best for you to look at as many as you “want” to, and compare the coverages/restrictions vs. prices…

You might try searching for a warranty comparison site too, I think they are out there in the ether world…

And yes, there are warranties over 100,000 miles, you just have to find them…

Q: i am petite (5 Foot) and i have found a Honda Civic for sale…?

Q: Is $4,450 a fair price for a 2000 Honda Civic DX Hatchback with 115,000 miles?
I recently found a used 2000 Honda Civic DX Hatchback for sale in Northern VA and I’d just like to know if $4,450 is a fair price to pay? Here are some details:

115,000 miles
Automatic 4 cyl
1.6L engine
Cruise control
Alarm system
Sony CD player
Great condition all around

My brother told me that with it being a Honda that even at 115,000 miles it probably still has another 350,000+ miles to go. Does that sound right? I heard people joke about how a used Honda or Toyota with 150,000 miles will last longer and are also better investments than a new Ford/Chevy. Any truth to this? Anyway, I’d appreciate any advice you folks could give me on this.

A: That is a good deal. If you were looking at this car on a carlot here it would be about 6,000. I say go for it and it is a Honda, so you will have many miles if its in as good of shape as it sounds. good luck

Q: Where can I find a cheap hubcap for a 2002 Honda Civic in the Toronto area?

A: any auto place.
downtown would be a good place 2 start if u live near there.

Q: Sales Tax on buying a used vehicle from private seller – to high – appeal?
I bought a used honda civic 97 lx. I paid 2400 for it. When I went to the RMV they charged me $165 for the vehicle (so their value would be 3300). The vehicle is definitely not worth 3300. The door is broken. There is rust. And some cosmetic damage.

Anyone to appeal the sales tax? I live in MA.

A: Lots of states are doing this because they have lost out on tax money from people under reporting the value of the cars to pay less sales tax.

visit a few online websites that appraise cars. Try www.edmunds.com, www.cars.com, www.nada.com. Print out their values for your 97 civic. Use poor condition. Also take pictures of the car as well. take one of the VIN number so they know it is the car you bought and not some switcheroo.

Q: Can you order used honda motors from japan?
im thinking about getting a civic. But all the ones i see for sale have quite a bit of miles. how much does it cost to order a used motor from japan?

A: The shipping cost itself to a Japanese port form a US (LA area) port is $1,200 according to Jspec Works web page.
The opposite direction from Japan to US may be similar cost.
And overall order cost (incl. custom clearance etc.) may be around $5,000 in addition to the vehicle price.

I think it is not bat idea to contact the company who work for importing car to US form Japan to get a estimate.

Q: I want to bragain a used car..?
..This is gonna be my first time dealing at a dealership, there’s this car I saw is a used, 2005 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe on sale for $12,988 40,000 miles on it. What do you think it would be a better price for this??..

..I want to pay 8,200-8,500 CASH. Do you think they’ll give it to me?..

A: I would have to say you don’t have a chance. Only if that dealership was doing extremely bad and even then they probably wouldn’t. According to kelly blue book that cars suggested retail is around what they are asking and trade in is probably about 9000. They arn’t going to let it go for for what they got it for even witch cash. I would say $11,000 is a better estimate of what they would go for but by no means am I an expert on the subject. It’s always worth a try. The worst they can say is no.

Q: Looking at a civic, Fusion or mazda 3, please help!!?
hi, i am looking at a few cars for myself and for my parents. They want a car to get me to and from work and when i am not using it they want to use it. They would like to keep the bill around $15k. i have test driven a Ford Fusion, Mazda 3 and a Honda Civic. I was also looking at the Vw jetta 2.0 but for some reason there are none in the northeast so that car is not an option.

Which of the three cars is the most reliable and would be the funnest to drive without giving up comfort. My dad is 6′2” and we normally drive around with 4 people total in the car so we want a comfortable car.

I am confused because they all have good qualities and the prices are darn near the same, so i dont know what to do. Thanks for any help.

I was going to buy new but i did Find one honda that was used for sale near me. It is a 2006 Honda Civic Lx auto, excellent condition, power everything. The only negative is it has 38k on it. The owner (a women) drives it 90miles round trip a day. Help appriciated
i don’t really want a diesel car as the price to fix them is slightly higher and starting them in the winter by me is a real pain. I think Vw is going to be a touch more on the expensive side also.

A: WHY did you not look at the Jetta TDi or even the Golf which is on the same platform.???

Read this article on them!!

Q: Honda Civic for sale, is it a good deal?
I am thinking about buying a 1990 honda civicwith 150000 miles on it v4 automatic for $1500.

Is it a good deal? it does have alot of miles on it, but I know that hondas last a little bit longer usually
It is is good condition, it has a body kit on it

A: This really depends on the trim level (ie: DX, LX, EX) also it will depend on the maintainance records. Hondas are very well know for being dependable and lasting for many many miles so this may be a great deal. Before anything, ask to take the vehicle to a Honda dealer service department and perform a 27 point inspection which comes free with an $19.99 oil change and have the technician inspect the brakes, spark plugs, transmission, Boots, suspension etc… If it comes clean you have a great deal, If not, then you lost $19.99 but at least you aren’t spending a fortune on repairs. Good luck!

Appreciate all help givin.

96-00 Honda Civics are universal to each other, whereas 92-95 Honda Civics are not.

Q: For Sale.. 99 honda Civic Ex Coupe…??
I’m trying to sell my honda but not really sure what a good price is. I looked on Kelly Blue Book and these are the prices they gave me.

Excellent: $5,995
Good: $5,455
Fair: $4,760

Its a 1999 Honda Civic Ex Coupe with 112,500 miles. In really good condition. I’ve had it for 2 years. The only problem I had was when I 1st bought it, I had to fix something to do with a “slave drive/cylinder”(???). I duno if thats what its called. but I got that fixed and haven’t had any problems since. It’s been well maintained and kept up. No major blemishes or anything like that. Only a few scratches but they could probably be buffed out. Overall it’s a really good dependable car. Gas mileage isn’t bad either!

So how much would u pay for it?? Are the prices they gave me realistic or no?? (1st time seller)

A: That many miles is nothing, Hondas routinely go 250,000 and more.
My ‘85 Honda has well over 200,000 miles and still doesnt burn oil, runs fantastic.
I just paid $4000.00 for a ‘95 Accord and that was after looking at a lot of cars.
Watch your local papers, see what they are advertised for.
I dont think $5,200.00 would be too much to ask, and plan on coming down a bit, nobody pays asking price for a car so set your price a bit high LOL.
The slave cylinder has to do with the clutch actuating mechanism, no big deal there.
p.s., ummmm Hondas ARE made in America unless they closed their plants.
Good Luck!

Q: Any 91-93 Honda Civic Hatchs For Sale In Northern California?

Q: does anyone know why there are so many new used honda civic si for sale ????
im trying to find out if theres anything i should know about them or why there are tons of them that are around 2006-2008 year that are for sale??

A: I don’t know. I couldn’t find any so I bought a new 2007 FIT. It is cute but really not enough car and doesn’t get anywhere the gas mileage they promised. I can’t wait to unload it and get something bigger than a lawnmower. I will never buy Honda again.

Q: A honda civic accord is on sale for a good price but it overheats, is overheating fixable?

A: Over heating is fixable, but correcting the over heating can range from simply replacing a very inexpensive part to a major engine repair. You need to find out the cause of the problem before deciding if this car is really a bargain.

If you decide to purchase this car, and it is a private party sale be ABSOLUTELY certain to get a CLEAR title BEFORE money is exchanged. A CLEAR title is necessary in order for you to register the car. A CLEAR title mans the car is currently registered in the name of the person selling it, and there are no liens against the car.

Q: Will honda release a new civic in the phil. for the year 2007 or will they stick to the new honda civic 2006?
I just wanna find out if Honda will release a new honda civic this year because Im planning to buy a new one this January but hesitant because they might sell a new type of civic at the end of the year.

A: they are coming out with a mugen honda civic si sometime this year but its limited to only 500 cars per year. i just bought a 2007 Honda civic ex in december

Q: Does the coolant added to the new Honda Civic 2006 come with antifreeze?
Last year I bought a new Honda Civic 2006 EX. Now I am planning to visit Sking areas near to my place. I want to know the coolant came with this car contains antifreeze usually or not. I haven’t changed my coolant till now.

A: Yes, the factory coolant IS antifreeze. If you need to know your current freeze point, the shop that does your oil changes should be able to test it for you. If you have never added anything to it, you should be OK on a 2006. Have the coolant changed every 3 yrs. or 30,000 miles.

Antifreeze and coolant are the same thing. One liquid that does two jobs.

Q: How much did you pay for new honda civic 2009?
I am look at a new honda civic what is a good price to pay.

A: This is the ABSOLUTELY the best way to shop.

Go to Honda.com, build the Civic you want, and click on different dealers to have them contact you.

Now, DO NOT GO IN. Just tell them you don’t want to waste their time, but DEFINITELY don’t want to waste yours, and you’re looking for White Civic Sedan LX, period. What’s the your best offer OTD (out the door with tax)?

If they won’t give you a number, tell them you will go in when NO OTHER dealers give you any quotes over the phone or thru e-mail.

Do this through Cars.com, Edmunds.com, and Carsdirect.com.

Make sure you write down which dealer’s what salesperson gave you what kind of deal, ’cause after a while, everyone sounds the same.

If you’re in CA, where dealers are everywhere, you should be able to get any color of any Civic for the absolutely best price you can get, as there’s no such thing as “limited” or “rare” Civic anymore.

Be patient. Most dealers and salesperson, will call you back in a week after a failed negotiation over the phone or e-mail, to see if they can convince you to buy a car from them.

When you do go in to finalize your deal, MAKE SURE you QUESTION any extra fees when you’re signing the final papers/agreement. Usually, they try to stick in a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) for $300 ~ $600, which is BS. No such thing. Tell them you don’t want it. YES, you don’t want your car inspected before delivery. If they said they can’t take it off, or it’s already done, tell them you want to buy a car that’s not inspected, or need another day to think about it. Usually, they’d know you know what’s up, and they’ll take it off.

Good luck!

Q: What types of Questions should I ask when I buy my new Honda Civic?
Well I have decided to get a car for school and after much research I will probably get a Honda Civic. What types of Questions should I ask when I buy my new car? how do I not get ripped off and taken advantage of? any suggestions?

A: All cars have a suggested retail price that is posted on the window. You can start your negotiation based on that. Once you have decided what car you want, buy the main Sunday newspaper in the city where you live. Look at the automotive classified section and see at what price the various dealers in your area are advertising the car that you want. That should be your target price. When they get you in the finance office do not buy the extended warranty or any of the other stuff that they will try to sell you. Compare financing with your bank because the dealer will try to add interest to the loan. Also don’t buy any dealer added accessories like alarms, fancy wheels, after market sunroof etc. Other than that make sure you like the car because once you drive it away you can not take it back.

Q: How much does the new Honda Civic cost?
Hi, my mate thinks that her new Honda Civic costs £32,000……i still think that the max. you could buy one for is £20,000…is she right or is she bragging ?

Q: Is the Honda Civic a good first car for a new driver?
I am a 16 year old driver and I was looking at the 2 door 2010 or 2009 new Honda Civic. Is the car and insurance affordable? Is it a safe car? I’ll take any information about it!

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.fateback.com

Q: How much does a sales person make on commison for a new Honda Civic?
How much does a sales person make on commison for a new Honda Civic?
does anyone know
??

A: On a typical new Honda Civic sold at retail price, including GAP insurance without an extended warranty, your salesperson would make about $150-400. This depends on several factors…buyers credit score, total percentage of markup in vehicle. Usually Honda salespeople get paid between 20 and 30 percent of the dealership’s profit on the vehicle. They are also commissioned on the financing percentage (hence the credit score comment). This can get complicated though. I would say $280 is a good average total commission on a new Honda Civic. A used Civic could be up to $1500.

Q: Can any body tell me which is a better car Toyota Corola or the new Honda Civic ?
Can any body tell me which is a better car Toyotas Corola or Honda Civic the new version. The parameters that I want an evaluation on are a) Comfort in city and long distance b)reliability c) Fuel mileage d) aesthetics and e) resale value.

A: Performance
Both the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic are likely to feel a little slow because of their high horsepower-to-weight ratio.

Handling
The Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla have approximately similar tires. With their similar turning circles, the Civic and the Toyota likely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Corolla has no lessons to learn when it comes to torque from the Honda Civic.

Utility
Neither the Corolla nor the Honda Civic has a marked advantage with respect to seating capacity.

Comfort
Taller drivers will markedly enjoy the extra head room in the Corolla’s front cabin compared to the Honda Civic. While the rear of the Toyota Corolla offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Honda Civic, there frankly isn’t much of a difference.

Dimensions
Both the Toyota Corolla and the Honda are likely to feel a bit sluggish because of their high horsepower-to-weight ratio. The Honda Civic and the Toyota compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Toyota Corolla to the dealership as the Honda Civic. Toyota Corolla costs markedly less than the Honda Civic.

Overview
The Honda and the Toyota Corolla have the same basic after-sale protection.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU,
All the best

Q: How can I lower the driver’s seat in my new 2006 Honda Civic Si?
I just bought a new Honda Civic Si coupe. I love the car but have found that I simply need more headroom. The seat is lowered as far as it will go. Is there someone that can make custom seats that could sit lower? HELP!

A: You should have test driven the car before you bought it.Trade cars and get one that fits or take it to an automobile upholstery shop and have them install custom seats.

Q: custom seat base and slider for new honda civic si?
I’m wanting to buy a new honda civic SI. When I went to check one out this weekend the seat would not adjust to give me enough leg room. I’m 6′3″ so I need an additional 4″ to 6″. A friend of mine suggested getting a custom seat base and slider to move the seat back. Has anyone ever tried this? Does anyone know anything about modding car seats? Is there another option to add leg room. Legitimate answers only please. Spare me the funny remarks.

A: check into getting a set of racing seats. sometimes you can adjust the bracket on the floor before mounting the seats to give you the extra space you need.

Q: Should I buy a new honda Civic?
I’m looking at a new Honda Civic as my second car, what do you all think of them?

A: Well, they are well screwed together, they hold onto their value well and are undoubtedly reliable. Not desperately keen on the look of the new one though, from behind they look awful, i’d be tempted to go for the old Type R, quality motor and quick with it.

Q: How much can i talk down a dealer for a new honda civic?
Im looking to buy a 2009 Honda Civic LX sedan and it is listed at 18,925 msrp but then they have an online offer for 16,450. Would they deliver it or something?

Q: I want a Honda Civic (New). My soon to be job pays $7.25 per hour. How long will it be before I can get my car?
I would love a new Honda Civic but a used car will do just fine too. After researching I have found that a new one run up to about $16,000.

A: You wouldn’t even qualify for a big screen TV with that pay.

Save up and pay cash.

Q: What kind of gas mileage does a new Honda Civic SI yet?
How good does a Honda Civic SI do in the best of cirumstances, it is a car I am looking into, and am curious how it does when your not driving like a bat out of hell.
