Just bought a 2008 Civic with only 40k miles… is this a good deal?

Check for any leaks underneath and keep up with regular maintenance. These Civics can easily last over 200,000 miles.

I just got an 06 and it’s already got 191k on it.

Mine had around 180k when I sold it .

Congrats! How much was everything in the end?

That’s a solid price. The 8th gens are super reliable… I see tons of them on the road daily.

Nice car and great find. I used to have one that ran up to 160k miles with no problems until it got totaled. Really cheap to maintain too… they just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

Thanks, appreciate it!

You should think about adding a new head unit with Apple CarPlay, maybe a backup camera and LED headlights… would be perfect .

Tempting, but I’m planning to keep it stock. Did get an aux-to-Bluetooth adapter though .

Lol, bet you paid way over retail… they probably got you for 15k just because of the low miles.

I feel the same… people dislike it, but mileage isn’t everything. I try to buy newer with high miles. I don’t get paying over a third of MSRP for an old car. Sure, low miles are nice, but age still matters. I almost got a totaled 2017 for $3500, just needed some work. Rubber parts, belts, and tires age even if they aren’t driven.

It’s got 40k miles though. Show me another one like this for $600… you’re dreaming.

I’m actually a dealer and paid $8500 out the door… you mad?

Still overpriced lol… I got mine for 600 bucks.

@Vinn
Sure, if that’s what you say.
