I was looking for a car for my dauguhter and went to see quite a few cars that were total crap from craigslist. But you can get lucky I did happen upon a very nice copule selling a 94 Honda Civic with 59,000 mi on it that just had the 60,000mi service done at the dealer the year before.(They had all receipts and had paid 2,200 for the dealer service and tires and new muffler)They needed to sell as the were relocating. Got it for 2 grand. It was a steal only needed a new radiator and front brake pads. |
