So two weeks ago I was in a car accident that totaled my trusty blue 1994 Honda Civic.. that car was older than dirt and had 318,000 miles on it but it was so dependable I just loved it. I bought it in 2006 for $2500 and drove it for 10 years.

So I spent the last two week bumming rides from people and doing what I could to get around but was not able to get much gym time in. Thankfully today I found this little gem on a dealers lot. Its a 2003 Honda Civic LX, 5 spd with 112,000. The car is immaculate inside and out and I stole it for $2700. It went to pepboys for inspection and passed with flying colors.

    We have a 98 Honda Civic and it has over 250,000 miles on it. Still going strong. I've had 6 Hondas. Great cars

    Thanks.. This is my 6th Honda and honestly if you want a daily commuter that is good on gas and rock solid reliable than Honda can't be beat. I love Honda because of the quality and reliability. They are not luxury or extremely powerful but they were never meant to be.

    Thanks for your kind words.. Here is the kicker this car was originally sold to an Airmen at Gary Smith Honda in FWB.. As soon as I saw that I knew this was the right car for me.

    So clean..

    Is that a touchscreen nav too?? I'm jealous.

    Wish I had found something nice for that price instead of dropping on a new tranny. :disappointed:

    It is a touch screen but no navi.. its some pioneer double din.. I'm probably going to replace it went I install my stereo equipment.

    It was really hard to find a nice car in Albuquerque for cheap.. most were total garbage for double the price of this one. I am used to FL where these cars are a dime a dozen for cheap..

    I've had 3 Hondas and loved them all. I had a 2000 civic that looked just like your new one....but 6 months after I paid it off some dumbass ran a light and I l t-boned
    them, totaling my civic. I'm currently in a Fit and getting 30mpg on average. I have a 45 minute commute so it's, perfect and both my car seats fit. The fit is go.

    Honda's are great on gas.. Every Honda I have ever owned has gotten 30+ mpg and most of the civics are 35-40mpg depending on how you drive.
