    Maybe a mitsubishi mirage/colt for low insurance and tax might be better ? Good reliable car as well.

    It's the presence of the factory air intake system. I actually can't remember the last time I saw one on a civic :o
    Even the radiator clamp is mint.

    The strange thing about it for me, is the respray at 36,000. More than likely car got a tear along a door or something and was repaired. A claim on mileage that low is easily enough verified at any rate. Things like the gearstick, seatbelt mechs and steering wheel should be immaculate. New brake pads are necessary imo, as the originals would be 16 years old..

    That aside, Insurance for a young man on those Honda Civics is just about the most difficult, prohibitively experience insurance scenario goine, Im sad to say. As mentioned, the model after are cheaper for some reason.
