Am I ever going to find one?
Hi Everyone,
Not sure where this thread should go... but... I'm just looking through the paper and the net to find an EK Civic in manual, under 200K KMs that's anywhere from $3000 to $4000 in Sydney and hasn't been trashed. It's for a friend of mine, not me.
I've had a look at a few in that range and EVERY single one looks to have been trashed. The sellers seem pretty dodgy to be honest. Patchy service history or the classic "this car belongs to my aunty/cousin who isn't here".
We're looking for a bone stock, non modified car. At the moment we're looking at the CXI model which is the utmost basic Civic spec there is. :p
And one more question... do Civics blow their head gaskets easily? nearly EVERY single Civic that I've serviced from the EG/EK era with a D15/16 engine for my friends has had a silently blown head gasket. By blown I mean the coolant is bubbling at idle and when you accelerate the coolant goes everywhere!
But the question still stands, do decent Civic CXIs in the $3000-$4000 range exist or should we be spending $5000-$6000 for a decent example of a 15 year old Civic? (Honestly I'd just go buy a much newer Camry or something with $6000).
Thanks.
