october 2005 civic 7th

yea i had a look at redbook but i dont seem to like redbook as they always quote less thats what i have found out anyway.

my budget was $20k max so if i went for new i would have had to add another $5k.

anyways i have the car now, i just picked it up !
but im still at work will post some pics on the weekend.

Redbook is just a guide. Real life prices are dictated by supply and demand. There is always a demand for 2nd hand civics as they are compact, reliable, fuel efficient and quite spacious. Unfortunately for the 7th gen, not many people bought them when new. That's why now their 2nd hand selling price is higher.

lol while driving back to work - which is about 5 kms from where i purchased the vehicle, i tried to put the stereo on, i didnt succeed in finding the on button, also i wanted to reset the trip computer but i didnt know what button to press as they gave me the car with a full tank of petrol, will try all this tomorrow.

So dude..........where da pics!

pics are coming, give me 20 mins :-)

Yup! That's the OBD II socket, all ready for scangauge2. :)

As for your chip, I'd just use touchup paint.

thanks

Very nice! :) Reminds me of my father-in-law's grey one.

Do you have any plans for mods (eg rims or lowering) or gonna keep it stock?

hi, yea thanks, yes i like how the Honda looks, have driven it a little over the weekend, like the brisk acceleration, the things i dont like are, its noiser on freeway speeds than my old magna, and the fuel tank is quite small only 45L compared to my 60l for the mgna, so i will be going to the petrol station more often.

i dont intend to mod it in anyway, keep the car as is.

no u wont be goin to the petrol station more often

u forget ur car has a 4cyl 1.7L, ur magna prob had a 2.4L 4cyl and its heavier....

ull easily get 450+kmz from a tank from ur civic judging by the kind of laid back driver u seem to be

u can pull 7-8L/100kmz....even with the automatic...unless ur stuck in traffic all the time

oh btw....u deffinetley got ripped....

u shood have posted up here for some advice b4 u bought the car

i got my 7th gen 05 model brand new for $22k..and free paint protection
