buying an FD

[pheestyle]

hey guys,

so like im planning to go interstates to inspect an 2006 civic sport.

is there a checklist that i should be having for this particular model? stating common problems rah rah rah

any info would help

cheers

To be honest, there's no point going interstate to inspect a civic FD as there should be plenty in your state already. The civic FD are a relatively new car and it's a Honda so there's little or no problems... Are you buying a manual FD or auto?

Agreeeeee. There's so many of them that you may as well buy locally haha.

Nothing model specific comes to mind that you should look out for.

Service history, any damage or spot rust signs of an accident etc. Basic stuff

so common why bother going so far

[pheestyle]

well im saving myself 3k+ for a sport thats only had one owner and full logbook history. its worth the flight (300 return) + freights only 300.

also coming from adelaide its like 15% increase on cars automatically for some reason.

can someone see if theres a problem in the rear bumper? it looks abit il-fitted? can anyone confirm

[DuffyFD]

My modulo lip hangs like that a little. Just needs double tape. Just check underneath to see whether there's any structural damage - shouldn't be though.

[black8thgen]

check for the engine mount - common problem to break on the FDs

also check for squeaking brakes - common issue on all FD models, but not that its a problem per say just it could be annoying

cant think of anything else tho

how much to get a rwc for your state

check the power window lol

check the power window lol

Yeah the front windows get difficult to use and sometimes get stuck on their way up.

Silicon spray will sort it out though, it's just once water gets down there it stiffens up the runners a bit.

Car has ACT rego probably means it's been thrashed on the Tuggeranong Parkway the public service dragway.
