Looking at buying an EG, quick couple of Q's

[Manusdei]

Yeah, I've bought from interstate before, got the inspection and every thing, but was still disappointed with what i got, sure it was a neat car, but a few small things that the mechanic that looked at it said was Ok, turned out to be not quite so good...

Not sure exactly what model it was. the sunroof was electric, but it wouldn't open by its self, with a little nudge up it would open by its self.

Now I'm looking at another car, on these forums. Only prob is it was around 210k kms on it, how do these cars go with such high KMs?

If you want reliable, get a Toyota :P

IMO 2 words follow this.

1)BULL 2)SHIT

or atleast in my case.

Civic's and Honda's in general are extremely reliable. 200ish kms does not seem to bother most engines as long as they are well looked after. You have to look at other thing's though such as CV's, gearbox, clutch, electrics, brakes etc. All these thing's will most likely wear faster than the engine.

Thanks for the reply.

I've sent the owner a PM, and awaiting response in regard to tyres / service...But i still much prefer the look of an EG over an EK...hmmm...

Ever watch the Drew Carey show and how they sing "Cleveland Rocks!, Cleveland Rocks!"

I've just realised that the EG i was loking at up here, has a VTEC engine in it...I was under the impression none of the EG's came with a VTEC engine out of the factory here?

Heres the link for the car if any ones intrested...

both have four disc brakes
