Advice on buying an EK GLi

[Mikecivic78]

Look for a VTi Coupe (1996-98). They have all options (- sunroof) and a perkier engine (93kw vs. GLi 88 kw).

The Coupes also keep their value better.

Also, they have body-coloured bumpers, which other '96-98 Civics didn't have. It gives the car a more modern look.

With the Civic coupes look out for slow power windows, squeeky clutch, worn rear trailing arm bushes as well as other things to look out for on any used car.

You can source one for $6K. I sold mine with 183,000km on the clock last year in Aug. It went for $6.5K within a week of advertising.
