Hey guys I have a really low budget at the moment of about £1500 and I needed a quick run around/work horse for local city driving and shopping. Car prices at the moment are crazy and I have been struggling to find anything I think would last me 12 months, I found the following car on facebook marketplace that I am interested in, the car is:
MODEL: HONDA CIVIC (COUPE)
ENGINE SIZE: 1.6
TRANSMISSION: AUTOMATIC
FUEL TYPE: PETROL
YEAR: 2003
MILEAGE: 96,000 MILES
I am not a mechanic and have very basic knowledge about cars if any. I know oil leaks are usually a instant no go.. the engine cap having a mayo like substance usually means the head gasket has gone etc.
If the car runs fine and has no knocks or bangs coming from the engine, no smoking and seems completely mechanically sound.. then how much do you guys think I should realistically pay?.. seller has it listed at £1495.
I checked the MOT history and it passed it's last MOT with the following advisorys:
Will she last a year or so with the advisories on the MOT or is she not worth buying? Any advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks
