Longtime lurker here, looking for some advice from the boards.
SWMBO and I are in need of a new car, and I want to get something that can compete with these high gas prices. We have budgeted around $10,000 with our bank for a used car, and the vehicle must be under 100,000 and a 2000 model or younger. I know that the low amount of money we've budgeted limits the choices, but I just need something to get us through my last year of Nursing School, after which we can definitely afford something better.
I've found two manual 2005 Honda Civic EX vehicles nearby that are both around 50,000 or 60,000 miles and $9000. According to Kelley Blue Book, a vehicle of this year and mileage should be upwards of $12,000-$15,000.
I'll be window-shopping on Tuesday the 19th of August. I'm 99% sure I want this particular year and model due to its rating of 32-38 mpg (manual trans).
Here's a photo of the model:
Do any of you have experience with this particular model? Do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks!
