First off, check the odometer to see how many miles the vehicle already has on it. Cars with more miles tend to be cheaper, but they may not last as long—this is the tightrope you must balance!
Luckily, the Honda Civic is a notoriously reliable car, so these risks should be mitigated slightly. All-in-all, we do recommend spending more on a used model that has fewer miles, the value tradeoff is worth it.
