I wanted other people's opinion on the car I'm going to buy. It's a 98 Honda Civic DX coupe auto transmission. I am buying it for 2000-2300. Now, is it a good deal if it has 161,000 miles and if it's salvaged (rear bumper damage)? It also has an alarm system, aftermarket rims and an aftermarket exhaust. Minor exterior damage with only 1 noticeable scrape. Also minor interior damage. Am I getting a good deal?
If you can answer the following concerns I have it would be greatly appreciated.
1. I test drove the car with 5 people in it (including me) and the back of the car seemed to go down.
2. The rpm seems to go quite high shifting from 2nd to 3rd but I was told that it's normal in 4 cylinder automatics.
3. When I drove through a bumpy road I heard a small squeek coming somewhere from my left side.
4. Speakers or radio don't sound too great. Any way to fix this?
Thank you for answering I know it's a lot but it's my first car and I'm spending my hard earned cash on it.
