Hi Everyone :)

I have found a 2009 Honda Civic Hatch VXi with 107000km on the clock for about R100k.

Do you guys think this is a good deal? Is the mileage too high?

Thanks for any advice.

Actually quite good, I think. My 2008 was at 178k km last month (and then I wrote it off).
Very nice cars, too. Are you looking at the diesel or petrol?

Petrol, I wouldn't mind a diesel, but I can't seem to find many with low mileage.

I have a 2010 model with all the bells and whistles with 80 000km on the clock. What will I get for it?

Petrol is fine. Diesels have clutch issues (I have one) and they are very scarce. Every time I service it I am hounded by sales reps trying to get me to sell it.

Plenty car for the buck. I had the 2010 pre-facelifed one that I got rid of because of the said clutch issues (74,000km) but managed to get hold of a 2012 facelifted model with 9000km on it in 2013 that now has 40,000km trouble-free KM's on it.

Are referring to that offer from Imperial Select in Midrand? Why not try Honda Midrand for a similar offer?

No, haven't seen that one. The one I found was at Audi Centre Bruma.

Funny, no one ever hounded me to sell my diesel :(
There are plenty of the diesels up for sale, just not with the type of mileage and price in the OP.
Did you have issues with your clutch specifically, or did you sell as a precaution? I'm very much aware of the issues, though I was lucky enough never to experience any myself.

So a quick update, they ended up selling the car over the weekend.

I am trying the Midrand Imperial Select now, but they don't seem to want to budge on the price of R108 995, and their trade-in offer is rather low compared to what I have been offered before...

Any ideas?
