And asking $3.2K

[gherikill]

That is impressive. Wonder if it is a typo...

[myapple]

$3.2 sounds like a reasonable amount for that much mileage.

The same car with low mileage (60-90k) goes for around $9-10k with higher mileage 160-200k+ going for around $6-7k. Also note that this is the no frills base trim version with nothing!

[dshiu]

wow wtf lol 468k in 5 years..

[Shaner]

That's impressive.

My 2000 Sunfire has over 300k on it and it's still going strong. This is despite the fact that I didn't maintain the car properly. I was late with oil changes on a regular basis and I drove the hell out of that car. It's also hardly had any repairs done to it. The car just keeps going strong without needing any money put into it.

The battery and the fuel pump are the only non wear parts that have been replaced since I bought the car.

That's pretty impressive for a 4 banger GM product that cost $15,000 brand new.

I've been quite impressed with the GM J-bodies. They get a lot of grief, but they are solid little cars. My dad's 97 is still going.

Probably owned buy a travelling salesman, or delivery service. I run a taxi/shuttle service and can put 250,000km/year on a vehicle, no problem. Minimum retirement age is 500k. I have an 02 Montana in my driveway with 670,000km, original engine and trans. This summer I retired an 03 Vibe with 550,000km.

[SkylineGTR]

Wow that's a lot of km's. He won't sell it at that price though even though it's still going strong.

I bought an 2004 EL and was looking at high mileage civics to see how long my car has the potential to run. I came across this exact ad yesterday as well! Pretty cool eh

468K on a Civic??? It's almost half way through it's life then.

Pretty soon it's looking at some pretty serious maintenance....like an oil change probably.

That means there's no power window, no abs, no cruise control to break.

or the transmission, which this generation civics are prone to.

If a regular miled unit sells for $9-10, you'd have to pay me to get this one!

I put 400k on my first vehicle, a 79 GM pickup. burned a quart of oil btwn changes, when I got it, and when I sold it. Awesome truck - and this was before "quality upgrades" were implemented.

It's a civic, not a TDI
