Q: Should I buy this used car?
My mechanic, whom I’ve known and trusted for years, has a car for sale. It’s a 1997 Honda Civic. I’ve test driven it and it runs great. it has about 116,000 miles on it. I’ve done a Carfax history report on it and nothing showed up. I know that it’s had some work done on the rear because of a past fender-bender. He’s selling it for $4,200 but he went down from $5,200. Is there anything else that I can do to see if this car is legit?
EX:
Besides taking it to another mechanic for a private-inspection.

A: If you trust your mechanic and did your background checks and homework, there shouldn’t be a problem. Make sure he includes at least a 6 month bumper-to-bumper warranty on it. As you’ll probably be going to him for repairs and maintenance, the car should be OK. Check auto websites to make sure the price is about the same for a car like that too. I get a bit nervous buying cars with over 100k miles on them. Things happen you know. Good luck.
