Q: i am looking at purchasing a used 2001 honda civic with 123k miles and a rebuilt title.?
plz i need to know what i need to look out for before i purhase the car.also what paperwork is involved if i finally purchase it, how much does renewing registration on a rebult title cost, does it need to be inspected before i buy it. am i gonna have a problem registering it cos of the title. any detailed answer would be apppreciated
A: Do not do it! I work for an auto dealership and we run into many problems with rebuilt titles! it takes months to get everything straigthened out with the title and you are just going to end up spending more money than needed! The vehicle would need to be state inspected before you could get a new title for the vehicle! and if you try to sell it yourself you are going to have alot of issues selling it!
You would possibly have to get a salvage certificate which allows you do to a number of things with the vehicle, ranging from scrapping it for parts to rebuilding it for resale.
On the application you will provide the reason for the vehicle being salvaged, which will ultimately state what you intend to do with it. Plus, you will need to fill in the purchase price you paid, take an odometer reading, and write in the vehicle identification number (VIN). Your old title will need to be turned in with the application.
The fee for a salvage certificate is $20.
But unfortunatley with it having a salvage certificate you can not run the vehicle on the road! which at this point is when you can rebuilt the title! This is the reason an insurance company is required so quickly to send in an application and the title to the Motor Vehicle Administration if you retain the vehicle. The Motor Vehicle Administration seeks to ensure the vehicle is accounted for as salvage. This measure is to prevent the vehicle from being repaired and sold with the existing title, without a record of the salvage state. it is possible to rebuild the title which at that point you can get a regular used vehicle title!
One thing you would have to do is go through salvage inspection. The inspection is intended to ensure that the vehicle and/or its parts have not been stolen. The vehicle still must undergo a safety inspection before it can be registered!!!! and normally your state police would do the inspection! After you go through all this you can finally get the title in which you would need the bill of sale, the odometer statement, safety inspection certif., the app. for the title and the salvage certificate with the inspection stamp! The title fee is normally around $25!

Q: What are the best subwoofers and amplifier/speakers for a 2001 Honda Civic LX?
I have recently purchased a used 2001 Honda Civic LX and I am looking to later put in a sub enclosure of 12″ subwoofers and replace the factory speakers and possibly include an amplifier and/or tweeters. I do not want to spend too much money but I would like to get the best for what I would be spending. I do not know too much about auto audio so any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: it depends on what your willing to spend and subs and amps are not vehicle specific so you can go with anything you havent really narrowed it down for us
good luckthough

Q: I want to buy a used 2001 Honda Civic…is $6500 too much??
A friend of mine is selling his car he wants me to pay $6,500 for it:
2001 Honda Civic LX Sedan 4-doors
139,000 miles
5 speed
6-disc cd changer
drop-down DVD player
Power windows/locks
medium-sized dent on rear of car
scrapes, some minor body damage (not very noticeable)
leak in AC system – needs new hose
needs new air cabin filter
DO YOU THINK HE IS CHARGING ME TOO MUCH OR IS $6500 A FAIR PRICE FOR THIS CAR?? I LIVE IN MISSOURI.
no he is selling it to me “as is” meaning I have to repair the AC hose and the cabin filter.
A: The private party value on Edmunds.com (which is more accurate than KBB) is $3,200. Even if you gave it an overly generous rating of “clean” (“average” is much more accurate considering the body damage and other repairs it needs) it’s only worth $4,800.
Tell him to dream on. There’s no way he sells that car for more than $4,000. No way, no how.

Q: Is it possible to use the Honda Civic Type R 2004 headlights on a 2001 Honda Civic hatchback?
I have a 2001 Civic Sport SE Vetec and would like to change the headlights to the Type R 2004 headlights if possible. Also, If anybody knows the model number to the official Honda Type R headlights, that would be most helpful.
A: if you have the 2001 7th gen shape (EP) then yes, they should fit, the 6th gen shape continued to halfway through 2001 (EM1), so if its the 6th gen shape, then no it won’t. (by the way its VTEC)
I Don’t know the model number im affraid, but the type-r lights shouldn’t be any different to the SE ones, apart from the JDM type-r headlights, which have smoked effect internal plastic, just search on ebay, my advice is ask at a Honda dealer, and just make sure they will definately fit — honda may have changed mountings or fitments between 2001-2004, or even a slight re-design — im not 100% sure..

Q: What are the Automatic Transmission Ratings on a 2001 Honda Civic DX?
How much power/torque will the stock automatic transmission from this car reliably handle without breaking? The transmission is a 4 speed automatic. The 2001 Honda Civic DX uses a D17A1 engine that develops 115 bhp and 110 lb-ft of torque stock, if that helps. Thanks.
A: You dont want to increase the horespower by much a little wouldnt hurt but too much and it will eat up the clutches inside not to mention bands,servo,planitary gear,etc
Q: 2001 honda civic headlights and dashboard question?
I just got a used 2001 honda civic EX, I was playing around a little to get to know switches and such and came across the left handle it has off lights and highbeam .. when i turn the lights on the dashboard comes on and radio lights do too .. When I shut off the car lock the door I waited like 50 seconds lights didn’t go off on dashboard or radio and the headlights didn’t go off .. I don’t want to leave the headlights and interior lights on running because I’m afraid that will waste the battery .. is it suppose to stay on for a little while or do I have to manually switch it on and off each time I drive ?
A: Yes, you will have to turn it on and off manually each time you drive. In nearly every car you get you will have to manually turn off the headlights every time you turn off the car (Unless you get one of those nifty ones that does it automatically :] ).
Q: How often do I need to have my A/C system serviced?- 2001 Honda Civic?
How often do I need to have my A/C checked. I just bought a used 01 Honda Civic. I dont know if it has ever been checked. Should I get a leak check and refrigerant level check? Air blows cold but I dont know if it might be able to blow colder.
A: The usual guide is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. If the air is cold, it should be fine. You CAN get it checked and it shouldn’t cost a lot. If they have to top off the refrigerant, it, too, can be done at a minimal price.
Q: Where can i buy a new/used trailer hitch part for a 2001 honda civic?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
A: Are you looking for the entire hitch or just a part for it? I found a website which offers all sorts of hitches and accessories. They also have a page where you can find answers to most questions you have about hitches and receivers. If you are looking for the part that goes on your car, that is the receiver. Check out their site to see if they have what you are looking for.
Q: What motor oil do I use for my 2001 Honda Civic LX coupe?

Q: Is Honda Civic in 2001 worse than it in other years?
I am about to buy a 2001 Civic EX which has about 60k mileage on it. It is a good deal from good people. However, when I checked Carfax, there were concerns about transmission failure and many other things, about 22 recalls so far.
Is 2001 a bad year for a used Civic? Anybody has more knowledge on it? Thanks a lot!
A: With that many car facts on it I would steer away from it, honda’s and toyota’s are the most recalled cars going.
Q: 20-25 MPG on 2001 Honda civic after changing the distributor, what could be wrong?
Hi,
The MPG of our 2001 Honda Civic used be around 35 until one night it broke down in the highway. The next day, our mechanic told us that the distributor had to be replaced and he did so. Ever since then, we’ve got the engine check light on and the MPG significantly reduced to 20-23. The irony is that now the mechanic is saying that the catalytic converter is the source and it should be changed for approximately $900. I think it’s a rip-off, how would possibly both the distributor and the converter fail at the same time?!!! Could somebody please tell me what I can possibly do to fix it? I really appreciate all your comments.
Thanks,
Amanda
Thank you all for your prompt answers. I will definitely take it to other shops soon. It’s funny I didn’t even know that I could find reviews of the mechanics online! Any good place to check out their reputation?
A: Don’t deal with just one mechanic at one shop. Shop around.
If more than one shop tells you the same thing, you can be pretty well assured that that item is a problem.
However, if each shop tells you something different, then you keep on looking until you find the best deal or solution.
It is time you get “friendly” with other Honda owners and find out where they get their cars fixed at….because word gets around who is good and who is a rip.
Hope you still have the old distrib. because if that was the only thing changed and your fuel consumption dropped right after it, the “new one” is to blame.
That only makes sense.
