Q: Keep my 1998 Honda Civic or buy a new car?
I have a 1998 Honda Civic with 168,000 miles. The car is paid for and is starting to have some issues. It broke down in Feb and it cost $400. It is in the shop now and I’m not quite sure what is wrong with it yet. My dilemna…do I:
A. Keep the civic and get the work done. I may need more repairs down the line…timing belt, shocks, ???…who knows. This route will be the cheapest but provides the most uncertainty with reliability and repairs.
B. Sell the old one for around $2,000-$3,000 and use this as a down payment. Get a new Civic and not have to worry about the repairs… the payment would be around $200/month. This route is the most expensive and has the most certainty.
C. Get the car fixed for now (depending on how much it will cost)…save a bunch of money for a down payment, hope that nothing else goes wrong with the car and try to sell the civic in 3-6 months. This option proves a little risky as well.
What would you do?
Other work that has not been done yet includes: Clutch, water pump, Cat converter…not sure when these might go.
A: The rule of thumb is that if you are expecting to put more than $2,000 into the car over the next 12 months, then you should get a new car.
I don’t know what maintenance has been done to the car in the past or what needs to be done (except timing belt and shocks), but I am guessing at 168,000 miles, you are also in need of a new water pump, maybe a transmission/clutch (or at least a transmission flush), radiator flush, and anything else that may go wrong with a car with that many miles.
I have heard of Civic’s going 300,000 miles+, but every car is different. If you are taking it to the mechanic every couple of months, not only is it expensive, but also time consuming.
Personally, if you can get a new Civic for $200 a month, I would do it. You have a much better looking car, piece of mind, and you won’t spend your time in a repair shop.
- Clutch will run about $600
- Timing Belt will run about $300
- Since it is an old Civic, the exhausts and extension pipe usually go about every 3 years, so that will be about $250.
- Water Pump will be about $150 (if you keep the car fix this when the timing belt is changed and you will save on labor).
- Shocks will run you at least $300.
That is over $1500 right there….plus, your time is worth something, I am sure. Get the new car if it is financially possible for you. This car has served its purpose. You only live once. $200 a month won’t bankrupt you. Just make sure you call your agent and check what the insurance rates on the new one will be before you buy….just to be safe.
Q: If I buy a 1998 honda civic with 133,000 miles for $2895…?
Is this a good buy? I’m in the process of buying my first car so your answers are appreciated. Thank you.
A: Baring anything being wrong with it, it sounds like a really good price.
Also per page 142 of the owner’s manual, the timing belt should have been replaced at 105,000 miles [rather than 90,000 which was recommended for some time for older models]
Q: what is the solution for rust in the bottom parts of honda civic 1998.?
I buy honda civic 1998, but i find that all parts in the bottom of car are rusty. also there is a sound from wheels when i use brake????????????? help me what should i do??
A: for rust removal & repair, check out KBS.
Q: what is the fastest engine that you could buy for a 1998 Honda civic ex?
A: Ok this is just like the 96-99 Sentra, they had a 200sx which was the SE-R the the old days. the biggest they had was a 2.0L SR20DE engine which spat about 140 horses.
Since you have a civic, I don’t think you should go beyond a 2.0L. Originally you have a 1.6L (although i am not sure if you have a 106 HP or the 127 HP VTEC). Either way its not bad very fuel efficient engines if you maintain them properly.
Now the fastest and the biggest engine you can put for a 4 cylinder is from a Honda Prelude. Their biggest engine was a 2.2L with around 185 to 220 HP. you would also require a transmission change from the prelude as well. Not only prelude but you can also put bigger engines from the new Civic Si, Acura RSX.
Honestly the new civic si would be a better option despite the fact that there are many aftermarket parts available + hope you know how to drive a stick, its worth it.
You can put a V6 in a civic as well, some have done it but its alot of work. wouldn’t recommend it.
Civic Si Acura RSX Honda Prelude
These are the engines you should be looking towards and make sure you change your transmission.
Good luck!!!
Q: 1998 Honda Civic EX Oil Change Intervals?
I bought my 1998 Honda Civic with about 98k miles, and it didn’t come with any owner’s manual. So I am not sure what is the recommended mileage for changing the oil? I know I use 5W-30 oil, cause that what it says on the oil cap. And if anyone recommends a certain brand of oil I am open for any suggestions.
A: Car manufacturers use to recommend every 3,000 miles but now some of them are saying your car can go to 5,000 miles before an oil change is needed.
You can order new owners manuals for your vehicle online!
Q: 1998 Honda Civic DX 2door, 80K, no accident, 1 owner. $5000. Is the price is ok to buy or still expensive?
Recently I would like to buy a used car. 1998 Honda Civic DX 2D, 80K, no accident, 1 owner. The price is $5000. Is the price ok to buy or it is still too expensive? Thank you!
A: Here is something very IMPORTANT that you must always remember. The value of a car always depends on its condition. If this 1998 Civic that you mentioned is in great condition with no mechanical problems, then it is worth more than $5000. Take the car to a mechanic and check it out. A good Civic with 80K miles should last you a lifetime of driving fun. But that all of course depends on the condition of the car and how its taken care of.
Q: Is better to buy a brand new Kia Rio under warranty or buy a 1998-2002 Honda Civic with 80,000-100,000 miles?
A: And the answer is….a 10-20000 mile used car coming out of fleet service, these cars are eligible for manufacturers service contracts which always use NEW parts to cover any service claim, not used or rebuilt—-CARMAX service policy, and most other non factory.
You should find a very fuel efficient dependable car, might have to search a bit for an import since most do business with U.S. manufacturers, but regard less the best buy

Q: Where can i find a good body kit for my 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback DX?
I just bought a Black 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback DX and wanted to know here i could purchase a good body kit for it?
A: Justin, whats your budget? Reason why I ask is because you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a body kit from Japan for your 96-98 Civic (EK) Hatch such as Air Walker, Back Yard Special, C-Westin, J’s Racing, ETC., you can pay a fraction of that by buying a replica body kit manufactured by VIS Racing, Duraflex, companies like this already have (Cwestin, Buddy Club, Air Walker) style made for your vehicle. I personally have a VIS kit on my Nissan and am very happy w/ it, I made my purchase through http://www.iatuner.com/ and they gave me my VIS Vertex style kit for an awesome price. Hope this information helps.

Q: Toyota Corolla 2000 vs Honda Civic 1998?
Hi
I have the option of buying a 1998 Honda Civic EX(85,000 miles) or a Toyota Corolla 2000(85,500 miles). After reading reviews on edmunds, the Corolla has worse reviews.
Anybody has any hands on experience with these cars?

A: I think, Honda Civic is better and more powerful.
Q: Iam looking to buy a honda civic vti 18i (1998-9model) good or bad move please help ?
A: Very good car, bulletproof engine, plenty around that have had mature owners & will have been fully serviced & cherished. Ring around Honda dealers or check their website: A lot of people are very regular customers & part ex one Honda for another – at ten years old, a dealer won’t want to sell these cars themselves & should let them go pretty cheaply.
The 1.8VTi 5 door UK built Civic has 167bhp. It has very similar 0-60 performance to the Jap built 3 door 157bhp 1.6VTi (8 secs) but will do a good 10mph faster at the top end.
Q: Which to buy? 1997 Toyota Camry or 1998 Honda Civic?
Hello I am about to purchase a car for my girlfriend, and we are deciding between a 97 Camry LE and a 98 Civic LX. Both cars are priced exactly the same at around $3000. They are both in great shape and have about 140,000 miles. I would like to hear from people who have experience with either car. I would especially like to know if these cars, (being 10 years old) could be trusted on road trips. And finally, do you think these are good prices? Thanks for your help in advance!
A: I’ve owned a few civics and they can’t be beat. I’ve gotten over 250K on two (2001 & 1995), and a third one (1997) has 360K and still going strong. My 97 Civic has only had the clutch & 02 sensor replaced. You do have to make sure that the timing belt is changed per Honda instructions and the oil changed religiously. I think that is the key to their longevity. Camry’s are good, but their gas mileage is not as great. You also have to factor in that the Camry is roomier and does have a better ride than a civic.
