Inspect the Vehicle
Before purchasing a used car, inspect the body for scratches, dents, and other signs of damage. Rust and other signs of wear and tear can be a dealbreaker, but if you find any imperfections, you can use them as leverage to negotiate a lower price.

In addition, check under the car for leaks. And don’t forget to take a test drive. It will help you evaluate the car’s steering and braking response, engine power, and the feel of its suspension. You should get a smooth ride before choosing to invest in the vehicle. Also, test out the controls and electronics to ensure everything is working properly and you’re comfortable using the vehicle’s features.
Look Into Your Financing Options

Other Cost Considerations
In addition to the purchase price, dealership fees, and taxes, you’ll need to think about the cost of ownership when budgeting for a used Honda Civic. Some considerations include:
- Registration: Including the registration fee from the Department of Motor Vehicles and the California Highway Patrol fee.
- Insurance: The Civic is a popular car and one of the most frequently stolen, so insurance rates are higher than average but generally reasonable.
- Maintenance/Repair: Add a few hundred dollars per year to your budget for regular maintenance. Hondas are less likely than other cars to need frequent or major repairs.
