I am thinking of buying a 2004 Civic. I drove it for 30 mins, and felt no problem with the engine. It is nice overally. But the car 's brake pad need to be replaced, and its CD rom does not work.

The seller also said she never changed the timing belt at all (current mileage is 112K).

It has 2 accident records, one in front bumper (replaced) and one at the rear. Both are minor to moderate, no damage to the engine

She asked for 5K3, which is KBB price for fair condition.

Is the price reasonable for this Civic?

What is probably the fair price for this car?

Please advise!

Thanks a lot.

We just picked up a 2004 sedan with 174K miles that was in great condition and had fresh paint for $5300. It was previously totalled in an accident due to mileage (mainly body and cosmetic damage, no frame). Looks pretty mint now.

Talk them down the price of a brake job and a replacement cd player at least, or tell them to get it fixed before they sell it.
