The best solution is to find a car with an automatic. You'll be far
better off in the long run if you need a car with an automatic
transmission, to but one that came with an automatic initially.

Re: Honda Civic
 

Weebit,

I am just wondering, what does the car even look like? for $1,300 I
would buy the car, and just resell it. Even a 1999 Honda Civic EX Sedan
4D that is in very fair condition means that the vehicle has some
mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in
reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history ,
the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional.
The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust
damage, and even that would sell for $6,410

If this car is in good shape, its worth about $7,770, if so I would
just buy the car for $1,300, and resell it for about $6,000 and that
will give you $4,700 for free, and that is more then enough to get you
a civic.

Do you have any pictures of the car?

Re: Honda Civic
 

oh yeah, and come to think about it. I never heard anyone change a
manual to a automatic, but you always hear automatics changed into
manuals. This should really say something.

personally, I would only buy a manual!

No pictures. My son saw the car all I know is its a silver four door My son
thinks its a 95. Who ever has this car hasn't drove it in a long time.
That to me is a red flag that something is wrong with it. If a car is in
good shape you drive it you don't park it and then put a for sale sign on
it. I am willing to bet they parked it because it is messed up, and
conserved what ever is left of the car so they could get rid of it as fast
as they can without the car messing up on them before they did sell it. In
other words sell it now before it's completely tore up.
