Its a 2005, 130k miles on it

You right, I might have have to put money on some repairs. Seems like the former owner knew it was a ticking time bomb and sold it to me
There is no drastic problems but the list goes on:

- Wheel alignment is unable to be perfectly straightened. Went to plenty mechanics, couldn't get it completely parallel
- A couple times I would start the engine, and shyt would sputter and shake the car loudly then shut off
- Driver Door lock is almost done, hard to use my key with it
- Car window electric motor looks like its cooked, sometimes the window rolls down, sometimes it doesn't
- Bad fuel pump, had to fix that
- Had to get a new Cam shaft sensor
- Now the car shuts off when I put on the A/C

If you are going to drive a car that 15+ years old you should have some kind of mechanical knowledge. Most of your issues sound like they can be fixed with just watching youtube videos.


Also sounds like the car was in a bad wreck and repaired if they can't get the alignment right. You'll have small issues with any 15+ years old vehicle.

Civics have a string community of fans. You could probably sell it for double of what you’re thinking. Those cats buy those cars to mod them.

Bout to trade on my 2009 Accord.

It's still basically fine but to really get it ship shape I'd have to spend a couple bucks. Windshield cracked to hell, dents, paint touch ups, AC shot, needs some feet..

Fukc all a dat. Covid made a niqqa hood rich so I have the trade plus $10K to put on something a lil newer and nicer.

Say Brehs? Got any suggestions? Low key but mad reliable

Lexus

Accura

Are the.two I been thinking about

Go german. V6 (sounds very nice,), subtle looking. Very fun to drive. Downside is alot of them are around 100k miles , most of them are already modded but they hold their value. They're rare.

Yeah I already put like $1500 - $2000 in this car. I'm exhausted with this

Can't see myself putting more money in a car that was made in 2005

Funny thing you've mention about that engine, I've just read an article about it. I heard they're terrible.

Yeah my first Cadillac had the Northstar Engine

shyt was horrible. But I bought the car for $800, and lasted for 1 1/2 years before I sold, so I wasn't complaining :manny::mjgrin:


The way it drove was PURE HEAVEN :wow:. Sometimes I :mjcry: when I think about it. Can't wait to get another Cadillac

I have a 2015 that I bought in 2016. It hasn’t given me any real trouble.

Got it at 12k and it has 90 something on it now. I’m riding it till the wheels fall off :whew:

Yea if you are not able to work on your own cars it's usually best to spend a little bit more upfront on a new vehicle. That car probably only needed $2-300 in parts. Id get something that's no more than 10 years old.

You know what, now that you mention it. I wouldn't mind learning to work on a Cadillac, that would be fun and save money :ehh:

Not a Honda though :picard:

Honestly the Honda is wayyyy easier to fix than most Cadillacs. Id highly recommends getting a basic toolset come black Friday and learn to do some basic stuff yourself. Youtube will be your friend, I can teach a 3rd grader to fix that cam crank sensor on that civic.
