Description
I am selling my amazing workhorse Honda. (There only reason I am selling is due to I needed a towing car so got a similar aged Honda CR-V). I will never go away from Hondas after my experience with my civic tourer/estate.
It has never missed a beat, has been serviced regularly and I have all receipts to prove. I have upgraded the rear springs to progressive springs. It has 3 modes of rear shock settings- normal, dynamic and comfort. I have also changed the front springs plus s few link arms, had the discs and pads regularly changed, even had the brake fluid flushed and renewed. It has done a genuine 126000 mixed urban/rural miles. Most of the mileage has been motorway Swansea to Carmarthen journeys. MOTd recently and not driven much since then as I have the cr-v. It's such a practical small estate also - the rear seats fold totally flat and is wide enough to fit standard pallets in! I'll throw in the roof rack FOC. It has no spare tyre, it has some tyre goo and pump which is standard for this model I believe. The alloys are not perfect and the worst wheel is photographed.
I always let a diesel engine warm up and due to skiing trips in there car, always run my cars on winter/snow tyres. (They grip better in the wet weather even if they are a few decibels louder and slightly faster wearing than summer tyres).
I got it remapped soon after I bought it. It was averaging 53mpg before I got it remapped and it has now averaged 56mpg since it's birth. It's 160bhp and has the standard eco. button/mode that is standard with this model.
If I was to keep this car, the only thing I'd look into changing is the front shocks as they've never been changed, they aren't knocking (and no MOT advisory) but I know it would make it feel a bit tighter. It has a few minor scratches that I've had a quote of 180 to fix.
I guess for a car of this age and mileage it is in it's expected condition. The drivers seat has signs of wear but all in all the blank leather seats are still great. One of the tyres seems to let a bit of pressure out as every 6 months or so the pressure deflation system lets me know and I simple pump it hard again. Front heated seats, sat nav etc. It's been professionally valeted too.
My asking price is open to offers. There are similar dealership cars for several thousand more. This sale is SOLD as SEEN but is a genuine wonderful car with no known issues. Ideally bank transfer, no time wasters or silly offers please.
