How Much Should I Pay: 1999 Honda Civic
Question: I am looking to buy a 1999 Honda SI with 120,000 miles, leather interior, abs, alarm, tinted windows for $6000.00. Is this a good price?
Queen of the Road: Hi there. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
For a 1999 Honda Civic Coupe SI 5Spd with 120,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $6,000 (being in above average condition) to $4,500 (being in average condition) and $3,000 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $3,700 to $7,000. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
