Looking at buying a (Canadian) 98 Civic EX seden
I'm looking at buying a 98 EX 5 speed sedan that's for sale locally. $1500 OBO, it needs an upper control arm, axle shaft and a wheel bearing. It has 361000 kms (224300 miles), has working A/C, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, 2 real good winter tires on the front and an in-dash cd changer. I was thinking of offering $1200 for it. When I test drove it, the bad wheel bearing was real obvious, quite a loud road and the left-side outer CV joint was clicking on sharp turns. The Check Engine light and the SRS light is on in the dash. Would it be worth $1200? What engine does this have? Would it be the D16Y7 or Y8?

So I bought it today. Turns out it's an EX-G model. What's an EX-G? I can't seem to find too much info about it. The trouble codes that it had were for o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction, catalyst efficiency below threshold, and 2 codes (both identical) for evap system leak. I cleared the codes with my Innova code reader then started the car again. The o2 sensor heater circuit code comes up almost right away.

I am planning to buy a single owner 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan from a private party. The car has 72500 miles on it, but its clean one owner car. The tires are 2 years old and might need to be changed. We have kinda settled on 10300 as the price now. Is it a good deal?
