Can't decide : Older Black Civic vs Younger Silver Civic
Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying my first Civic, I can't decide whether to buy a Black Civic 2001 with 75,000 miles on the clock, or a 2003 Silver Civic with 60,000 miles on the clock. The only difference in price is £500 ($1000) more for the Silver one, so the price isn't really a factor considering it's a younger Civic.
They're both in great condition, and although I really wanted my first Civic to be black as I wanted to put a standard spoiler on it and nice alloys and think they'd look better on a black car, but the silver one is a bargain really being so much newer for only a small price increase.
Please help me decide !

If you plan on daily driving it with minimal mods, go for the "younger" one.
However, if you want to mod the motor for bigger numbers, I wouldnt go with either of them. The d17 is like the redheaded step child of Honda motors..
unless of course you're referring to the Si model, in which case I would revert back to my first sentence

Hi, thanks for the response.
The younger one is this one : the "1.4i e"
I'd like to lightly body mod it, i.e. new alloys and maybe a stock spoiler of some sort, and maybe some skirts at some point, but I dont want to do anything to the engine. The most I'd modify it apart from appearance mods would be a better panel filter and possibly exhaust at some point.

id presonaly go for the black one, colour isnt really a massive factor when i buy a car, but black is my fav. colour for a car, and silver is my least fav. do both cars have the same options? elec windows, power steering etc? maybe that could help you decide
