I have a black 01 ex coupe. Other than being a reliable car, it is in an attractive color.

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 !

Is the newer silver onea coupe and the older black one a 5dr? If so, pick the one that you think will fit your needs the best (kids, tight parking, hauling big items, etc.)over the coming years. They're both pretty close in age, price,and mileage.

If they're the same bodystyle, get whichever one you'll still like to look at several years down the road.

Kommando, ur right the silver one is 3 door and the black one 5 door. I generally prefer 5 door cars, and the black one is a nicer colour. I test drove it last night and the engine sounds to me like a real pearler (very nice). It wasn't as exciting as the Type-R I drove at the weekend tho obviously !
