Pointers to keep in mind
Once the desired engine type is decided upon, certain others pointers need to be considered while buying a used Honda Civic. Though the condition of the car does depend on how old is the car or how it has been maintained, one should always check whether its safety features are in place. Items such as timing belt and water pump should be checked thoroughly as replacing them would prove to be a costly affair. Another feature one needs to inspect upon is the wear and tear of the CV (constant velocity) joints and boots.
These help in turning the front tires. If dirt has entered into the CV because of ripped boots, it needs to be replaced. Avoid the undue expenses by checking in advance. The front shocks fitted with Mc Phearson suspension should be tested thoroughly.

While there are number of outlets selling used cars, there are myriad online websites offering the same services at your convenience. It is always better to do homework upon the car you decide before finally going to any of the sellers to get a test drive and actual feel of the car.
