New Or Used 2010 Civic Coupe..

JD · 2010-09-27T02:17:07+00:00

I have a choice at the local dealership between a new or used Honda Civic Coupe LX. The three new ones have less than 10 miles but the used one only has 7,700 miles. The used one is about $1,000 less than the new ones. All four are gun metal gray with light gray interiors. The only difference is one is used.The dealership tells me the used one was purchased by one of their old salesmen that lives about 30 miles away so most of the 7,700 miles were what they're calling highway miles. His round trip to work was 60 miles a day. He sold it because his family got bigger and he purchased a Honda Fit.I don't have access to the Honda user's manual so I'm not familiar with their suggested break in routine. My concern is most of the miles during the break in period were probably highway miles.Do I save the $1,000 and take the used one or buy a new one and break it in my way? I generally follow the manufacturer's break in recommendations but push the car a little harder since I drive fast. All my new cars have been broken in this way and I've never had an engine problem.Should the dealership be offering the used one for a lower price?

"dealer cost"??? on a used car being sold by one of their sales dudes??? give me a break.

as to what is "a good price", do what i told you a couple of weeks ago and you'll find out. hint: ignore this "dealer cost" b.s. it's a fiction perpetrated on suckers. do your homework.
