I'm planning to buy a Honda Civic 2006. It's our first time to buy a second-hand car. What are the things that should I check before closing the deal? Are there any issues with this model? Thanks in advance!

Honda civic 8th generation FD medyo madami sakit nyan but sure thing maporma yan kumpara sa ibang 06 model. Isa sa mga sakit nyan na alam ko ay the most notorious engine support may mga nagsasabi nga sa team FD na kung magpalit sila ng engine support nila parang nagpapa change oil lang, isa pa dyan ang auto-tensioner pero kung nakorek na ng previous na may-ari e siguro ok na un, wheel bearing kasama rin yun...Quote:

Thank you. Laking tulong nito. May mga napansin nga ako tulad nung moist on top of the headlights. Nakakapag taka kasi ang mura ng offer sakin, tapos binawasan pa nung nakipag negotiate ako.
