my grandma gave me her old honda civic and it only has like 10k miles on it 😭 my dad keeps saying it’s a really good car but like... i cannot be seen driving this ancient thing πŸ’€

For me, this would be like winning the lottery.

That an Accord, not a Civic. Which implies the post is fake because if you got a car, you'd know what it was even without being a car person.

My wife had a 2000 Accord. I thought they were amazing based only on reputation. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. Transmission failed after 7 years. Changing the cabin air filter required dissembling the entire passenger side trim. An emissions sensor was buried down so deep you had to blind reach your arm into a crevice to reach. On my Sienna you didn't even need to get your hands dirty- It was front and center on top of the engine.

    10k on a civic is a new car. Unless it's from the 90s, but even then, enjoy your high efficiency privacy and at least 120k more miles of uninterrupted low maintenance.

    Dude cherish those cars. I have a 2011 Prius with 650k miles on it and I'm never letting this fucker go. I've already engine swapped once successfully.

    That style isn't even that old.

    They call it ancient but use the word β€œonly” for the mileage, I’m getting mixed signals

    Depending on how old it is, could be a nightmare of forgotten maintenance.

    Still an absolute steal as far as condition goes

    There's not that much maintenance that needs to be done at the 10k mile mark.
