I'll try to keep it short. Not a car guy AT ALL (want to learn all about Civics, but currently don't even know how to change the oil). But went ahead and bought a 2014 Honda Civic 4D Sedan LX. Nice car, I love it, clean record, no major repairs, only 25k miles. Gets about 33 MPG.
However, kinda made the purchase when I couldn't afford it, and now stuck with a $252/month payment for the next 63 months.
I understand that 6th gen Civics seem to be highly sought after. Thinking about trying to sell my Civic for about $15k or so, and use the difference between that and my payoff ($13.5k) to buy a 6th gen Civic.
Would this be advised against? Are newer Civics as durable as older ones? Will I be able to squeeze out 300,000+ miles in my 2014 like I could with a '97?
I'm trying to lower my monthly obligations now, but my girlfriend fears that a '97 Civic with 130k miles, for example, might not even last us 5 years (I drive about 25k per year).
Thoughts? Just trying to get the opinions of people in the Civic community, as the only thing I'm absolutely certain about is that I want my car to be a Civic.
