Pricing help EX-T

Hi all,

First time posting but have look thru some topics. Mainly to the reliability of both the EX and EX-T. Window shop online and manage to find both a 2017 EX and 2016 EX-T around the $14,000. EX has around 76,XXX miles and EX-T has around 60,000 miles. EX online pricing shows $14,888 and EX-T at $14,000. Of course, the EX-T has more options I want and not exactly needed. So with the slightly lower in pricing of the EX-T that's what I'm aiming for right now. Only concern was the color which is the Burgundy Night Pearl with the Ivory interior. Haven't seen the car yet, so can't really say I like it or hate it, but I'm leaning towards not liking the color. Contact the dealership about the car and offered $12,800. They counter with $13,250+tax/fee. It's within the range of what I'm looking for and willing to pay. However, I don't do good in barging. And am wondering if this is a good/decent deal. I'm within the KBB price range and is below the typical price. Anything else I should look for? Only noticed the issues of the wheel bearing and possibly the fuel dilution issues on the turbo engine. So will try to see if I hear any grinding noice on the wheel and any smell of fuel. Aside from that, I'm clueless on what else to check.

Thanks for looking and chiming in.

Regards Ken, hopefully to a soon to be Civic EX-T owner.

BTW, I'm located in SF, California. So I'm pretty sure just my location itself raised the price/value of the car.

For whatever it is worth, I recently assisted with the sale of a 2017 EX-T 6MT with 71,000 miles. It sold for $15,000 in the Southern US.

Price is on the low side. Make sure it has clean carfax. Check every inch of the paint closeup to make sure there's no paper-sanding marks. Stand back and make sure the paint matches from panel to panel (from different angles). Check engine bay for oil leaks. Test drive.

Burgundy Night Pearl looks almost like black, so if you don't like black cars, it's a no-go.

Low as in good deal for the buyer (me)? Carfax provided online is clean and no damage or accident reported. Although what I found interesting was that the dealer also had a '17 EX-T sightly less miles on it but had accident reported with airbag deploying listing for more than the '16. I'll be sure to check out for paint damage and oil leaks. I'm perfectly fine with a black car. Would go with the common color of black, white, silver and gray.
