2002 RSX Type S, 150k kms, $11kCAD
I’m 18 years old, my old civic just blew a coilover and tie rods are cooked, I wanted something new already though. Have \\\~$12k CAD once I sell my old shitbox looking to buy a car for commuting 86km on highway to work everyday but have the option to carpool too so I it’s not really everyday, but I love cars and want something that I enjoy/is fun, will last, and I can put time and love into. Even if I’m budgeting heavily in uni in the future want to still be able to drive and hopefully just have to do oil changes + brakes, etc. (regular maintenance).
Really want an RSX type S or 8th gen civic si but the market is rough. This rsx type S was listed for $15k CAD but guy said he’d drop to 11k after everyone telling him it’s too high.
Modified quite extensively and while I would much rather have one stock if it’s been done well and will still be reliable I don’t mind. What do you guys think? Worth it or I should keep looking? Do need to buy a car though in the coming week or so there was a good deal on a base 2007 civic with 118k kms too but wouldn’t make me nearly as happy.
Update: I bought a carfax report cause the seller didn’t want to spend the money…
Registered with normal branding, clean title but car was in 1 minor collision in 2003 another in 2004, vandalized with a 3k claim in 2003,
Theft of auto claim for $0 in 2015 but the cars not declared stolen at least currently, and a comprehensive claim for $0 in 2020
But worst of all,
In 2010 the odometer read 152,999k kms at NAPA AUTOPRO GAP Automotive
In 2015 the vehicle odometer read 192,799k kms at jiffy Lube
And counting how many times it says new owner reported on the carfax it says 13, with this guy owning it since May 10, 2026
What the fuck
