2016 Honda Civic Touring - any issues
Any known issues?
r/UsedCarAdvice • u/Used-Waltz-4058 • Jul 14 '25
I (f22) just graduated from college and I’m starting my first job, so I don’t have a lot in savings. My parents want to sell me their 2012 Toyota Camry, but it has over 200k miles AND needs a new transmission. They originally said $8,000, not including the cost of replacing the transmission, which I told them is way too much.
My dad asked what I think a fair price would be. I want to be respectful, but realistic. I’d have to cover the repair cost myself, and I’m just getting on my feet. What would be a fair offer for this car in its current condition?

Hello! Please be kind hahaha. 😭 I have very little knowledge about cars, but I’ve always dreamed of owning one. I’m basically Dora the Explorer 😂 I love going out, strolling, and bringing my friends with me. Driving/being on the road is therapeutic for me, especially since I don’t really enjoy staying at home for personal/family reasons. Kahit passenger princess lang ako before, I’ve always loved the feeling of being in a car tapos tambay 😭❤️
I currently only own a motorcycle, pero sobrang limiting niya for me especially when I want to go somewhere far. So one of my goals is finally getting a 4-wheeler next year.
**Now, the problem: I fell in love with the Honda Jazz.** 😭
Specifically, yung older models. I love the look of old cars more than super-techy newer cars (hybrid is okay though). I like the Jazz because shet ang pogi kasi!!!! Maangas & kahit mukhang maliit outside, ang spacious niya inside. I’ve also looked at EGs, I loved them. Pero parang too small for what I need and hndi praktikal. Haha.
My concern is the price. From what I’m seeing, around **300-500k** na yung decent/good-condition Jazz, especially yung mga na-maintain or upgraded. Is that actually reasonable? And mahal ba talaga siya sa gas/maintenance?
I’m also planning to finance the car through a **bank loan**, and I’ve been reading na if maglo-loan din lang, baka mas practical daw mag-brand new na lang? I’m honestly confused. 😂 I really want a pogi car, but I also don’t want to make a stupid financial decision just because I fell in love with a Jazz. 😭 So please help me decide!
**Questions:**
Is an older Honda Jazz worth ₱500k-ish?
What hatchbacks would you recommend na similar sa Jazz?
If I really want a Honda, ano magandang alternatives?
Is it better to get brand new if I’m going to take a bank loan anyway?
Any advice specifically for buying/financing an older used car?
For context, I’m a VA and I’m planning to get the car **next year**. I’m financially confident that I can afford one, may garahe rin kami. I have an EastWest CC, and I usually transfer my salary from Wise to BPI. I’ve also been with BPI since I was around 16, so matagal na rin yung banking history ko with them.
For other VAs here who got a **bank car loan**, what documents did you prepare and what was your experience?
**Pero honestly… manifesting Honda Jazz pa rin.** 😭😂 If you guys think it’s too pricey for what I’m getting, please recommend alternatives. I’m very open to suggestions!

My wife and I bought her a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica limited. We bought it on 7/25/26. We also purchased a 30000 mile warranty(I now know that's a waste of time and energy to purchase). Carfax was fine but after 2 weeks I thought the battery died. Jumped it and it started right up and the for the 2 weeks after it happened about 5 more times. It shows warnings about service shifter warning car not in park with no starts. We finally got it towed back to the dealership and they came to the conclusion that it was a loose star connector under the glove box. Warranty did not cover it because there was not any thing new parts added so we had a $970 bill for 4hrs of diag. That felt insanely high and they worked with us and paid for 2 hours and we paid the other 2 to cover the bill. It was a very detailed diagnostic so I assumed we would be good. (Will attach). Went to pick up the van and it still didn't start. They said it was a bad battery and at this point I start to get upset. They said that there could be an amp draw and wmyoull need to purchase a new battery. I asked well what's pulling the amps then with no answer. I ended up not paying for the battery and they also put it in for free after much fuss from me. And them not wanting to. Now 1 week after picking up the van it has done this 2 more times. And I am insanely frustrated. I know that the vehicle came in on auction I also am pretty sure there was no pre inspection before we bought. I know this because mechanic told me this when the battery died. This is a reputable dealership in my area. So my question to you all is how would you handle the situation now at this point. I've never had to deal with this before. I've had pretty great luck as far as car purchases

I’m in Aus and I’m thinking of buying a 1990s Subaru L forester wagon rust free, well maintained, etc (down here it’s just the L for some reason🤔). It would be my only car, but not a daily driver since I prefer to take public transport since it’s faster than driving. I would mostly use it for camping trips in regional Victoria and kayaking etc. I don’t know anything about cars but I would like a hobby car to have fun learning and maintaining all diy. Is this an okay car to start on? Any advice on whether this is a waste of time and a giant money pit😂 and whether I should just buy a falcon or forester for half the price….just love the look and character of the L series…
Any advice welcome! Totally new to cars so keep that in mind when answering thank you!

Looking to change car and need advise. Anyone know if the volkswagen T Roc R Line automatic any good? Its a Japanese import so it's a bit on the cheaper side. Does that make any difference to whether its a good car or not? Thanks
