Used Honda Civic for Sale in Chicago, IL

I think this car is great. I get unbelievable gas mileage. It is small and easily parkable and drivable. I would highly recommend it. It is great for trying to parallel park in the city. It is not the most stylish car I ever owned, but I don't need style. There is no rust which is great, and it has never been in an accident. The interior is detaching from the ceiling a bit but its hanging in there. Overall, it looks like an old car and acts like an old car, but drives great, and gets great mileage, and is super practical.

I hadn't had a car, by choice, since 2004. But when I started doing handyman jobs a year ago I knew a vehicle of some kind would be a necessity. I went with an older model Honda Civic hatchback because 1) Hondas are reliable, even old Hondas if they were properly maintained 2) mine had been properly maintained 3) good fuel economy 4) good trade off between available cargo space and a vehicle size; it's easier to park a smaller car in a crowded city like Chicago. It's been exactly what I wanted and needed: a workhorse Nugget: the owner knocked $200 off the price because a previous owner gave the car a camouflage paint job, which most potential buyers found unattractive. However, the painter hadn't sanded off the original silver-gray paint before applying it, so paint thinner, elbow grease, and a few months of persistence were enough to get it off again.
