Hello ...
I have a 2000 Honda Civic coupe -- automatic, non-power windows, non-power door locks. It has about 136,000 miles.
The body has some minor damage on the driver's side. The interior is not great cosmetically -- I mean, it's not a disaster, but it could definitely use a cleaning/detailing.
I have been very careful about maintenance. I had the car checked over yesterday and the mechanic told me it was in very good condition and he couldn't find anything that needed repair.
My mother has a 1999 Honda Civic four-door sedan -- automatic, power windows, power door locks. Although it is a year older than my Civic, it only has about 85,000 miles -- a little over 50,000 fewer miles than my car.
Her interior is in much more pristine condition than mine.
I had my mechanic check her car over. It needs to have the brake fluid flushed and it needs a muffler, but otherwise, he said it, too, is in very good condition.
My mother is no longer driving. I need to decide if I should keep my Civic or take hers instead.
Since they are both in good shape under the hood, should a deciding factor be that hers has about 50,000 fewer miles? Is that considered a significant difference?
Whichever car I keep, I intend to be driving it for some time, as I have no plans at this point to be purchasing a new car.
Many thanks for any advice.
