    Used Honda Civic review: 2000-2006
    By Graham Smith · 10 October 2017
    The seventh gen Honda Civic was more staid than sporty compared to its forebears, but remained a popular small car, with front-wheel drive and five seats. A sound choice if you buy one in top shape.

    Repair my Civic or sell?
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 11 December 2015

    If you only had to spend $452 on repairs over the 12 years you've owned your car you've had a very good run out of it. You really need to decide if you're going to keep it or not. If you're going to keep it get the dents knocked out and tidy it up. If you're going to move it on don't bother. A dealer won't give you any more for it if it was undented than he would if it has a few bumps and scrapes. Given its age it's probably best to trade it in on a new car.

    Honda Civic timing belt
    Answered by Graham Smith · 5 April 2012

    A belt sitting in a dealer's warehouse isn't subjected to the stresses and strains of a belt that's in your car, so it wouldn't be unserviceable as you contend. Belts do deteriorate in the rather harsh environment that they are subjected to, be it with kays done or time, so I wouldn't question the need to change the belt when it's advised. Ignore it and you're taking a risk of severely damaging your engine.
