Bought a lot of Honda's that were called demonstraters and they were, often having say 2K miles on the clock. But no problem huge saving and for us a new car.
Edit: they got the miles as they were used by the sales staff as well. But we got a run in car.
Then we moved on to buying two or three years old and that's been fine as well. Always dealt with a main agent and that paid off with this Civic as when we had it, it had a wander with the steering. In the end it was found to be a faulty electric motor on one side of the steering rack (that's how power steering is on these). Anyway they fixed it, no charge to us, and its been fine and accurate ever since. Was told that bill if not under warranty could have been a 'grand' to us which wouldn't have been grand at all !
Wonderful weather: Boy! so much wind and joy for windsurfers. Went today but gear too big for the conditions and 'ancients' and got hammered. But that's OK, not hurt, nothing broken and to have been is something.
