I am trying hard to get a Honda Civic 1.8 SE in Black. Dealer prices are horrendous and as I have tried some brokers, who sell them a bit cheaper they seem to be continuously "OUT OF STOCK" I do have a part Ex to consider as per my name. Can anyone really help :confused::confused: :beer:

    How old do you want it?
    Or more to the point How much do you want to spend?
    Maximum mileage?

    Or do you want new?

    How about a 1 year old from auction? Manufacturers guarantee left to run.
    If so where do you live and which branches of this place are you willing to go to?

    Bear in mind you are travelling with the intent of purchase and return (unless you pay for delivery) so you have to take someone with you. And when you travel and don't win the bidding the journey is wasted. So you have to say which branches you are willing to go to and be prepared to come back emptyhanded.

    Thanks VB I did look at drivethe deal but they will not part ex according to their ad and your right with my name I should think of a TS 2 which I had in the past, I swopped it as I felt it had no guts and now have a 2.0 Sport. The Civic appeals in power/size/practicality ;)

    thanks Wig, I am trying to afford new/delivery mileage. When I started trawling for this car I went National (Am in Cambridgeshire) but many of the ads seem to dry up or sold out. Even Honda Kettering have been advertising the model I am keen on (nothing special about the model you understand) but when I ring up, its an error in the print SO WHY LEAVE IT THERE..... I guess it was to try and sell something else, I got used to that lately. Not keen on BCA cos I want as new as I can get. But what is also relevant in this is my part x Mazda 2.0 Sport
