I would be very skeptical on these low mileage cars. $5k is a lot of money for a 6th gen Civic. Low mileage doesn't always mean it's in good condition. I would rather buy a car with 150,000 miles that has been driven on the highway than one with 60,000 that has made nothing but short trips over it's lifespan. Make sure you check out the service history. The seller claims it has been maintained well, so they should have records to prove it. And make sure they have owned it for several years. Whenever I see someone that says "need to sell ASAP" it makes me nervous.
