My friend bought her GORGEOUS 2005 w/130k for 5.5k. It looked fantastic, new brakes and rear shocks, premium sound in it. Everything together and a good battery. I'll be honest, I was a little jelly. I found 4 that are .5k under your goal for initial price, and 5 at or below the price of that Civic. Keep in mind, autotrader prices are inflated by at least 10%. Sometimes they are almost 2 times higher.

Look for Insights at dealers. They usually have no clue what is there, and the resources to get underneath, read codes, so on. It depends on worth it.

A red sun beat 2000 with mix matched panels, not stock and worn tires, not even rims, missing underbody panels, bad battery, and throwing codes- not really.

A 2006 in Midnight with brand new RE92s, everything there and attached, no issues- a lot more.
