SO im trying to buy a civic si for my first car.
I found one on craigslist and me and my dad went to check it out.
It has 130,000 miles with a clean title and new paint.
when i went to drive it i stalled the first time(clutch came out fast)...the owner said that the clutch was new and needed to be worn a little....
Then my dad drove it and had a hard time when he drove it (and he has been driving stick for 30 years) even the truck he drove there was stick......does it take getting used to or is something wrong with the car???
Also my dad saw that the headliner under the moon roof and on those mirror pull down things the fabric was a little torn...
My dad thinks the car has a leak or something in it but i dont know ?????
Also when you turn hard the body rubs against the car a little bit making ripples on the wheels...is that a problem?
And finally he thinks that the car is not safe....Is it safe???
Are these bad sign?
Should i avoid the car and keep searching?
thanks for reading..
