The main reasons I bought the Civic is that it looked like it was pampered. The body was in great shape. And the interior was spotless. But after all the trouble I had with it, I think the odometer had been turned back. Obviously I can't prove it, but that's my guess. It was just a lemon, and the dealer (Lynch Chevrolet, Burlington Wisconsin) was a &^%$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] For comparison, after the Civic, I bought a 1981 Ford Fairmont wagon with 120,000 miles. It had 182,000 when I sold it three years later. While a little under powered with the six cylinder, it never gave me any problems. Then I bought a brand new, 1989 Mercury Tracer. Drove it 10 years and put on 186,000 miles. The only thing I ever replaced, other than normal maintenance items, was a leaky valve cover gasket. Loved that car, but I just wore it out. The '99 Escort I have now isn't nearly as good. (Though it ain't bad.)

It wasn't back then, but it is now!
