2003 Honda Civic – Only 132,000 KMs – Manual – Legendary Reliability
$7500 OBO – Priced to sell
Looking for a fuel-efficient, ultra-reliable vehicle that’s built to last? This is it.
✅ Low KM – Only 132,000 km
✅ Manual transmission – More control, better mileage
✅ New front tires, fresh oil change, full alignment just done on July 14, 2025
✅ Drives like a dream – tight, smooth, and responsive
This Civic has been extremely well cared for. It drives like a brand new vehicle it’s incredibly smooth and solid. Only 2 owners – the first was an older lady who put on 80,000 km, and I did the rest. I’m meticulous about my vehicles – just brought it to my mechanic to make sure it needs nothing and spent $600 to make sure everything is 100%.
Includes spare tire
Basic model – no A/C, manual windows. Less to break, easier to maintain.
⛽ Incredible on gas and known to run 400,000–500,000 km with regular maintenance.
️ There was a minor cosmetic bump on the front (headlight and bumper slightly affected) – purely visual, does not affect performance or safety. Also keep in mind there are random scuffs and scratches as the car is older. There are stains on the carpets, cup holder etc. Visually it has many little issues but mechanically it’s perfect and drives almost like a new car.
No lowballs – this car is mint mechanically and needs nothing. I just spent $600, so you don’t have to. You won’t find another Civic this clean mechanically with such low KM.
If you know Civics, you know these cars are bulletproof.
First serious buyer gets it.

For those who aren’t familiar why this car is so special
The 2003 Honda Civic Manual is widely considered one of the cheapest, most reliable vehicles to own and maintain in the world. Especially for its era, and especially if you’re looking purely at cost-per-mile and long-term durability.
✅ Why It Is One of the Cheapest Cars to Maintain:
1. Legendary Reliability
• The 2003 Honda Civic (especially the manual transmission model) has a reputation for lasting 400,000–500,000 km with basic maintenance.
• Fewer electronic systems = fewer things to break.
2. Manual Transmission = Fewer Headaches
• No automatic transmission issues (a common failure point in older cars).
• Clutch replacements are rare and relatively cheap if driven well.
3. Dirt-Cheap Parts
• Extremely high production volume = aftermarket parts are abundant and inexpensive.
• Tons of Civics in scrapyards = used parts are easy to source.
• Labor is typically easy and fast for mechanics due to familiarity and simplicity.
4. Great Fuel Economy
• Even by today’s standards, it gets 35–45 MPG (6.5–8.0 L/100km) if maintained well.
5. Minimal Tech
• No expensive infotainment systems, sensors, turbos, or fancy electronics to fail.
