Any Caveats About The Front Suspension Of 2003 Sport?

[clarahiggerty]

I am considering purchasing the above car, but am wary about the service record that has front suspension looked at 7 times. Anyone know if this is a common problem in this model?

p.s. The price is $14k (Canadian) and the mileage is 108K. IT's the sporty model with spoiler, tinted windows, abs, bug flap, etc. Is this too expensive?

I'm a newbie; Civic Kindergarten student.

Tks.

The car mentioned in the above subject line. Actually, though, there was a typo and it is a 2002 Honda Civic LX.

I've never heard of any common problems with that model's front suspension, so you've got 2 ways to consider this... either the previous owner was a "problem customer," and kept bringing the car back because they imagined some noise, or something in the suspension was tweaked at the factory or during shipment and it will never be right again. regardless, $14000 cdn doesn't seem to be a screaming deal, so I'd walk away and find one without a questionable history. they shouldn't be hard to find up there.

I have the 03 Sport 4 door, paied $17,000 CDN with 58,000 KM on it...that price seems about right, Im not having any problems with my suspencion yet.
