My first car was a 84 civic stick shift for $400 it had 250,000 miles on it when I got it. I had it for 4 years and it was the best little car I ever had in my life. It never once broke down. When we sold it to my dad it had 307,000 somthing miles on it and he drove it back and forth every day to work until he used it as a partial down payment on his truck. He said when he traded it in it had over 350,000 miles on it. I would still have it now but my husband wanted to get me a newer car so he got me a 97 accord. I miss my little blue rust bucket.
