    Yesterday I finalized my purchase from Carvana, and waiting to see if my Tuesday delivery can be moved up to today. I am moving to a 2016 Honda Civic Touring with 8364 miles on it. I have thoroughly enjoyed the gas savings for the last 3 years. I drive 2-3K miles a month and was looking for something with a little more pep and all the tech goodies. I did consider a 2017 Prius Four but fell in love with the Civic after driving a brand new Honda Insight which I almost bought. With only 1 child in the car most times since 2 of them drive already, the Civic is a good choice for us. Plus we still are rocking our 2015 Lexus CT200H. I really appreciate all the help over the last few years. Be good guys!

    I like the new Civics! That's definitely something I would consider when it comes time for me to start looking . Check and make sure the engine doesn't have the oil dilution problem. The '16 and newer Civics and '17 and new CR-V's with the 1.5L turbo engines have that problem. Our '17 CR-V doesn't have that problem but check your oil often.

    Had to push the delivery back to next Tuesday due to having to go out of town for work. I have been researching all known issues with the 2016 Civic. I have 7 days to decide to keep the 2016. I can return and get a newer model with a few more miles if need be. Drove a 2019 Civic Touring and they drive and handle very well.

    You key in all the information and they give you an offer before they see it. Then when they do the delivery of your new vehicle, they verify that you did not lie about the condition of the trade.

    Here are the offers I received:

    Tameron Honda - $6000
    Donohoo Auto - $7000
    Carmax - $8000
    Vroom - $8000
    Carvana - $9200

    So far so good. Have driven about 2000 miles and have been checking the oil 3 minutes after shutting down the engine. No issues thus far
