Replying to: 01civic (Dec 30, 2008 3:08 pm) My rust problem on my 2001 Civic was nearly 2 years ago. The warranty had just run out by a couple months when the I found the problem. I lost my respect with Honda because the way I was treated. My persistence paid off by getting Honda to pay for half of the repair. The drivers side door was replace and my share of the cost was around $400. I kept this car immaculate. To this day I still have bad feelings towards Honda. I still feel they should have paid for the whole thing. To help you with your problem, don't bother going to Honda. Body shops don't fix rust anymore. The defective part is normally replaced. See if you can find a good body shop. If your mechanically inclined, find a replacement at a salvage yard. Good luck.

we are thinking buying a civic, we can get a used 07 for 15,500EX or a new 09 EX for 18,624, interest rated for new 3.9% thru honda or 4.9% used at credit union. We are in need of a car in next week or so, do you think we should wait and see what interest rates do? going up vs if down if we wait any month which is better to buy a car in? thanks DK
