$3000cdn. Keep in mind cars are cheaper in the US. Its not a super awesome deal, but its the exact make & model I'm after.

It depends on who rebuilt it.
And maybe whether they rebuilt it for themselves or just to get it passable enough to sell.

97 blue Honda Civic EX, 4 door, 155,000 kms, no accidents, 2nd owner, no rust, Aircared until 2012. Power windows, power locks, power steering, AC, cruise control, air bags, tilt steering. Great commuter car.... excellent on gas. Original owner's son was a mechanic and maintained the car well. Regular oil changes. Since purchasing in 2007 I have replaced the timing belt, both drive shafts, O2 sensor, both brake cylinders... receipts available. New tires purchased approx. 10,000 kms ago. I am only selling because I need something larger with 2 kids.
This is just the type of car I look for. The owner was meticulous about doing the routine maintenance (particularly the oil changes) and even keeps receipts. The work done already (timing belt, both drive shafts, O2 sensor, both brake cylinders) is no real concern because these are all parts that one expects to replace on a car with this mileage.
Provided the car runs the way it's supposed to and there is nothing else wrong with it you should next see if the price is reasonable.
