Yeah. I bought a used Honda Civic. It had 38K miles on it. I did replace the battery - $140 with a 3-year unconditional warranty and 7-year pro-rated warranty, and oil changes - $50 including tire rotation and that's it. My last oil change was a year ago and it's about due for another. The parts are universally available, dirt cheap, capable mechanics abound, and the insurance is super cheap. It's the way to go for me.


If you are concerned about part and maintenance costs, then a car favored by tuners is a pretty good bet for repair. Its amazing the amount of parts you can get for the Honda Civic.

Given some of the manufactures are starting to sell crate electric motors, I am a lot more interested in the Ford F-150 Lightning and anything Honda builds than Tesla given the repair stories of time and expense.
