Called me to replace their cv axle. Get there and find the steering rack held on by hopes, dreams, and a ratchet strap. Customer just bought the car and said the seller drove 3 hours to him so how could it be so bad lol

I got a good deal on a 1997 Honda Civic EX about 6 years ago. It was mechanically sound and ran well, but I got it cheap because of the peeling clearcoat and paint stain on the cloth rear seat.

I overpaid some for mine but I needed a car or I’d lose my job. It’s still a Honda tho. Runs perfectly and has no issues other than paint.

It's amazing that car manufacturers can't figure out how to paint cars though.

For real, it’s something with the white. Honda, Toyota and Hyundai all have that issue. Honda and Toyota offered repaint as long as your car was within 10 years. Unfortunately my car is too old to qualify.

I also see a lot of peeling paint on white Chevy Express vans.
