A 19-year-old says the used Honda Civic he thought was a bargain could now cost nearly three times what he paid to get it road-ready.
Matthew Snapp (@matthewsnapp1) shared the surprise repair estimate in a recent TikTok.
Snapp said he bought a 2007 Honda Civic on Facebook Marketplace for $3,200. The car had 155,000 miles and, at first glance, appeared to check the right boxes.
“Seemed like a great deal,” he says. “Clean title and everything.”
He says he took the Civic to a dealership for the inspection required to register it. Snapp said he expected the car might need some work—but not the bill he received.
