Well, I figure it's time to start a member journal!
I bought the foz february 24th 2013, which was quite serendipitous, my old civic was having many issues. I found the beloved foz on craigslist, while visiting my brother in Boise, listed for $4500, cash only. I texted the guy, who is also a college student, we met up an hour later, and took it for a test drive, I loved it. It had a few dings, a few very minor issues, but a very thorough maintenance record dating back ten years! I ended up paying $4000 for it, with 179350 on the ODO. :icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin: Quite a steal, I must say! :woohoo:
