That sounds like a good deal. The Kelley Blue Book on an '04 Civic hybrid with that mileage in good condition is $11,000http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?ManufacturerId=18&YearId=2004&V ehicleClass=UsedCar&VehicleId=2692&PriceType=Priva te+Party&ModelId=123&Mileage=137000&SelectionHisto ry=2692%7c6222%7c95605%7c0%7c0%7c&Condition=Good&Q uizConditions=So if it's in good condition and you can get it for $8,000, you're getting a good deal. The Civic hybrid is a very good car, so although it has a lot of miles, that's not a big concern. I would suggest that you get a mechanic to take a look at it to make sure it's in good mechanical condition, and if it is then go for it.
