looking at a $3900 03 civic hybrid with 131K
the guy is selling it b/c after the car had been sitting for about 7-10 days the IMA and CEL came on when he first drove it again. the dealer recommended the IMA battery be replaced but he doesnt want to spend the money so he is selling it cheap.
i have read that i can get it repaired if it is the IMA battery for around $1200.
what i was wondering is can a low charge on the 12V battery cause those lights to come on? i'm hoping to get the specific codes it threw tomorrow. also i asked to drive it for a day to see if i can find out anything about it.
what can i check to see if the IMA is the problem? is the car a good deal at $3900? book value is close to $6000.
let me know what you think. i need a new car to replace my 09 F250 diesel that is getting 17 MPG for my new commute of 90 miles a day!
