Here, so us yanks can understand

98 Camry, 87k miles, $9100 (I'm surpised at the CAD exchange rate now)
99 Civic, 47k miles, $9100

I guess it depends on how much you value the extra room in the Camry. Also, condition is a factor and by the looks of it it seems as though the Camry is in excellent condition. My wife drove a Civic hatchback while we were in Japan and I was extremely happy with it overall. It rode and drove nice, fantastic gas mileage, fantastic reliability, decent options, plenty of room for a small car. I'd go for the Civic if it were me, but I'd also try to get that price down a bit.

really theyre both great family cars, the camry does have more room though. what kinda civic is it? sedan, coupe, hb? and what kind of camry 4cyl or v6? they will both serve you well so id go with the one you find more astetically pleasing.

It depends what you want really..

The camry doesn't save as much gas, but it DOES have a lot more room, much more refined, and catches less attention. Just from experience, i'd say the camry. My parents just bought me a 2006 civic EX sedan, and although i'm grateful to them for buying it for me, it is nowhere even close to being as refined as a toyota camry
