Depending how long he is over here renting one might be an easier option and can be had for around 20 bucks a day

Might be best to avoid these cars, you might end up with a bomb, they have expensive to fix idle problems.

cheap older civic

since when! Air flow meters are not all that common to go, its just that there are literally thousands of cars out there so a weakness is going to show up every now and then. Hardly a reason to avoid, and its not really an expensive fix, free if you know what you doing.

its only the n15 pulsar with throttle body air flow meter (ga15de) that seems to have this issue anyway.
