Why are diesel civics cheap second hand, are the engines good? I seen a 05 1.7 cttdi in mint condition for 2,800 which is about the same as a few vectras ive seen but the civics i thought would be worth far more?

Why would you think that? Vectra is a bigger car after all, and the Civic is an 8 year old diesel shopping car. The 1.7ctdi used in those cars was made by Isuzu iirc.

Because Honda diesel engine aren't the best and a lot of people don't buy them so the prices drop.
