mileage

I'm currently looking at a 02 civic and it has 170,000 miles on it. Seems to run and drive great. But hesitant. Is that high miles for this? $4200

Re: mileage

With proper maintenance, a Honda could probably last for double that.
$4200 is a bit on the high end with that many miles to it.

I would try to see if the owner has a maintenance log for it to see how well it's been taken care of first and see if the proper scheduled maintenance is up to date.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: mileage

Prepurchase inspection. Preferably by a specialist.

Re: mileage - What do you think

I'm looking at a 2000 Civic for a 16 Year Old Young Lady - has 261,000 on it. Was owned by a local mechanic for his wife. Seems quite nice for the $2K asking. What does anyone think about the mileage? The only thing that is hard to think about.

Nice body, no rust, everything operational.

What does anyone think about the mileage?
How fast does it use oil?
Is your child going to learn how to check and top off the oil regularly, or will someone pay "the tax"?
