6th gen civic/winter car

Hey

I want to get another car this year for the winter and store mine. Ideally I would like to get a 6th gen civic but since I have never bought a used car before I'm kinda wondering what is considered alot of Miles (km)

I have only owned this 7th gen but from what I've read and heard Honda is very relaible so is 100,000 miles too many or what for a 6th gen civic. What should be my mileage threshold?

Comments?

Before I bought my 7th gen, I had a 5th gen civic. When I bought it, it had 145k miles on it. When I sold it 6 months ago it had 210k miles on it. The car is still running. As long as whoever had it before you took decent care of it (aka changed the oil every once in a while) it should be fine.

i think around 130k or lower should be fine. as long as the car dont look all beat up and abused. check to see what kind of maintanence they do on it. find one stock too if possible because most people like to run the sh*t out of their car if its fixed up

So I should check if they have any proof of the service done to the car.

Anyway here is a potential in my area

dont buy a car from the dealer.... buy it from a private seller who isnt making any money off you.
