Would you buy a used Civic EX Coupe with 59K miles, 14 inch Honda alloy wheels, gold pkg, in spectacular (cosmetic) condition?

If so, how much would you pay?

What goes wrong first with these cars? What should I look for when inspecting it?

Miles are supposed to be hwy miles from the south (Tennessee).

2 owner car.

run a carfax on it. just because there's a lot of milage, it doesn't mean the car is bad. maybe the owner took good care of it. my friend's 94 TT supra has 100k+ miles and it's still in more than good condition[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i think 59 is a lot for a used car try looking for some thing in the 20's 30's. i hear that the car performce the best at around 30- to 40k. but if u do buy it.. run a VIN check and see the history

who were the previous owners? Were there any teenagers driving the car? If so, obviously the car was driven hard, and problems are most likely going to arise
