Im trying to buy a used honda, but the ones i see in my price range have very high mileage on it, is this bad?

Question

I am a girl obviously and i am also a sophmore in college, but i do not know anything about cars. Can someone provide some insight on this for me?

Answer 1

I sell Honda Vehicles that have in excess of 150k Miles on a consistent basis....and as long as they have been maintained properly can and will last 150 K beyond that..

Personally, I still have my 94 EX Accord Coupe with 213k Miels on it...and it gets 35 MPG and runs/looks great..

Some of the main things to look for on a High-Milage Used Honda would be the Following:

Timing belt has been replaced...every 100-120k Miles

Engine Mounts / Ball Joints / Transmission / Regular oil changes performed

A/C Blows Cold

Other than that, make sure that the Body Panels still have the Original VIN Sticker on them and of course get a Carfax report....then you should be ok.

Get the right kind of Honda, and it will outlast many New cars that are on the road right now...

Answer 2

Hondas holdup well even with high mileage if properly maintained. Toyotas and Nissans as well.

Answer 3

Most hondas, if properly maintain, can last to more than 200,000 miles, even 300,000 miles.  Make sure the car is in good condition, use carfax, and make sure to get a mechanic to check the engine of the car, and the body.

Answer 4

I had a 2001 honda civic with 156000 miles on it.  Car drove great til it got smashed up. Never had a problem with it.  Hondas can go up to like 250,000.  I wouldnt worry bout it.
