  1. it's an older model lots of miles and 5,000 way to high   it books way lower than that.. I wouldn't give that for it at all too much!!!!!


  2. no

  3. GO TO KELLYBLUEBOOK.COM

    its THE appraisal site. it will tell you EXACTLY how much the car is worth after you enter the info.

  4. Only if you get $4000 back in the glove box.

  5. If you really have to ask this question yes, buy it.  I'll see you on the side of the road, if you make it to the road...  I'll be the guy throwing my trash on you mistaking it for the biggest piece of c**p on the road.  I bought a 1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24 Convertible with 80,000 miles for $3,000.  Do the math.

    Not to mention those cars are born pieces of c**p.  Everywhere I go I see kids driving them and beating the h**l out of them.  Just the other day I saw a kid with a TURBO installed on his.  It smelled like it was about to blow up.  Good luck!

  6. I can buy a used 2005 chevy cobalt with 60,000 miles for $5,000. That it TOTALLY not worth it!

  7. That would be on the high, high end IF the car is in great shape.

    Do you really want to spend 5 large on ANY car with that many miles?

  8. no 220000 miles is basicly the end of its life

  9. wow. common sense dude. 220000 miles. they should pay you to take that peice of **** out of the driveway.

  10. No thats a total ripoff!?!

  11. no, i bought the same car with 180,000 and some rust for $1000.

    you can get a better deal.

  12. 500 maybe

  13. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

    VERY BAD DEAL...

    If you was going to spend 5 G's on that you might as well just buy a VERY VERY CHEAP Honda Ex- or CRX and swap motors on it to like an Integra Type-R motor (B18C5).

    If you like the power of VTEC. :D

    Or I suggest you but a 500 dollar cheap Honda and swap a new motor into it cost around 5G's depend which engine you buy.

  14. h**l Yea, But Need More Info, Like:

    Cylinder Size

    Engine Size

    and The Conditions.

  15. No I would not recommend it.

  16. TOO MANY KM for that price, and you do not want rust on the car. and chances of it passing the E-test might be pretty low.

    I would say NO SALE

  17. i wouldnt. i got a 2000 honda cr-v with like less than 160,000 with great ac and everything else awesome for that price. look harder for a better deal

    **edit** and i got it like in 2003

  18. I would say NO. Rust is hard to kill without replacing the entire piece that is rusted. I had a 93 Accord with rust. Decided to just sell it. Did you check Kelly Blue Book for the value? I think that is a little steep. Probably wouldn't go higher than $3500 if it were me. After all the car is over 10 years old. Good Luck with your decision!


  19. No. Absolutely don't, you must be out of your mind lol...

    Go with a honda prelude, you can get one with like 100k miles on it for that much, in good condition too.

  20. i think its a good idea as long as you would get some type of warranty on it because 220,000 means its been around, but your getting a great deal

  21. Not at all. I know Hondas are known to last long, but 220,000 Miles is really pushing it. Plus, you already have poor AC, that may just be the start of problems.

    In conclusion, your CR-V may be the same in reliability to a 2008 Land Rover Range Rover. Frankly, that is not a good thing.
