I bought my Civic about two years ago with 162,000 miles on it. Most people think you are nuts when you tell them you are buying a 10 year old car with that many miles on it for $4,500. Unless you have owned a Honda. My car is now at 232,000 miles and I JUST REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BATTERY. I drive it hard so the brakes get done every 20k miles or so but it still has all of the original parts from the factory (except battery). It still runs and drives like a new car. I wouldn't trade it for the world (maybe a new Civic Si...).
