Would you purchase a '96 teg with high mileage? Help!

For a car with that sort of mileage its important that the timing belt is replaced.. you stated it was which is a plus.

Because if the timing belt goes on a honda..or acura in your case (I'm Australian ) then you're in a world of hurt.

As Surferman stated, take it for a testdrive and make sure you look, listen and feel for anything that could be wrong with the car. My car is a 94 integra with 160k Kilometres on the odometer, but because I bought it off my uncle who I know took great care of it, I could afford to trust his judgement.. suss the dude out a little - if he looks a bit dodgy take it into consideration.

Well as said above, Honda's are known for working even after the 200,000 mile mark so you'd be pretty good, I mean if things come to worse, you can always engine swap if you into that stuff. Judging from the pictures he's taken a lot of care of it so I don't see why not? For 3k? Maybe you can try lowering it a little?

Yeah I would pay on it I bought my 94 teg with 206,000 miles for 1700 cash, but expect the car to have a few problems.I took mine on as a project becuase there was some rust and it was donated by the cancer society so All the high mileage maintence wasnt recorded. But You only have 1 life to live and learn so im not complaining

I had a DA with 317k miles and it ran great. I even traded the motor out of it for parts and the kid called me up to ask if there really was 317k on the motor because it ran like a dream.
