I had purchasd a 86 Honda civic in College . It had 127k when I bought it.At first I drove it real careful......after a while i started driving it harder and harder. It would chirp the tires sometimes into third gear. You just have to make sure they dont smoke when they first start up and the previous owner / owners have some service records.
It was a great car .....I sold it to a friend with 145k....no problems ..........he sold it to an ex- girlfriend with 160k. Believe it or not I saw the car about a year ago in Tuc still going . The car had to have had at least 250k on it ........true story...........
