Honestly,the 2005. High mileage don't mean a thing. The CR-V has a timing chain instead of a timing belt. I am a true believer of timing chain cars,they last long. I own a 97 T-bird with 120,000 miles on it and have no problems. My 96 Ford Explorer had over 300,000 miles on it,sold it because of high gas prices. My 84 Mustang had 180,000 miles on it, sold it because I got my wife a diamond ring. And my 2003 CR-V has 33,000 miles on it, bought it last year for $13,500. Working at an Acura dealership has its benefits.
