If it is well cared for and priced right, these are great vehicles. Honda's in general will go >200k miles with little trouble so long as you change tranny fluid, radiator coolant and oil regularly and timing belts at 90-100k mile intervals. The interior will wear out befor ethe drivetrain does!Astrobuf

These cars will easily see 400k miles on them as long as they are properly maintained.

If taken care of properly, not abused it should last alot longer than 200K miles.

Any car maintained right will last 200k+ miles. Acura and Hondas even more so. Depends on how much it was cared for.

it'll work, but i don't recommend it because cars tend to have a few problems over the 100k mark. If you don't know how well it has been maintained then it would be a little bit risky

i had a '91 integra LS I sold many years back with 270k miles and the buyer came back to me telling me the engine and transmission ran great. I changed the oil religiously @ 3000-3500 mi. never gave me any problems only thing i did was the required maintenance.
