Honda Car Forum

So I'm looking to buy my first car. I want an older one so it's cheap, but a somewhat cool looking one too.I saw an Acura Vigor in town. It's pretty awsome, with pretty much power everything, and it's in good shape too.But then I saw on the odometer that it has near to 220k miles on it! I looked it up all over the internet and the Vigor is supposedly a really good car that doesn't die so easily. But is this still way too many miles?Thanks!

Acura's are awesome cars. But with high mileage, there is no way of knowing unless there are complete maint. records. Any car can have high mileage as long as they are taken care of. I bought a Jaguar for a really good deal that only had 70,000 miles on it to find out that the person really didn't take good care of it and had to put a lot of money into it. On the other hand, my husband sold an Eclipse last year that had 250,000 mile on it and he took great care of it so it was an awesome deal. The person who bought it put it over 300,000 and ended up wrecking it. The only reason it stopped. Our current Acrua has 200,000 miles and runs like new, but we keep up with the maint.

It's Japanese. 220k is nothin for a Japanese car. A domestic would be on its second motor rebuild.

i have the same car. this is the best car i have owned and i am getting another one if i find one in good condition. i can tell you that this car will LAST. i have 343k on mine and its on original engine. its a very nice rare car and is very quick too.

what they didnt tell you is how much its going to cost to maintainplus the parts are not the easiest to find...its a nice car with an inline 5 cylinder but after 175k it starts to get leakyi have had 6 honda/acura products and would recommend an accord or an integra,

u can rebuild engine get it for like 1k or 1.5k

+1 on Accord or Integra. There are tons of them out there that will have less mileage on them. Not to mention the availability of parts is rediculously higher than the Vigor.

I will agree that they are nice cars, but I don't think that, as a first car, it is the best pick.
