Default NEED ADVIDE! Want to buy a 98 Civic EX with 105,000 miles on it for $6,400. Good idea or bad??

Im kind of concerned that it may not last because it has a rather high mileage. I would be buying it from a dealer and trading in my 02 Cavalier with 80,000 miles to put towards it. I have seen the carfax report on this Civic, there has only been 1 owner of the vehichle and it has no major issues (according to the carfax report).But I dont know if I should be doing this. I really want the Civic. It looks really nice--it was obviously taken well care of by the previous and only owner. So, for 6400 is this a deal? Im worried that if I do buy it the timing belt could go at any time--I have no way of telling if it has baan changed before. I also dont know a whole lot about cars anyways, so I really am in need of some fruitful advice. Everyone tells me that it isnt unusual for a Civic to last up to 250,000 miles without major problems. II need real, professional, and non-biased advice, please!.

That's too much money. I'd say $4500 at the most.

All these honda sellers LOVE to skyrocket the price because of the typical idea that people have about honda's being the most reliable cars on earth. The truth is, they're not the most reliable and have their problems like all other cars. the price? waaaaay too much. I wouldn't give more then $3000 for it.
