Default Should I buy a 2003 Honda Accord with 105,000 miles on it?

They are asking $9750 for it. It is loaded with sunroof, alloy wheels, leather, etc.

Assuming that it's from 2002 when the 2003 model year came out, that would be 15,000 miles a year which is to be expected. Unless there's indications that it's been mistreated, it should be fine. Honda's can last a long time, my Acura has 177,000 miles on it and it's still running fine.

One thing to be aware of - at 105 K miles either the timing belt has been replaced or it needs to be replaced. If the seller does not have a receipt for the replacement the car is worth about $500 less.

If you are wondering what the value of the car is go to www.kbb.com. And I would ask for the maintenance records. The timing belt should be replaced at this point and replacing one can cost nearly $1000.00

Sure if you really like it. But keep looking, you can find better for less.
