Thumbs up 74,000miles on a 04?

Think I can get it for $13.500 Is it to much?
Is this mileage to high? Thanks.

Depends what happened. The internet can't help you with that.

My one reported accident was a minor bump in the rear that required the bumper to be repainted. Nothing big.

That is a good price! This is still a Honda so 74,000 isn't a huge deal. Mine has 52,000 and it's an '06 and still feels pretty new to me.

Have a mechanic check out the frame and what not to see if there was ever significant damage. If not, I'd say you're good to go!

That mileage just lets you know that they are driving it. That's not a bad thing in my book. I would prefer a higher mileage roadster with rough paint that has been on longer drives/commutes than a low mileage short commuter car. Just my opinion.

Take your time looking at the damage, it could be a bumper and maybe a bit of panel massaging, or worse than that. A little bit of fixing doesn't bother me, but non-oem paint tends to be less durable, so that can mean heart ache down the road and require a re-spray at some point. Best of luck.

I wouldn't worry too bad about mileage as long as the car is in good condition. I just picked up my 04 yesterday with 68k miles, and the car is in excellent condition. Interior/exterior/engine/transmission are all in awesome condition. Just my $0.02

my 04 has 40k on it, it is a second car, if it did not have a garage buddy it would be showing 70k easily.
