Title basically says it. I have found an MY00 with 65K miles on it for under $20K that is right near my home. It includes an extended warranty. I know the mileage is high, but it is a honda. Would you consider it? Thanks!

YES if selling for $18K make sure it shows clear title...

The seller says the title is clear; obviously I'd double check that before tossing him a check. He *claims* that it has been in one minor fender bender in which only the front bumper was replaced. I've got an appointment to go check it out tomorrow.

*also, what, in particular, should I take a look at tomorrow when I see the car?

If you're willing to sell for the price that I found this one, I'd jump on it. Unfortunately, I'm dictated pretty heavily by my price range. I saw your ebay ad though. Your car looks beautiful!

No problem. I can finance you through my dealership if you need it. Either way, best of luck to you.

Have the car looked at by a good mechanic. It will be well worth the small cost. Make sure the car has no mods. Look at who owned it and how it was driven. There are huge differences in how hard these cars are driven depending on the owner. I would not touch a car with that milege owned by someone under 30 with lots of mods. I friend just bought a used S out of Florida from a 45 year old woman. She did not even know what V-Tec was and was shocked when he demo'd it for her. She said she had never had the car above 5000 PRM. Those are the cars you want to find. He payed 23,500 for a 2001 with 19,000 miles and the original tires still with good tread. How the car was treated by the original owner is very important. The last thing you want is a car with 100 7k clutch drops and more time in VTec then out of it!
