But I also wouldn't buy a car with 150k miles on it. Agree there has to be other options. Are there cars besides Civics you can look at? Corollas? |

I drive a 2002 Civic with 130k miles on it. We don't put a lot of miles on each year. At this point, it seems like it may last forever. We've replaced tires, struts and clutch (it's a manual). But if the 2004 has had a look over by a mechanic, I'd go with that.
And if she's going to be driving locally, I'd think it'd last her quite awhile. Civic don't just stop working because they are a few years older. They can easily run for 200k+ miles. So I'd go low mileage. |

| How much are they selling the cars for? Thinking of selling my 2013 CRV with 80k miles on it |

+1. 2004 is out of the question. Even if it was parked in an indoor garage all this time, weather elements and time do their work irrespective. The 2010 is also old, I have a 2008 car also with less than 100K on it, and 2 years make a huge difference. If you can go with 2012 or slightly more recent, go for that. |

| 2010. The rubber seals and similar all age due to time, not mileage. |
