Any problems I should look for in a high mileage 2002 Honda CR-V EX?

I'm looking to buy one which has 240,000 miles from a used car dealer. He said he replaced the timing belt, and that it's been well-maintained. I've read that the A/C compressor fails hard, and that I should see if it's been recently changed. Other than seeing if it has a detailed service record and seeing if it's had strictly Honda fluids, is there anything else I should look for? He s asking for $3.5k, which is $300 under kbb price. Is it worth pursuing, even at 240,000 miles, or am I likely looking at a lemon?

That's a but load of miles, even for a Honda.

You need to demand the dealer allows you to have a full inspection performed by an certified independent mechanic of your choice. That's a must.

Hondas are good cars and can rack up high mileages. But there's a limit and that car is nudging it. If I were you I would keep looking unless you are 100% sure the car is ok after a long test drive.

  • I'm buying a bike/scooter 125cc, what would be considered high or low mileage? I'm looking to purchase a Honda CBF, Honda CBR, Aprilla RS, Yamaha YBR or Yamaha YZF… Any recommendations? Anyway, to the main point! I was wondering what a high mileage for a 125cc scooter/motorbike would be? And how old of a mototbike I should get? I understand that it depends on how the person has looked after the bike etc however, what would be considered a high mileage, low mileage and medium mileage?
  • What is a good mileage to look for in a Honda Civic, Scion xB, and Toyota Prius to be used for a few years without too many problems? I'm looking at the above mentioned cars to be used for 1-3 years, but I do not know the mileage to look for. I d like to know the milage lifetime for each car mentioned, and approximately at how many miles the car will survive without having consistent problems. If you could give me the answer for each kind of car, or even one of them it would be greatly appreciated.
  • Is 190560 miles on a 98 Honda civic lx considered high mileage? My sister gave me her civic and it runs great. There's hasn't been major problems since I've had it, other than the coil. With the right amout of money it was an easy fix. I've been wanting to change the oil but the guy at Wal-Mart suggested that I use the high mileage oil. I don't think it'll really hurt my car at any rate but is my car really high mileage?
  • How to trust a cars mileage when unplugging the speed sensor stops the mileage from ticking? My speedometer just went out and I noticed the mileage stopped tacking. I did some research and found I just need to replace the sensor. Then after a few youtube videos, I realized that anyone could just unplug the sensor and drive 100k miles, plug it back in, and sell it for a good price. Is there a way to check the history of a cars driving without mileage add-on through its computer to avoid buying from a liar? I'm referring to 1998 honda civics.
