No. IF it is taken care of. Change the oil on a regular basis, etc.

Depends on the price and how it has been looked after. Many owners of high mile cars get rid of them just before a major service is due to check for that as well as the condition of wear parts like tyres. Shocks, brakes etc

There are many running with 300,000 or 400,000 miles on them.

A 150,000 miles is a lot for any car. Depending on how well it was cared for will determine how good of shape its in. But this is when things start breaking and wearing out. I personally wouldnt buy it no matter how good it was cared for because things eventually wear out even with great care and this is the age it starts. If the price is good, have a mechanic look and see what is showing signs of wear and what might pop up. A compression test is a good indicator of engine health. Be weary though

It's not a lot for any car anymore - 25,000k is avg life expectancy - more for Hondas

This is around the point where things start to break and requiring replacing on a Civic. The definition of "a lot" will depend on how strong your resolve is to keep the car running rather than calling it quits.

It depends on how old the car is. Cars should average about 10,000 miles per year. If your Civic was built in 1991 or earlier, 150,000 miles is not too much.

Some people say to change the oil every 3000 miles. That's a good idea, but every 5000 miles (or every 6 months) is okay. The more you drive (or the harder you drive) the more you should change the oil. 5W-30 SAE motor oil is probably good for the Civic.

At 150,000 miles, you should also be concerned about other components such as brakes, bearings, axles, tires, shocks, and alignment.
