Is it a good idea to buy a used Honda Civic with 125,000 miles? Advice?
It's on Craigslist. I've talked to the seller, and he says it's clean, spacious, runs like new, has a clean title, and is in excellent condition. 125k miles is not very many miles for a car that was built over 13 years ago. He wants to sell it for $4300, which is above the Kelly Blue Book value of $3600-$3800. I would like to pay no more than market price for it (preferably less).
I plan to test drive it and possibly have it inspected before purchasing, but I also do not want to pay above Blue Book value for it.
Any advice/suggestions about whether this would be a good investment? How long will a Honda Civic last me? And how could I haggle him down?

It's a 2001 Honda Civic LX.
