Too many Kilometers on a 2004 Honda Civic?

I'm looking at one listed for $3500, but it has 221000 Kilometers on it(Approx 137000 Miles.

Worthy purchase for a first car, or no?

Added (1). Comes inspected, no rust, looks like it's in excellent condition from the pictures I've seen.

First, look up the real world value via www.kbb.com and www.nadaguides.com. Second, you MUST have this vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic. A compression test on the engine should be included. Third, look at the service records from previous owners. If you do not have access to previous owners, copy down the VIN number and visit a Honda dealership service department and ask to see the service history back when the car was new and under warranty. You are looking to see if the car was serviced properly for the first 50K of it's life and if it's been in for any repeated issues.

If the car checks out, no reason not to buy it. If it's got stories or things don't add up, find another Honda Civic. There's millions of em out there.

Worth getting it checked by a mechanic at least.

If it's been well maintained it could do a lot more kms yet.

At that price range you are going to have to compromise a bit. The car is going to be older, higher ks, or have issues. Trick is to find one that's still in good condition. Lots of Civics get over 300,000 ks

I can only speak for the UK but have to say that a car like that with those miles would be worth something less than the equivalent of $1200 here so that sounds way too expensive.

Which 2004 Honda Civic? There were 4 trim lines available plus many options. Depending on how it's equipped the price could vary by as much as $2,000.

As a rule of thumb a Honda civic will run close to 300k miles that being said - examine the car for rust, I'm not talking surface rust - I'm talking thick flaking rust around mounts, exhaust, strut towers, brake components, etc. Civics will generally rust out before they stop running. Wad up a paper towel and dip one end into the oil fill opening (top of crankcase) and see what comes up on the towel - black and chunky or gooey is likely some sludge, dark or light oil - you are good to go.

I would go for it. Hondas run a very very long time and that's not expensive at all for a car with only 137k

A honda will run a very long time if you treat it right. Mine had over 269k on it before i sold it and id still have it if i had the money at that point to fix it.
