2008 honda cr-v ex or 2004 cr-v lx?
Currently living far from home and don't have my dad around who is great at these things. Because he is ill I can't ask him so hoping someone here can give me an honest answer. I want to purchase my first car, something used and have been wanting a CR-V. I only have about 6,800 to work with. In my town I have located 2. The 2008 ex is my price but has 200k miles on it. I haven't seen in person only by photos which looks in good shape. The 2004 lx has 100k but same price nice body well taken care of. I guess I'm wondering which one is the better deal? Its hard for me to understand why a 4 year difference would be same price? Forgive me for not being able to figure this out but I'm not a car person and really want to make the best selection.
The Honda CRV is a dependable vehicle that, if taken care of, will easily last 200,000 miles. But saying that 200,000 miles is allot of miles for any car. There's no way I would purchase any car with that many miles on the odometer unless I could buy it dirt cheap. You really do not have much of a decision. Buy the 2004 and it will last you another 100,000 miles. The 2004 with these miles has a retail value of around $7,650 and a 2008 EX with 200,000 miles has a retail value of $11,150. So as you can see they do not have the same value. Ask yourself why are they selling the 2008 so cheap? The number one reason is that absolutely no one wants to buy a car with 200,000 miles on it. Or it can be there's something seriously wrong with the 2008. Can be a salvage tittle car which is what I would suspect. That means it was a total wreck and has been rebuilt. Forget the 2008 and have the 2004 inspected by a trusted mechanic before you even consider buying it.
The mileage is double on the newer one. Power trains have a finite life due to physics of metal and rubber. Then add in monetary value and it gets hard to pick a value. Without Dad, you should take each vehicle to your mechanic and pay for a used car check. The 04 had issues with the AC compressor imploding but that is all I know about those two.

- I just bought a 2004 Honda Jazz Manual. When I make a turn it squeals? I just bought a 2004 Honda Jazz Manual. When I make a turn it squeals. When I switch the air con off the squeal stops but sometimes it goes away when I change gear even if the air con is switched on. The squeal lasts about 5 to 8 seconds depending on whether I change gears, switch the aircon off or restart the engine. Does anyone know what the problem is here? I'm guessing it could be the serpentine belt.
