Mileage?

[mike]

Already posted on here that I am looking at buying an EK9 or DC2. I am looking at an 1999 civic with about 75k miles on the clock, does that seem high or is that around average?

Also I have looked at the used car buying guide from one of your members but was wondering what problems people had experienced when buying their cars and any warnings people might have?

Cheers,

Mike

thats a good mleage. 1999 -> 2008 = 9 years. 10000 miles is average mleage in the uk, so ...

Its high for an import, a bit low for a UK car.

My 99 B16A2 has about 27,000 more than that so I say it's pretty good. The 96 EJ6 chassis however has about 152,000 miles.

ma first civic had over 125k on the clock and it start first time all the time without fail

Before buying the car, check the motor compressions, or any trace of under body rust!
