seems a bit pricy especially for the year and mileage and it's a CX too.......if you're going to buy that, check out the rust spots first

seriously bro, i would jump on that deal. take it form me, i am also in socal, and was in the market for a 92-95 CX for months. i know what its like. nothing is wrong with the CX model, that one even has A/C, and original owner. check out the car, it might be ****, you never know.

The engine is not the only thing that wears out with miles. My car is almost at 200k and it is a nightmare trying to chase down all the little chassis problems that come past 150k.

no my brother just bought a crx that had fairly high miles on it, but the original owner had every reciept for the car from day one, even the quote on the borchure form 91. I would just take it to the honda dealership and have them check it out. Let them do one of those 500 point inspections.
