Default buying a CRX with 300,000km?

I posted about my CRX which was wrecked beyond repair, go check it out...feel my pain https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1199566
Anyways im ready for another one I need one BADLY just to have it sitting in the garage so i can move the engine and parts over at least.
Im thinking about getting one for cheap and fixing it up. Its imposible to find one with low mileage some have 300000km and rust. But other than rust does high mileage weaken the solid feel of the car will i be sorry if i buy a car with very high mileage? I bought my first CRX over 4 years ago paid $5000 it was mint.
What should i look out for now?

if by feel you mean suspension related, just go aftermarket shocks and spring, get some nice energy suspension bushings (the make lots for EF's) and you can get a nice tight feel to ANY crx.

a clean oem style car is nice, but give me a shitty looking one with all suspension aftermarket that wins at auto-x anyday.

higher milage means more to fix sometimes, but your swapping an engine in anyway, suspension for our cars has great aftermarket support.

hell you can even swap in a suspension from an ITR, then use those aftermarket parts, plus bomb *** 5 lug.

the possibilities are endless.

dont lose hope. sorry about your car.
