find a good honda mechanic to help you look over the car before you buy it.

if you cant get a mechanic do at least a compression check that way you know if your going to be getting a bum engine or not.

Make sure you knock on the fenders and parts of the body to make sure some parts aren't bonded up and that it all sounds the same and it does leak oil from the seals and from the valve cover and from the tranny and that the tranny doesn't feel sluggish or grinding in any gear!
