Default Considering purchase of a high mileage'r

So I don't have a manual for an integra because I don't have an integra yet. I'm looking at one that has a very mint body, but the downside is the car's got 153,000 miles.

I know this is sky high, but I don't have very many options (hard to find some in the northwest area)

What kind of maintenence am I going to be faced with for buying a car with this high of miles?

How well do integras do with high miles?

Any help is appreciated... Thanks

the typical belt and water pump, sensors. an easy way to check the motor is a compression test and try some high rpm shifts into 3rd gear if its 5spd. i would be worried about the body mostly but u said it was mint. that's not really THAT high for a honda motor..for me atleast lol if the motor's good just give it a tune up and it should be good to ya

Fo sho. Seriously if the car is taken care of you have NO worries. Just the normal maintence if you were to buy it. How much is the person asking for it?
