I bought my 4-door with similar options and similar wear for less than half of what you're asking. KBB has it listed as $3700 in fair condition (private party value). So don't expect more than $3000 - $3500 from someone who's hard up for a hatch, and no more than $2000 - $3000 from a more informed buyer...

Most people dont understand that 200,000 isnt too bad for a honda. Just people on the board so good luck

Mine has 277k on it. His car isn't worth anywhere near $4800.

That's 100% subjective.

I've seen plenty of domestics [yes, cry me a river] last longer than that and I've seen plenty of hondas die quicker than that.

It's all how the car is taken care of 'n ****, what kind of miles, etc.

Syndacate is quite right. I bought a junkyard motor with about 70 thousand on it, threw a rod through it 3 months later.

1. It was a junkyard motor, so who knows
2. I was pretty hard on it

That motor could have lasted a lot longer if it wasn't in my hands at the time

I'd say it's a little high also...but you never know. Look around how much they sell for.
