hmm 90k miles.
it has an intake, so the previous owner at least got on it once to hear the vtec w/ the intake.
but i mean the miles are the main thing. 90k is quite a bit.

90 is considered high? i wasnt sure cuz carfax said that it was average for the year. what mileage range should i look in? and how much should i expect to pay reasonably?
