Default buy or not to buy

im new to hondas, ive never owned one but ive been doing some research about them and im thinking about buying this honda and i think i could pick it up for about 5 grand so just let me know what you guys think, motor has about 60,000 miles,body 110,000miles, he did the swap 4000 miles ago, so it has a new clutch, water pump, the pully tensioner was changed to a manual one not sure why but he said it was better this is the cardomian website. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3096201

it looks clean to me, but i haven't seen it in person. So i have no idea how it drives. Just go see it test drive, ask if you can get on it look for any smoke, leaks, etc. Use good judgment because i didn't when i bought my civic but its fine cuz im swapping the motor out.

I sold my 90 Accord with an H22A in it with over 220k on it. Within the 3 years I had it, the main thing I had to change was the distributor. It's a Honda motor. If treated right, it will last longer than you will.
