Ive seen rsx and ep3's with over 180k already. Still run great. Since your buying so cheap, you can ALWAYS throw in another a2 or even a k20a when your motor finally gives(Well over 200k in most cases)

your straight with a high mileaged honda motor...i boosted a 205,000 single cam, and beat the **** out of it. Not to mention it was a greddy kit running on a horrible fmu and no other type of management. It lasted me a good year

130k is nothing for a late model Honda. I'd definitely get a report on it and actually look it the unibody, subframe (and bolts), etc. That price is very fishy.

$7k for an Rsx S with 130k on it...I'm willing to bet there's something wrong with it...Just because carfax says its ok...may just mean accident wasn't reported and repaired out of pocket...Definately get a frame tech to look at it thoroughly. Compression test will be a good idea as well.

He's insinuating that the car's price is so low because it's stolen.

Looks like a good deal. I wouldn't expect a stock 02' Type-S with over 100k miles to be too much more than that. Great find. Hope everything works out and the vehicle is sound.
