It's in amazing condition though.(From what's shown).
It has less miles than alot of '08 vehicles.

Nice purchase.

I'm always leery of supposed low mileage Hondas with all the shenanigans that Honda dirtbags pull with swapped clusters. Hope he has documentation on the miles.

The body is clean ,straight,and low mileage. You should drive it till 200,xxx + then swap the motor.

its rare to find one under 100k miles.

All you need is a good detail on that paint and it will shine nicely.
