seems like a good deal..its a manual trans so you should be good...the 98-02 accord auto transmissions were terrible...
its got right under 108k, so make sure that the t-belt and seals have been done, or as they will need to been done.

Yeah I asked him if water pump and timing belt were done. Also about brakes tires and the such. He hasnt got back to me yet. And I know how the usual upkeep is. My 01 Civic had allmost 200k on it and still ran like the day we bought it.
