Been looking at Hondas lately, and am interested in the coveted V6/6 Speed combo. Unfortunately, most in the area are at or above 140K miles, some up to 200K miles. Most seem to be auction cars which means that history will be nil aside from an autocheck or carfax. With that in mind, what mileage should I be looking to stay under for

1. No history?
2. decent to good history?

 

Maybe it's your area. Depending on year, you should be able to find cars under 100K miles.

But 140K is not unusual, if one drives 15k+ miles a year.

Like any car, you should get what you are "comfortable" with in terms of age, mileage, and condition.

 

If you can find one with a documented timing belt change that would be a plus. The v6 still has a belt that is due every ~7 years or 100~120 K miles. If you can't get records of it being done, you "might" be able to use that as a "tool". Meaning, tell the seller that if it hasn't been done that you are taking ~$600 (? I do my own) off the price. That only means the money saved is then spent on getting it done.

 

I have an 2004 6speed im selling to get into a 4door.
