Thats pretty good, especially for a honda. I bought a nissan sentra ser spec v (nearly identical to civic) with 150k miles on it. If the car runs good, then buy it. Expect to do some maintenance though, because at that mileage there will be stuff that needs to be replaced. A month after I bought my sentra I had to replace the rear shocks and have my brakes done. Now it drives great and I'm very happy.

If the car seems healthy, go for it. With proper maintenance you will easily get 200k out of it. Expect to pay some $$ to fix all the accumulated problems, then fix things as they come. Do it OP

You can find something better like a gti. Look on craigslist.

DON'T DO IT OP THATS WAYYY TOO OVERPRICED. I bought my spec v for literally half that price, and it outpreforms the civic on basically every test.

Find a car that isn't priced on memes (like all hondas/toyotas) and you will get way more performance/reliability for your shekels

150k aint bad if they took care of it.

Had an 06 Si myself and at 100k miles i took apart the top end and it looked practically brand new.
Used one of them snake penis cams to inspect the cylinders and it looked great as well.

Regular maintenance and not driving it like a highschool fuckboy goes a long way... it's a honda after all

>over priced

>spec v outperforms

OP last year I got an 08 civic si coupe for $5k with 126k miles and this is california's SF bay where the rice tax is strongest.
make sure the struts have been replaced. That one is white so it didn't have the paint recall mine had which the PO never took advantage of so now I have shitty paint.

And give this car a really good inspection. The internals are almost bulletproof but the car is bought by boiracers that break shit.

Do you really wanna pay 6.5k for slow and overpriced fwd garbage? If you don't like driving, get a base model and save yourself a couple grand.

Hey /o/ sorry to ask this here but I didn't want to make a new thread.

Is 200k too much mileage for a VW GTI?

The one I'm looking at is a 2000 mk4 vr6.

Thanks in advance.

No no no.

VR6 will be expensive to fix as theres two seperate rows of cylinders.

200k miles is also a hell of a lot for a 17 year old car.

Euro will be expensive to fix outside of Europe if that applies to you. I would only own one if I lived in Europe.

Volkswagens reliability is pretty sub par compared to the likes of Japanese engines.

Damn that's a shame. I was really looking forward to it. Thanks for the advice though.

>200k miles
>17 years
>12k miles per year

that's not that much

Cars like this are usually treated like shit so be careful.
