how about u run a carfax n the vin #. a car can look and feel new for a while. a 96 accord n good condition and with a new engine, u better double the price. my 96 accord has 75kmiles and i get over 6k for it anytime. some ppl run back the engine or whatever and bring the miles to zero. also transmission and cluth are some other things that need to b replace soon or later, all depends how the person drive and maintain the car. btw make sure all vin # are correct/same if diff then u need proof that engine is urs etc.... a friend got a civic good price low miles but had stolen engine, found out when he went to register the car and was too late the guy was gone with the cash.
