carbon fiber hood and rims are a bad sign. that means riceboy, which means beating on the car. i have 173k on my 95 LS, and you'd never know it when you drive the car. kartman is right about the diagnostic, but go to a HONDA/ACURA dealer, for best results. and also, if the owner doesn't have service records, don't believe him when he tells you what's been done. i don't care how much he spent on that tune-up, if he doesn't have paperwork, it doesn't count.
