The thing is he bought his car at 76k which means the owner got rid of the car for a reason, generally cause it needs work. It may not have a problem, but maintenance items are the same no matter brand car. A car with 76K is going to need brakes, maybe tires, timing change soon (90-97 is done at 90K), and possibly other minor things like plugs, wires, cap, rotor. The nice thing about Hondas is that usually this is all you need to do to get the car to run another 76K.

imo, one of the best things to do is look at the paint and interior of the car. Usually a person who takes care of these things takes care of the stuff under the hood too.
