Default Used 6th Gens

My civic finally died and I'm now looking for a 6th gen I4 accord. I've found two so far in my hood and I'm unsure of which to pick up. My options are a `98 with 100k (kinda high) for $9k, and a `99 with 50k for $13k, both of which I'm sure I could talk down from. The one with higher miles sounds tempting, considering it's in good shape, but what I'm wondering is if engines this high could handle boost or other such mods. I've noticed a few people around here have f22/23's with higher miles still running strong. I figure even if I get the 100k I could always just do suspension and other stuff now and drop an h22 into it later if there's problem. Any advice?

i'm running 10 lbs of boost and my motor has 97,000 miles. as long as it was taken care of it should be fine. H22 swap isnt as easy as 90-97 Accords

Those two are expensive. I can find a better deal, but then again, it depends on where you live.

Keep looking--
I've seen many a mint LX sedan with 5speed with under 40k selling for around $10k---If you haggle I'm sure you could score it for much less.

You're in a great possition Accords are everywhere just wait for the right one to come along.
