Default Should I buy or not

I'm going to look at a 99 accord vtech tmrw. It has 240xxx miles on it. They want 2400 for it. I'll find out tmrw what's been replaced. Should I go check it out or not even waste my time. My biggest things is the miles since they are so high. How much longer will it last if I do buy it. Thanks for your answers

it depends if you have the time and money to possibly do some sort of swap to it. I was in the same situation and didn't have time for an entire swap basically so I went with the newer less miles deal. But paid a lot more.... And I'm obsessed with KBB. Look up what that is saying for the stock good condition price and go from there.

uhm, from personal experience on other types of cars try to keep it stock if you can, but somethings you just have to replace certain parts to keep it going.. ie possibly new tranny if its MT, cause we all know how some people can just rag em like no other, simple things like gaskets and what not I would recommend too....
But then again it might be a lucky find and it still runs like a charm.

Yea it is a auto. N yea hopefully they changed the timing. Also since it's not a stick hopefully they didn't dog out the automatic

I'll report back on it when im doing checking it out. Hopefully no hard shifting n no weird sounds. I guess it's really 50/50.
