Default New. Advice needed.

Hello!

I am planning on buying my first car within the next couple months. I have been looking at a 2000 Honda Accord EX Sedan selling for almost $4,000. It got a new transmission in Nov. 2012, and it runs great except for making a clanking sound every so often (the owner is having this checked out by their mechanic for me), but otherwise has been very well taken care of. The only downside is that it already has 250k miles on it. Can I expect it to run any longer? Is it worth the price?

Thank you for your help!

I think it's a bit high, maybe selling for 3,000-3,500 if it was for sale around here. Things that add to the value would be "No rust" or "Leather Interior" "New Tires", "Recent Timing Belt with receipt"
Mine "Clanked" when there was a broken sway bar link, an easy fix.

I'm inclined to agree with MysticBlueEX; I'm thinking the price is an easy $1,000 high.
