I would definitely consider buying it. I would love to find the same car I have now. I can't remember the series I have but it's a 1999 Civic and I am getting ready to turn 209,000. Runs great, its a manual and I get great mpg. I live in an area where they salt the roads in the winter, and it has very little rust. There is someone that parks in the same parking lot at my job that has one too. Same year, same color, auto transmission that is in mint condition. I don't think they have nearly the amount of miles that I do though.
