A Honda doesn't need to be brand new to be a great purchase. One or two years old, same car pretty much. You've lost your 1150 just driving it off the lot.

But yeah, hondas will run forever.

Maybe. Or maybe not.

Maybe. Or maybe I have to spend more than $1150 in repairs. You know what? I don't have the time or patience to have my transportation be a freaking roulette spin every time I turn the key. I need my vehicle to reliably transport me to work so I can earn money, every day. Hoping that it will probably run pretty good :::fingers crossed::: is not good enough.

Maybe that previous owner, that nice older gentlemen, had a crackhead grandson who snuck the thing out and drove around in first gear all day. Who knows? "Good" cars aren't immune to shitty owners/borrowers.
