I bought a used 2009 w/11,233 miles. Real garage queen, the clutch fluid, brake fluid, were clear. We went over it with a fine tooth comb in our shop and couldn't find a single nut or bolt that had ever been turned. Carfax was clean (I know doesn't ALWAYS mean clean).
So far only had to pull the Steering lock fuse, other than that I'm happy. Normally I don't buy used but getting Touring / Sport new was WAAAYYY out of my budget. Plus I got a standard to boot. Original tires, the plastic was still on the pedals... Happy!
Of course I had to wait forever to find the right one. Actually I found it by accident at the Honda stealership when I picked up my daughter after she dropped her car off for oil change. I've been a Honda guy for 10 years now.
After we scoped out the car, another couple older than me were looking/test driving the car, the guy was way tall with a huge beer gut, totally out of shape, don't know how long he could get in and out of it without serious difficulty. I told my daughter, I'll see you later, haha. She laughed and left, she knew how long I'd been looking for just that car.
If you look at my previous posts, I've told this story at least 100 times, haha!
