2008 CRV EX from dealer with no history except the fact it has a clear title, looks like it's had good care, 161K miles for $8999. what should I be looking for besides the air conditioning.

Forgot to mention my other choice is a 2002 ex with 100k for $7400 with no known history, condition being the same which would you most likely consider

Sorry forgot another question. As far as the air cond failing is it more of a question as to when or if?

That's a lot of money for an 08' with that mileage. Now the mileage should not be a huge problem because if taken care of the CRV should last well over 200k. I am turning 100k now and not one issue other than fluids and brakes. What does the interior look like? I think he might be $1500-$2k high. Try Cars.com for a decent used.

161k is not too much if well maintained. see if any wear and tear items need to be changed i.e. brakes, tires, suspension, drive belt, etc. based on that you can negotiate price.

For that price it's too high. Try and get them to come down a bit.

Kelly blue book shows that price is right if in good condition. Hondas really hold their value.

That seems steep for the mileage.

This one is too old, other components will start going bc of age.

I had issues with my 07 CRV this past summer, 100K on it.
