Hi all, I am planning to buy a used 2007 Honda CR-V EX Sport Utility 4D car with 195k miles on it and I wanted to seek your suggestion. The car is well-maintained by the owner who owned the vehicle for the last 8 years and she provides me with relevant paperwork. Carfax shows no accident but a "damage" and the owner explained it as deer hitting the right back side of the car and leaving a baseball size dent. She later took care of it and it was reported as damage to the carfax.
Other than that, the car seems very clear, both inside and outside, and the lady owning the vehicle is a professional who I felt like I can trust(although obviously I am not solely relying on interpersonal trust). She took care of AC long ago and changed the starter and battery recently. She asked for $4300 and we agreed to $3800.
Would you suggest me to get into such a deal? I am somewhat aware of the potential problems of high mileage cars but this car seems to be well maintained and the price seemed good to me. Plus, CR-V is a good car for my type of person who likes going camping, fishing etc. However, I am a grad student and don't have too much money to spend on a second car if this one turns out bad. I would be very grateful for your suggestions.
Thanks!
