I had a FWD civic as my last car, made it to 200k and I sold it for only $500 less than I paid, 4 years and 90k later.... loved it, except in the snow it was AWFUL. My first car was a cadillac Eldorado and that was a great FWD snow car -- if it started to slide, it slide straight.... the civic - the instant it broke free it was sideways.
I'm fine with getting a bit older and those miles - I would plan on meeting the seller, hopefully they're just really old - then I would buy, if not, I would most likely pass.
Miles/Age in a foreign car don't really make me uneasy - the domestic ones (not to start a war - just that I've had two Hondas break 200k with no prolems and my Cadillic died at 125k and there were ****loads of other problems)
