Post DO you have alot of miles?

Hey everyone!
i wanted to get some opinions on buying a higher mileage s2k
around 70k-90k years 01-03

for everyone who has had high miles what have u had to change, anything gone wrong?

my dad has a civic with alot of miles and so far he basically has changed the complete cooling system, and same with my mom and her high mileage vehicle lol

is the s2k any different.

if i were to get one with higher miles id get a extended warranty , covering everything. lol

i eventually plan on saving up and building the engine to supercharge it


basically is the s2k a problem at all with high miles?


i appreciate all the help i get! hope to come out to some meets soon

That's a pretty wide range you're able to spend. W/ almost 20k you don't need to worry too much about high mileage.

You can easily find an 04-05 with under 30K miles between $18K-$20K.

yeah i could find one like that, but if i can find one for 9k cheaper, and it will be just as reliable.. why not? haha

it would be about 150 difference each month between the two.

I have an 03 with 93k.. no problems so far.. ive changed all the fluids on time.. alignment once a year.. and had the front brake pads swapped and the rotors resurfaced.. aside from all that, nothing major.
