Is this car a good car?

http://houston.craigslist.org/car/496659681.html I am thinking about buying this car for myself. Does it have too many miles on it? I just want it to get me from point A to B. I don't care about reselling it. I plan to have it for a while.

Thats alot of miles what do they want for it?
It really seems like it is going to depend on the mileage. Get the VIN and pull a Carfax report on it and take it to a mechanic and have them look it over for any body or mechanical issues. If it is below 100,000 miles and checks out then it is a good car for Point A to B stuff. If it is above 100,000 miles then you should offer about $1500-2000 depending on what the mechanic says.
That's a good price. I would have it checked out by a mechanic before buying it.
For the year, that seems like a pretty decent car.
That seems like a good car. Maybe a little too many miles but hey if u like it go for it. Just dont forget to get a Carfax. It helps a lot!. We almost bought a car then we got a carfax and found out it was wrecked twice
Well considering that it clearly states that you need to use premium gas with it and all you want is a daily driver. I wouldn't get it. Also DSM cars have horrible reliability with there engines and that engine has been modified and probably beaten on at some point. But if you really want it go drive it around and bring a rag with you check the oil and other fluids. Also pull the oil cap off and stick you hand over the top of it. If it sucks it down then it good. If it blows oil on to your hand then there is blow by and has some seal issues and just walk away.
On nada and kbb it doesn't value this car at $3000. at excellent condition. If this car hasn't had all the main maintance on it like the timing belt it's not cheap. And with that many miles it's probably been driven fast
IT LOOKS GOOD BUT THAT'S IT. THESE VEHICLE WERE NOT A GOOD VEHICLE WHEN THEY WERE MADE BECAUSE OF MANY ISSUES AND AFTER THAT MANY MILES AND THAT COLD AIR TUBE, I WOULD SAY THAT IT MAY NOT MAKE IT FROM POINT A TO B. ALSO THE PRICE IS FOR THE NICE PAINT JOB AND WHEELS BUT WOULD ONLY BE WORTH ABOUT $1800.00.
