Looking at an '09 RL - loaded with SH-AWD, nav, etc.

Pluses: Dealer Certified, good condition, only asking $21,900, which seems really low (how bad do these things depreciate?) 1 local owner, clean carfax, etc.

Minuses: 75,000 miles on it. That's a lot. I'll do 15k a year, but plan to keep car more than 5 years. Also, realitvely speaking, RL's gulp gas.

Assuming I want to keep the car 5 years or more, are the high miles in just 3 years a risk? If I could get them down to under 20K that would seem to be an incredible value, yes?

 

the high miles makes it having a low price, but it's usually easy highway miles (i really doubt it was a pizza delivery guy racing around town)

I value high mileage cars in a short period because it's a great deal for the money, and since Honda/acura keep their body rigidity and tightness with a reliable + low repair cost, you get great bang for the buck.
