Though you'd be surprised with how much a honda engine can take before calling it quits.
Yeah, sorry about the lack of details. I just picked it up last night and I don't know much about cars, and he doesn't know the history of the car either. So maybe the better question I should ask is, what should I look for as indicators as to the condition of the vehicle? Are there some tests I could do myself, or that I should go and get done on the car? Thanks again for the answers.
