I went and looked at an 2002 rsx-s. The guy will sell it for 10,000 but the only thing is the milage. The car has 130,000 miles on it, which are from driving on the interstate. Is there anything i should know about buying a car with this much milage on it? Please give me some advice.

The price is more or less in line with private sale value. I wouldn't worry about the motor's integrity unless he modified it at all. Make sure the pads have meat, the battery and belts look good and do a little test drive clutch test. Make sure he has the radio code, too. If everything checks out and you like it, buy it. Good luck.

The car is completely stock. He put new brakes on it. And could you tell me more about this radio code.

It's a security code. Anytime you have to disconnect the battery (or whatever) you have to enter the code into the radio to be able to use it. Sometimes owners lose it and it can be a real pain in the ass to get the code. You can get it from the dealer for $. Shouldd be in the leather owner's binder on a small white card. No big deal- but will make your life easier.

Clutch ok?
