190k Miles on an 94 accord lx . I test drove it feels very good no problems. Wil it last. Is it worth the buy?

Question

I test drove it. feels very good.i found  no problems What do i look for. I looked under the hood at the condition and all hoses and even engine looked good. looks very well maintained. I am worried about its high mileage though. Will 190K be a problem. I didnt even find or hear a jump in the transmission. Felt amazing. I wouldnt of believed the miles if i didnt see it. Is it gonna all go down hill from here. will it last. it can feel great now but can also go quick. I take care of my cars with regular maintenance. i dont want to waste my $ if this car is going to go bad on me. I am looking to get as many years possible out of the car without spending qlot of money. Help me out guys. 
 
THanks ALot!!

You didn't say how much they wanted for the car, so I can't say if it is a good buy or not.

As for the '94 Accord, I put 300k on one with very few issues.

The 4 cylinder is longer-lived than the 6 (assuming the main seal recall has been addressed). 

Don't be persuaded by a clean engine compartment and new hoses.  Most mechanics will do a pre-purchase inspection on a car for less than a hundred bucks... mine (in Tulsa, OK) charges $30.  Check the compression, scan the computer for codes, etc.

I loved my '94 and hope you can enjoy yours, once you do your homework.

I actually drive a 94 honda accord lx. I have 153,000 miles on the vehicle and have not had 1 problem. A friend of mine had the same vehicle with 175k and he was a racer, so he treated the car like junk...still had NO problems. My dad is a mechanic and he can't see when the car will EVER see problems. Most japanese imports are worth the buy. How much is it priced may I ask?  Hondas are good cars all around. As well as acura, same company.

that many miles on a 94 is a little high....but it is a Honda. keep the maintenance up and it should run for a long time. its not uncommon for a Honda to reach 300,000+ miles. if you think its in good condition and drives nicely i dont see why it wouldnt be a nice car. 

my parents have a 92 accord wagon w/ 220,000 miles and its still running strong.

hope this helps.

I rented an Accord with 295,000 miles.  The car drove like a charm but the cruise control stopped working on me.

Keep the car well maintained and you will make it to 295,000 and possibly beyond.

accords are good cars, my  friend had one with 210,000 on it n he took real good care of it, plus it wasnt all that bad on the whole speed factor for a 4 cyl, i looked around and some ppl have them with over 300 thou miles on the odo, so if u take care of it will run like a beatle, so my guess is buy.
