Hello everyone!

I am considering a Honda Civic purchase, I want to eventually go 'aero' on it- but that is many years off, for now, I want to just be able to drive conservativley and coast a lot with a decent car- that will have good reliability for the next 10 years...

There is a guy offering a 2000 civic LX 5 speed with 85,000 miles on it.

A. Does this sound like a good price
B. What kind of mileage can I expect? -someone with experience?
C. Any other advice? this is my first car purchase, I've been driving my family's toyota tacoma, and I'm moving out

Thanks 1,000,000!
