I see a bunch of complaints on here about gearing being too sporty.

Yet another HX! Single owner, 204,000 miles! $3,000: [sold]

1997 Honda Civic HX

I might look at that one first just because it is closest, but discounting the automatic and the one with hopefully minor damage, it also has the lowest asking price, but all things being equal, I would rather pay $500 more for 50,000 miles less.

Should I look at all of them and see if anyone else makes an offer while I am driving around?

Silver was pretty popular, or maybe it is just Arizona.
