so my friends has a 2003 hch1 hes trying to sell me. it does have the check engine and ima light. he said it still runs great. he said it came on after the update and been driving with it on a couple years with no problems. he said honda dealer said all was well with batterys ect. it has 220k miles on it. its the cvt/automatic one. I took it for a lil spend around the block and felt good. on dash it says its getting 43.1 mpg but recently read mpg in dash isnt accurate he also said he gets over 500miles on a tank of gas.
so should i buy it for $1000 compared to what im spending now on gas it would pay for itself within 5 months or so. it seems like a no brainer? other then check and ima light nothing is wrong with it. my friends he feels comfortable driving it anywhere! he bought it with 130k in 2011 and hasnt had one problem with it!
