Only kicker is the odometer, which reads around 440,000 km. Seems concerning, but I’ve seen quite a bit of these cars being sold with the same or close the same kms on them. ...
Looks pretty clean from the outside, given the price, age, and where in the world it lives. What is the evidence that he has been on top of maintenance? Carfax type report, receipts, or his word?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
