1995 Honda Engine Replacement Question

If the used engine really has 60K miles, I would buy it. You are unlikely to buy a decent replacement car for $1000. Have you verified the engine mileage? If you have the VIN of the car, you can run a carfax report and verify the actual mileage (the last time I checked a used engine’s mileage, the actual was more than twice what was claimed by the seller).
