MIL has owned one since new, and is looking to get a new CRV. I've never been a fan of Honda's, nor automatics, and this one has both. But well maintained and all that. Might make a good first vehicle for my son, but unfortunately that is a good 2 years away... Wife wonders if I get rid of my Camry, take her Camry, and she drives this instead, then in two years she can get something else. I don't like that idea as this CRV only gets like 25mpg and I know my wife will hate the transmission, but we're pragmatic people. At the same time, her Camry is getting old and surely is getting to the point of being problematic.
[We'd give her whatever trade-in value is.]
Anyhow, I think it is around 120 to 150,000 miles on the clock, always garaged, and last time I looked it wasn't rusty underneath. What might be problem areas on this? If they are known for a/c problems that might be enough to sink the deal--wife won't put up with that. It does have AWD. And a six CD changer.
I don't know if I would want to buy it and sit on it for 2 years--driving occasionally that is--until my son is driving. That doesn't seem to make sense to me. It seems like it should make a nice runabout for the wife, and she did comment that it wasn't bad on the highway.
