Honda CRV 2007 ES Petrol 149k miles??

[gman88667733]

Been offered the car in the title through work for £2500. It seems in good condition (haven't seen it in person yet) few dents, but nothing major. My concern is the mileage at 149k. Is that too much for a 2007 or is the engine going to carry on for years to come? We do about 15k miles a year. Not entirely sure about service history, but I know the current owner has done 25k in it in the past 4 years of ownership.
Assuming it has been serviced okay, is it worth that? Or do I offer lower? I was considering mk2s for around that price with about 120-135k miles on... But the MK3 seems a bit more swish inside.

I want a car that I can not worry about bills on really, I just want reliability.

Any advice?

Load space is important to us. We need space for a dog crate.
My preference is auto, but auto Honda's seem to go for more.
Won't a 3.0 lexus use a lot more fuel?

Essentially I want a car that I don't have to worry about, I just want to do regular servicing and add fuel and not worry

Is the Honda likely to be reliable? I hear a lot about honda petrols being rock solid and high mileage is nothing to worry about

[gman88667733]

Realistically, how much should I expect to pay for an EX with slightly less miles? Petrol or diesel really, but I expect petrol is more reliable.

[gman88667733]

Is it really worth paying the extra £3k over the one I'm looking at?

[gman88667733]

It has been serviced every year it turns out, apart from the past 2 services which were bi-yearly. So essentially a full history?
Surely that's worth £2.5k??

[gman88667733]

The spec doesn't bother me. As long as it has working air con and cruise control, I'm happy.

Haven't driven a manual Honda before, or a manual at all for a good while, so I am looking forward to it!
Going to see it next weekend, mainly due to the service history!

That sounds like more of an alignment issue to me. Easy enough to sort!

[gman88667733]

If it is a fairly common alignment issue, you will need to take it to a garage that can perform a 4 wheel alignment. Shouldn't cost too much.
Does it do it on all straight roads? Sometimes the camber in the road can be so slight that you can't see it, but is enough for the car to drift out of line.
If it pulls to the left (if you are in the UK) then I'd probably expect it is that.
Worth getting checked though

The seller has just got back to me and said that they now really need to get rid of the CRV as they have their new vehicle. I think he is willing to take £2k or less now. I haven't seen it yet still as the mileage worried me, but at that price....
Should I go see it?
