i found some good deals on early 90's hondas. high mileage, but does mileage matter on a car? esp if its older?

On an older car, condition matters much more than mileage! If a car has been taken care of, 200,000 miles is very easy, and in some cases you can get 300,000 or more without many problems!
Have any car checked out by a qualified mechanic to be sure that it does not have major problems, and you may be able to get a good deal.

It depends on how high the mileage is and if the previous owner(s) took care of the car, correctly. Oddly, you picked one of the two brands I would more likely choose if I were going for a high mileage car: Honda or Toyota.
Good Luck!

It just depends on how the car was maintained and drivin. If someone kept good maintenance(changed fluids when needed and ect.) and also didn't drive it hard then i would buy it even if it has high mileage. Just take it to a mechanic just to make sure they're are no surprises and you should be good!

No buying a car with high miles and good maintenance is better thant buying a car with low miles and no maitenance at all. If you buy a car with less than 100,000 miles you can bet it's never had anything done but maybe a couple oil changes

i personally wouldnt want to go over 150000.. but as long as the engine has been maintnanced when it should have been, then it should be good... also it depends on if they are highway miles or in stop and go traffic.. hondas are good cars even with high milage.. take them for a test drive and see how they run, if you find one you are really interested in, take it to a mechanic and see if they can see any problems...
i have a 95 geo tracker with 140000 miles and it still runs as great as when i got it.. i just bought a 03 grand prix, it has 144000 miles and runs like it was new!!
