Question ❔ Seeking advice - 2016 CR-V for $8k USD/$11k CAD for 152k mi / 245k km
Hi all! I am thinking of test-driving/purchasing a 2016 Honda CR-V with 152,235 miles for $7,700 USD / 245,000 km for $10,900 CAD. I would appreciate any thoughts on whether this is a good condition or price to reconcile the higher mileage! (Pics enclosed)
Usually I'd ask my dad, but he's not here anymore so I figured I might turn to the good people of the internet. I would really appreciate any help from people who know cars, since I don't know much other than what I've been googling. I did read on other threads/blogs about how I should steer clear of 150,000+ miles / 200,000+ km cars, but this price looks good and the condition seems well-kept! So I'm curious if this is a good buy (or if maybe I'm just exhausted from car-searching and getting worn down, lol).
Just looking for a car for the next few years, so don't expect it to last forever (ideally as long as possible though, of course - I'm a fresh graduate so just starting my career!)
I will say that I'm Atlantic Canadian (hence the double units in this post haha), so I live in a coastal place with snow in the winter. But I'm mainly a city driver, where there isn't a lot of snow on the roads themselves but there is a lot of salt, thanks to the city's plows. Not sure if that matters but figured I'd share for context re potential maintenance.
The listing's description is below for context:

- Good overall condition inside and out. There's a minor scrape on the plastic front bumper cover, shown in the photos."
I am worried because of any transmission issues, but not sure if that's a true concern or if I'm just coincidentally coming across a smaller group of unfortunate commenters in other posts...
Thank you so much in advance! Appreciate any advice!
