    Wear and tear on a clutch isn't really felt by alot of people.
    You may find that the owner of the car says everything is fine but you notice it slipping.. Problem is many people don't realize something is wrong due to the fact they drive the car day in and out while if you get another friend of yours (if your the owner) who knows what there on about, he'll be able to tell you the same thing.
    Engine mounts i would expect to either be worn or would have been replaced on a car with that many km's.
    Owner mature i take or no?
    Good way to tell if the owner is a person who maintains his belonging, if you go inspect the car (which you will at one stage), if it's at his place, notice, is his garage or front yard a mess or it maintained?
    Things like that can you a good idea of how clean and tidy a person is. << Something i looked at when i first looking into buying a DC5R but i took a gamble at bought from a delear in Melbourne with full Honda records and i've NEVER had a drama expect for my starter motor but this a common fault anyway...

    Best of luck mate
