Looking to buy a used car. Tips on cars, craigslist and negotiating needed!

Hi all- my last car was a 1996 Honda Accord- paint chipping and a lot of problems with the wheels- I spent almost $1000 fixing up the car and bought it for about $2,000 with 140k on it. Granted I ran it into the ground, putting more than 50k on it in a year and a half (I do a lot of driving).

Now I'm in the market for a new used car. I want something decent, but nothing too fancy as I ll likely put 20-25k a year on it. I'm on Long Island and am looking on craigslist.

What kinds of cars should I look for? I want something thats going to last, but I also need to find a dealer I could trust. When I negotiate the price, how low does the dealer expect me to go, so they could make a profit? Any advice on car models, prices and finding the right dealer etc will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Honda civic 07 plate Air Con problems?

I have an 07 plate Honda civic, I just had the air con recharge done today. The mechanic says there's no leaks and the gas is staying in but air won't blow cold. The engine is working as it should and the air is blowing but it's staying warm. Does anyone have any suggestions what it can be that's causing the air to stay warm.

Can I replace my OEM non-navigation head unit with a OEM navigation head unit?

The head unit for my 2017 Honda CR-V EX got damaged. Warranty won't cover it, and it will cost $2,000 to replace. I found a used 2017 Honda CR-V head unit online but it is for the trim that includes gps navigation. Can I replace my factory non-navigation with the factory navigation head unit? Even if the navigation won't work, would everything else work the same by just plugging it in? My head unit has touch screen controls to turn on or off blind spot motoring, automatic collision braking, door lock configuration, etc. Read more: https://hondanews.net/odyssey/can-i-replace-my-oem-non-navigation-head-unit-with-a.html

Is 100K too many miles for a used car that s not a diesel?

People told me that many miles is only OK if it's a diesel. It d be a 2002 Honda car, and I d need to get it checked but it's supposed to be in great condition. I d probably put at least 10-15K miles on it a year, since where I live everything is far. Added (1). Darn it, it posted wrong and can't delete now.
