Re: Advice or tips on buying a used honda.
 

take your compression tester with
look at the oil, if it isn't clean and decent looking thats a sure sign of neglect
drive it slow, drive it at highway speeds, turn corners, use the brakes. do all this stuff and make sure it rides smooth at all speeds, doesnt have any strange noises, and doesnt shake or shimmy
look at the way the body panels line up (hood, fenders, bumper) and look at the frame rails under the hood. if its been wrecked like half the time the frame rails still have twists and dents in them

from there i wouldnt worry about much else, just make sure everything works...from there just use your judgement. there aint much on these cars thats too hard to fix.
