It's a small 12 year old Hybrid for a lot of money.

And on top of that with a Hybrid that old, it may need a $2k replacement battery at any moment.

It would be a good car if it would be cheaper, a lot cheaper.

Cause it's kind of a bad hybrid, it does 34 mpg combined EPA - like a Corolla CVT without a hybrid system.

Also you didn't mention the milage...

 

EDIT: So it's also high millage... but I see you used KMs - so I'm guessing you're not in the US so you might be using a different dollar and pricing in your region might be different.

 

If it's in good condition, and a reasonable sum in your region - and a mechanic checks it out - eh, why not, it's decent and it's a cool first car. just be prepared to put in a new battery whenever the one that's in it goes bad...

Take it to a trustworthy mechanic and let him check it out. You can't trust anybody.

Double check the CR-Z if it has a back starter. Honda made a hybrid with a back up starter, just in case the hybrid battery fails. But I’m not sure if that included the CR-Z. If this is the case for the CR-Z, you may be able to use it, even without replacing the hybrid battery if it goes out. It just acts like a normal car rather than a hybrid.
