Need help im buying my first used car im 17?

so im in the market to buy a used car and im buying private and im on a budget. Its going to be my first car and im 17. Im looking at a 1995 honda civic lx sedan and its going for $1600 or best offer. Im buying the car by myself off of my hard earned money so please dont tell me to buy some expensive car because sorry my parents aren't buying it for me.

The only thing i dont like is the car has 281 000kms but i've heard that honda and acura engines last forever is this true? is this a good car for me too start off with im just looking for a beater to get me to school, work and around untill i get enough money to buy something real good.

any advice please
