For $2000, that sounds pretty good. Drive around and see if you hear anything: creaks, groans, etc. The transaxle isn't the best. There are a few things that can go wrong, but if you put in a trany cooler when you get it (cheap), it should be reliable, if you're nice to it. They hold up decently well on easy-driven 4-cyl cars.
Since you want to keep it around for a long time, go drive it. See how you like it. Odds are, you'll love it, or hate it. It very different from your Honda. Get it on the highway, and use it like you plan to if you buy it. If you like it, pick it up! Then come back here and we'll tell you how to treat it, so that it'll treat you well for a long time. If you don't love it, then get another Honda. You really can't go wrong with them, as far as reliability.
