180K? That's quite expensive for a non-Honda or Toyota 1.3 car over 9 years old, and given the suspected 2x true mileage, sorry to say, but I guess you were ripped off somehow.

Our 96 Civic now has about 165K, which is used almost everyday. If your EL already did 190K, well, that has been flogged greatly, almost like a taxi.

Anyway, you ought to negotiate with the seller about this, like reimburse some of the money you paid. I guess he won't refund you completely, but it's worth a try.
