Used to kick struts

Do you think it's a good idea to put used tokico struts with 60k miles with coilovers on my 2000 civic ex or just buy new ones? I'm thinking about buying them for $200.

Pretty high mileage.... The way I see it is, if they're not free or under $100, might as well get new ones.

60K isn't high for a tokico, I had almost 200K on illumina's and they were solid as a rock, but still I agree just put the $200 toward new ones and at least you'll get a warranty.

If they are Tokico blues, they shouldn't be used with any coilover. They are just OE replacements. If they are Illuminas, you may be ok.

Either way, pressing on the car and not seeing any fluid is not a good test to see if they work properly.
