Did I get a good deal or rip off?

Did I get a good deal or rip off?
Bought my first Honda Civic It's 1999 DX Coupe. Auto transmission. Silver. Good condition (but some bumps in back). Average/Well maintained. 2 Previous Owners - mileage was heavy for first owner (who put on 110000km (68300 miles) because was sales person - think it was highway driving. Bought in Vancouver (near Seattle) where it doesn't snow as much and they don't salt the roads very often (less rust). Got it from second owner with 184000km (114000 miles) for $6200 CAD (about $5,275 US). No real addons - manual locks, doors, only radio, cloth interior.
1st question to all you civic gurus: Did I get a good / average / bad deal - It was a spontaneous purchase so I didn't do too much research. It seemed like it was semi-well maintained because owner had logs.
2nd question: How long do civics usually last if I maintain it well? Can I get 260,000km (160,000miles) out of this thing?
3rd question: Anyone know of any maintenance logs I can use? Like a spreadsheet I can print out and put in car to keep track of oil changes etc?
4th question (sorry for all the questions): Any general issues I should watch out for in this model of car?
Thanks for all your help!

RE: Did I get a good deal or rip off?
I don't have an owners manual.....
Where do I get one?
Also, what price would have been a good deal for the above car? Where would have it entered the "bad deal" range?
Thanks for your help
