Probably have to pop for four tires at 60,000. It's certainly been a no-drama vehicle so far. :)That is the way cars are now. I have had my Honda for almost 20 yearsand I haven't done dick to it. At this point an oil change mightdouble the value ;-) Mine is 12. I treat it to an oil change once a year weather it needs it or not. I replaced 1 strut because it was leaking a bit. Brakes are original. Emergency brake got dragged about 200 miles. Needless to say the pads were worn to metal and the drums were well grooved. I finally got around to fixing them last year. $29 for new shoes. Took a drum sander on an electric drill to the grooved brake drums using the grooves as a guide to removing material. Good to go now. I'm on my 5th set of tires. The odometer shows less than half the rolling miles. Hondas are good cars. I don't have a clue how many miles are on this one. I know the 10,000 wheel didn't move for 20,000 miles, then it rolled half way for 10,000 more and finally clicked over. That is a classic "ice picked odometer" symptom. CarFax was useless. I am guessing maybe 200,000. I have put one and a half sets of tires on this in 19 years, a clutch master cylinder, a knock sensor, the oil filter base was leaking and I bought the dealer $1000 belt job. It still says ~101k on the odometer tho. It said 69k when I bought it in 2002. I did go for a Maaco paint job 10 years ago but it is ugly now. I may have changed the oil 10 times but I don't remember that many. I just carry a screwdriver. When it craps out I will take the tags, have AAA haul it away and drop me at a car rental place. I paid $14k for it. I have about another $3k in it total other than gas. I got my money's worth. |
