I'm just curious, how many miles do people run their Accords with proper maintenance? I drive my 2000 EX 4cyl on a lot of business trips and do my own maintenance....so far 276,000!
I have changed my timing belt and water pump every 110k and have changed oil and filter every 3k. Inner tie rod ends and front wheel bearing at 200k...just for preventative maintenance.
No oil consumption noticeable and still runs strong. I just purchased another new set of tires for it as I plan to keep on driving.
I still drive it coast to coast and border to border and it looks almost as good as new...a couple minor door dings from hotel parking lots but that's it!

So...how many miles on yours with original drivetrain?

I wonder what percentage of them go so many miles, some marques make a big deal out of how long their cars last...are they more reliable than an Accord?

 

Marques? As in Merc Grand Marquis/Ford Crown Vic's? Sure they're car might last a long time, but at the expense of a gas guzzling V8?

I'm at 191,000 on my 99, the only thing drivetrain-wise that has been replaced is the clutch. My 95 was going strong at 233,000 when I totaled it. There is a guy on here who has a bunch of videos of his Accords journey to 500,000 miles and he made it.

 

damn finch didnt know you had that many miles on it.

my 95 has 160k on it
my 97 has 12something i dont remember lol

saw a 97 with 320k on original motor and tranny.

 

Yeah... I bought it 169k... didn't you see my post where I was complaing about already putting 15k on it in 7 months?

 

apparently not.

 

i have almost 150,000 on mine, i have slight engine tap(since 100k miles actually), the most i payed to fix it was a week ago and it was 600 to change my tires, clean and reaplce egr parts, and 2 new motor mounts. most peiople tell me it looks like it came off the factory casue i keep it so damn clean

 

Me, Me, Me ...... oh, sorry, wrong club.

I'm at 22k.

 

lol its till a baby then

 

yup ..... and soon to have one heck of a temper tantrum when I want it to.

 

Are you confusing yourself with the "Mile High" club? [sm=chairshot.gif]
