Ok so I want to know about how long to expect my 97' to last. Just curious as to who has the most mileage on their own 5th gen. Accord.

 

My 95 Accord has 172,XXX miles on it and it's still running pretty strong. Just needs some minor work done to it. But, Hondas are said to last long.

 

I'm currently at 155k, and I am hoping to make it to 250k without issues

 

i sold my salvage 94 accord to my friend for $500 with 150K on it this year...... it was salvaged at 60K I drove it for 90K and all I had to do was

1. replace rad cap
2. repalce exhaust
3. replace driver side outer CV joint
4. recharge A/C 2X
5. brakes
6. timimg belt

Total cost for me was under $900 for 4 years and 90K miles. My friend has not had to do anything to the car yet and it is at 160K now...

 

i have a 95 accord ex with 136,xxx. and i bought it last july with 100,2xx miles on it. i drive alot

 

My 97 LX has 154K on it or so... I bought in Fall 2005 with 120,385 on it.

Doing the math on it, it's like I've put 50 miles on it a day since I bought it. But I take the thing on road trips all the time.

 

my 97 has 203xxx on it and it still runs fine. the only internal work was a port and polish on the head at about 115xxx. I did have to rebuild the trans because of a leak on the slave cylinder that was never taken care of which in turn destroyed the syncros. this car has been put threw the paces for sure, but I make sure to do all my general maintenance.

 

My 95 EX has over 258,000 miles on it. I bought it new. Minor things did need replacement with mileage and wear, radiator, speedometer circuit board, one window regulator, power door lock actuators. The car still runs strong; but, I'm tired of it now and plan on a new car this or next year. My 95 probably will last even way longer; but, I may or may not keep it.

How long it last, depends greatly on proper maintenance.

 

Mine is a 94 and had 130k when the speedo stopped working 3-5 years ago. I just fixed it about a month ago, I'm estimating about 175-180k.

It also didn't have an oil change in about 1.5 years, I just did that last week lol. Still running original belts, they will be replaced when I'm legal to drive and can get it to a shop.

I'm pretty sure these F series will last forever

I wouldnt really brag about not having an oil change, because that is something cheap that you can do that REALLY saves the life of the engine.

 

yeah, sersiously, with that kinda neglect don't brag about how old it is, cause it might not last much longer.
Mine is at 185,000 but my bro kinda neglected it for a while so I've had to put a good amount of money into it.
Worst is timing belt which you must do anyway, snapped CV axle which happened from a sucky previous driver probably, and a broken radiator which isnt bad lasting 185,000 miles.

The engine and transmission work great though. Transmission shifts smooth for a 5th gen accord and the engine burns 0 oil or coolant.

 

my 95 had 205K on it when I was T-Boned and it was totaled. It would still hit the 115 shutoff and had lots of life left in it. My 97 has 127K with 55K on the H22a. Routine maintenance will keep it running for a while. I've heard of people having 300K+ on their Hondas.

 

96 accord with 128,376.

I've only owned the car 1 month. This is coming from the previous owner

 

So far my 96 has 203,000 and I had to replace the engine at 196,000. I also replaced a bunch of other stuff like the radiator, wheel bearings, ball joints, the axles(3 times each), plus some other stuff but I drive the car pretty hard. I bought it with 84,000 on it about 4.5 years ago.

My 97 lx has ~80k on it right now. I bought it with 30k in 04 and have only done the timing belt service and new tires.... If you stay on top of maintenance your should be able to drive it 250k plus.

 

94 EX with 153,XXX Still going strong. Did a carbon clean and replaced the plugs and wires and air filter when i bought it 8 months ago with 137,XXX. Just did the front brakes last weekend and the rear brakes are getting done this weekend. Still runs fine and everything. Got school for the next 2 years and hoping it will last me that long till i can get a new car. Im hoping to see it to 200,000+. Just gotta take care of them and they will last forever. I had a friend who had 403,XXX on his 93 civic before he totaled it.

 

1995 Accord EX V6 with leather. 98K miles we never drive it.

 

oooh ooh pick me, my buddy in austin knows of a shop, has a loaner accord with over a million on the clock, all the do is regular stuff

oil change erry 3000

Do a search for the million mile Integra.

It looked like brand new from the factory.

And damn, what is your obsession with pissing on peoples lawns, and penises?
