I dropped off my UA9 for the local Honda guy to do some labour intensive cosmetic work to it.

On the way home in his loaner car...I notice it had 411,000 miles on it.

Feels a little loose from suspension just wearing out but really feels just fine, otherwise.

This causes me to wax all nostalgic over my Honda origins. The loaner car is a 1989 Civic Wagon, and reminds me very much of my very first Honda, a 1989 DX Hatch.

:-)

 

Since the phone is in my pocket....

Honda couldn't do anything wrong back then.

 

Hot Damn, how did the engine run on that thing?


I Can has Title?

 

HOLY CRAP! Wow thumbs up for Japanese people that know how to make beastly engines that last longer than my dog...

 

Motor was fine, gearbox fine. Handling a little sloppy, felt kind of worn out and loose.

Other than that, I felt right at home. Just like it was 1989 again. :-)

 

Wow that's impressive! Now I also can't believe that is their loaner car!

 

could of had a rebuild??

 

Haha, yeah it's unbelievable.

 

:-) It's just a tiny little shop in a town in a home county in Virginia.

 

Ahhh that explains it! Pretty sweet though, and at least they gave you a loaner.

 

dont most cars go back to 0 after 300k?

 

What? where did you hear that?

 

One of the Honda dealership I work for had a trade Accord that was clock at 52x,xxx. She traded in cause the seats were worn out and it bother her back, lol

In the past, a few high 300,xxx I've seen thru the dealership(s)

 

That's sweet! My 91 Sedan has 265K on the clock and runs like a champ. Doesn't leak or burn oil and the A/C still blows cold as ice!

 

i dunno my nissan went bak to zero when i hit 200k and i put another 50k on it before i traded it in. so the clock read as 50k....and my mom had a geo metro too that went bak to zero after 200k...so i dunno, thought most cars were like that.....was jw is all

 

i have a crx that reads 351,560 as of right now. but i just noticed the odometer spins twice as fast as the trip. a shop told me some older hondas they get in have the same issue.

 

Only you GK only you.

 

98 Accord on the showroom at the dealership I work at with 724,000. super clean too.

 

Wow! That's awesome! Makes me feel better about my 276,000 mile EF. :-)

 

wow 411k and still running around,thats very impressive. my 88 civic 4dr had 256k or 276k before i sold it. and that thing ran like a champ. quiet as hell too

 

Congrats for thoses nice numbers !

Keep it thoses babies in good shape

 

Honda for life!!

 

Wow! I can only hope my CRX will last that long! So far, I am at 250,000 miles and it's still running strong!

Gotta love these damn Honda's!

 

In Before Th... (grandpa posted that?)
