I’ve had
...a 76 Honda
...an 80 Honda
...an 88 Honda

We kept each one for over 10 years.

Too bad I can no longer afford them.

I just traded in a 98 with 110K and got $3K for it from CarMax? Guess they knew it still had 880+K left in it.

I just got rid of my 1995 Subaru Legacy that had over 180,000 miles on it. But then again, I only commuted about 60 miles/day for work. I can’t imagine over 200!

Superb maintenance, and the right engine, can do this.

I hope his people contact Honda about this. He could get a fat endorsement deal out of it.

I drive a 98 GMC Safari van every day for work, 261,000 miles and counting. On the third fuel pump, replaced everything else once except the engine, transmission, and exhaust. Runs like a top. I’d love to get a new vehicle, but it just won’t give up the ghost. I use Valvoline extended life synthetic oil.

Give up, and give in. You are NEVER going to make it. Get yourself a nice new vehicle, you’ve EARNED it.

Imteresting that the drivers seat isn’t worn out. There’s a lot of “butt time” for all those miles.

I'm surprised that Honda doesn't want to buy it back. I seem to recall that Toyota will offer to trade a brand new car for an old one with a million or more miles on it.

That’s amazing!

Kinda goes to show the screwing you get when trading in a “high mileage” car with 125k miles is unfounded.
