Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2005Who has the most miles on their Honda Accord?
Just thought it would be interesting to hear how many miles people are squeezing out of them?Who has the most documented miles? Getting ready to take delivery of my new 05 so I'll be staring at the beginning. I put 316,000 kms on my '91 accord before it died (about 196,000 miles for the non-metric people). > Just thought it would be interesting to hear how many miles people are > squeezing out of them?Who has the most documented miles?

Elle 1991 Civic, 161k miles, looking strong > I put 316,000 kms on my '91 accord before it died (about 196,000 miles > for the non-metric people). It was a camshaft bearing that I guess seized up, then the camshaft sheared right in half. With the associated damage from all that the engine is very much dead. No big deal because the car ran great and was very responsive till the last day so I'm not complaining. My Old Pontiac 6000 that I had before that hit 286,000 kms but ran like crap for most of it's lifetime so my money's on Hondas for keeping their performance even with very high mileage. > Radar, what finally did it in? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >>I put 316,000 kms on my '91 accord before it died (about 196,000 miles >>for the non-metric people).

A friend of mine put close to 500,000km (about 310,000 miles) on an '86 Accord (automatic, carbureted) and, as far as I know, it never needed an engine or tranny overhaul. He ditched it only a few years ago when the rust caught up with it. I remember reading on the 'net somewhere about a mid-90s Accord in the U.S. that had gone over a million miles. Question is, did it ever need an engine or (assuming it was an automatic) tranny overhaul? >> Just thought it would be interesting to hear how many miles people are >> squeezing out of them?Who has the most documented miles?

I have almost 140k miles on my '93 Accord (auto) and now that the engine has loosened up a bit, I'd say it runs better than new. It passes the emission inspection by a wide margin. After an alignment by a good shop last year, I felt like I had a new car--no vibrations up to 100mph. > I remember reading on the 'net somewhere about a mid-90s Accord in the U.S. > that had gone over a million miles.

I had a stranger approach me as I was gassing up last week to tell me that "If you take car of that car, it will take care of you". Apparently there are a lot of people out there who used to own 91-93 Accords, moved on to other cars, but miss the Accord. If any Accord is capable of joining the million mile club, the 91-93 vintage is. Andrew >I remember reading on the 'net somewhere about a mid-90s Accord in the U.S. >that had gone over a million miles. Question is, did it ever need an engine >or (assuming it was an automatic) tranny overhaul? It was supposedly a 1994 Accord with 4 cylinder / manual drivetrain. I remember seeing a newspaper column where the columnist was test driving the car after some Honda dealer bought it for display (noting that the car looked and acted like any other 1994 Accord with "normal" mileage), but it no longer shows up in a web search. No mention of anything other than regular maintenance.  Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.

This car has been driven since 89 by a soft driver. And I'm a soft driver . I do all the oil change and tranny and other stuff...it's time to change all the stuff with my skill if I know how to do that I wouldn't go for mechanic. I tried to replace starter but seems to working ok since I replaced battery. > > >I remember reading on the 'net somewhere about a mid-90s Accord in the > U.S. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Timothy J.

'01 EX-V6 bought 06/01 and it currently has 116,000 miles. I bought my 92 Accord new. At present 314,116 miles. For metric people, 502,585 km. Original engine and auto trans. Mobil 1 oil every 5000 miles or 8000 km Love the oil data. But hey, take some credit for yourself for obviously taking care of your Accord! > I bought my 92 Accord new. At present 314,116 miles. For metric people, > 502,585 km. Original engine and auto trans. Mobil 1 oil every 5000 miles > or 8000 km geez, and I thought my Honda 94 accord had too much mileage at 136K miles. However, I do a lot of driving in the city, so it probably won't take long before the honda gives up. Had a lady at work complaining that her Honda now was leaking oil after an oil change, and when looking at it I discovered the head gasket had given up the ghost. She was insisting we did something to it to cause it to fail. The car had over 300,00 miles on it. SignatureStephen W.

That kills me. :-) I can't say whether to call this customer silly (for not realizing she has way got her money's worth out of this car) or smart for taking good enough care of the car to make it last this long. I hope you guys just smiled and told her to have a chat with Tom and Ray about her little workhorse Honda. > Had a lady at work complaining that her Honda now was leaking oil after an > oil change, and when looking at it I discovered the head gasket had given up > the ghost.

No, not a regular and also we have "oil change customers" They think we make money on oil changes. Look at the history and 25 15.99 oil changes and no real service. Sometimes they come in with our recommendations done by "Their Mechanic". Then, why doesn't he do "Your Oil Change?" Take Care SignatureStephen W.

The speed sensor was out for a couple of months and no mileage was recorded during that time. I estimate about another 6000 for that. Still runs like a top and does not use or leak any oil. Went through two teenage drivers, one is still using it at college. I'm a believer. >Just thought it would be interesting to hear how many miles people are >squeezing out of them?Who has the most documented miles?
