Whos got more then 380k miles on a cl?????

I work at advance auto parts and a customer came in with a 97 3.0cl with 380k miles on it to get the check engine light cleared, turns out he has a misfire so i sold him some plugs that he threw in on the spot and it was fine. he barely spoke a word of english so couldnt ask him if it was original drivetrain...jus thought itd be fun to see how many miles you all are rolling with.

the interior was actually really clean other then the driver side seat bolster being worn, no dash cracks, nothing missing...to say the least i was shocked.

well he probably figured that it wouldnt make sense to buy a new car since he has spent about 12k dollars on transmissions and probably been through more window regulators then there are 94-97 honda accords outt there or maybe you were lookin at his trip meter or somethin lol and i got 139k on mine but im on my original tranny

On a 2.x 5spd i wouldnt be surprised. A friend of mine had almost 480,000 KM on his 90 accord exr before the engine died. On a 3.0, thats impressive..

yea my dad and brother figured out how to put a metal bracket on the air sensor with a bolt that tells the car that the bags are inflated when theyre not, so essentially it tricks the car into lowering itself. they both have slammed cars that costed about 4 dollars each

Why does this describe me??? My interior looks pretty good, save the side of the driver's seat that's ripped up.
