198k on it now. Just had an ignition coil go out (3rd one over the past 10 years). They're a weak point. Replaced all 6 spark plugs also, cleaned out the EGR, which was totally plugged, adjusted the valves, and ran a full intake and fuel system cleaning. So much more power now and I'm sure it'll result in better mileage too.

I recently purchased mine and doing a restore of it currently. VIN# 6686
It currently has 95,555 on the clock but needs some work for restoration.
-Rear engine cradle corrosion (part sourced and ordered)
-Headlights (Just came in)
-Purge valve replace (ordered)
-Brakes (all done, but awaiting parking shoes for rears)
-Rust on the hood (Either patch or replace w/ OEM)
-Full exhaust replace from the cat-back (maybe A-pipe back) <--- on order
-Interior separation needs to be fixed
A bunch of other misc. things too, but she's a good runner and shifter just needs some love. It was maintained for 17 years by a dealership in CT so it has all the fresh Acura parts

Just bought mine
216,500 and purring like a kitten.
She prolly needs some general maintenance, but she's incredibly solid.
Maintained immaculately over the last four years by previous owner. I'm going to do the same.
I'm looking into a 2gen parts car now, just in case.

Just turned over 200k this weekend. Bought it with about 64k back in 2007. Worked from home most of that time so 10k miles a year, including lots of road trips. Generally put gas in it once a month or less.
