OP, I bet you can reach 400k as long as you perform routine maintenance as scheduled!

I'm hoping to get 500K out of my Accord before I replace it.

Congrats!

Hell yeh go for 400K. I'm at 162K now and hope to get at least 250K. That will probably be in the next 2-3 years.

Im hoping my clutch will last till 200k If it does the TL will have seen 430k miles. Only need 65k more miles or so.

Funny you should mention maintenence as the car is due for the 100K timing belt service, which is the only maintenence I have not done to the car myself. I'm just not sure I can justify a $600 service on a car that is worth barely twice that, particually when I have another car ready to be a daily driver.

Same boat here. Have a second car that does nothing but look pretty in the garage, yet I dumped $1,400 into a timing belt/water pump (among other services) into my coupe at 421k miles this past May. Keep that Accord rolling!

That's awesome. I'm 47K away on my TL. I'll be there soon enough! Just replaced all brakes and getting a new flex pipe put in next week.

Stop posting and start driving!

I need another timing belt at 270K...damnit. I remember doing it the 2nd time and was thinking at least it's the last time...now I might do it again.
