What's the highest mileage Honda/Acura you've owned/seen?
 
I searched for this and didn't find it.

What's the highest mileage Honda/Acura you've seen or owned?

I have a 96 2.5 with 234K. It's holding up really well, I just cleaned her up this weekend :thumbsup:

Most i had was a legend with 160k

Costco 10-07-2008 12:23 PM

Most I owned was a 165k 95 Integra

The highest I've seen was 240k but not sure if that counts cause it wasn't an original engine, otherwise 220k

ggesq 10-07-2008 12:51 PM

Had a 1988 Integra which lasted about 160k miles before I traded it in.

Wife had a 1995 Civic which had 240k miles before we sold it.

Both were rock solid.

The Dougler 10-07-2008 01:21 PM

Had an Accord with 475k on the clock before it was written off.

black label 10-07-2008 01:21 PM

88 Legend with 540K+. Wasn't mine but I'd see it in the shop.

What year was the accord? Original engine?

subinf 10-07-2008 01:36 PM

in person, around 300k. there was a thread about an integra that had a shit ton of miles at some dealer. that was impressive. looked good too

YVRTSX 10-07-2008 01:39 PM

We had a 1990 Civic h/b that we put about 365,000 Km (226,000 miles) on.

My folks put about 427,000 Km (265,000 miles) on a 1992 Accord over about 11 years.

invisiblewar 10-07-2008 01:59 PM

isnt there a 6spd legend coupe out there that has like 600k on it and is in perfect condition? or was that a teg?

fsttyms1 10-07-2008 02:00 PM

I had 210k on my tl when i did the swap. im closing in on 300k total now. Ive had 2 other hondas with 300k on them all original still running stron when i got rid of them.

Sarlacc 10-07-2008 02:01 PM

When I sold hondas we had a 1991 civic in the showroom with 300,000 original miles, original clutch. The guy had bought it from that dealer, then traded it back to them for something newer years later.

The dealer had the car repainted and keeps it on display to show customers how reliable Hondas are.

zguy95135 10-07-2008 02:02 PM

My old CL had 220k on it and still running strong, it didn't even burn any oil.

imj0257 10-07-2008 02:02 PM

had a 94 integra with 146k miles

iamhomin 10-07-2008 02:05 PM

I never owned one that had more than 140K miles, but I remember a thread of a member that owned a Legend with more than 500K miles. It looked pretty good as well.

I saw this car in person...looked very clean inside. It had a respray to make the exterior look decent, though...

it was a 95 EXR with the 2.2l in it. All original.

Osamu 10-07-2008 03:09 PM

i haven't owned many hondas.....well only 1 in fact. 91' legend w/ 123k. Not too impressive. I think my brother's 01' CL has almost the same mileage by now.

I know i've seen quite a few legends with over 300k.

Sly Raskal 10-07-2008 04:20 PM

My '03 CL-S 6spd had 160K on the odometer if I recall correctly when I traded her in.

My '97 GS-R had approx 155K on it when it was totaled.

My '98 GS-R, when purchased had 108K on the odometer, and currently has approx. 114K.

mltk53 10-07-2008 04:21 PM

seen my friend with 280,000miles

JnC 10-07-2008 05:02 PM

00 TL, bought it at 66k and sold it to my brother at 96k he has 276K on the odo as we speak.

02 TL-S, bought it with 70k miles on the odo from an AZ member and sold it with 160k on the odo this summer.

Off topic, before the TLs I use to be a Maxima guy and owned 5 over the years. My last maxima was a 97 SE and I totaled it with 254k miles.

Yes I do drive a lot.

ChrisQ1980 10-07-2008 06:13 PM

My father purchased a brand new 1994 Acura Integra LS (auto) back in October of 1993He gave it to me because I took such great care of it for him when it had 140k on the clock in 2000.

I drove it until it had 200k, then sold it for $4,000 in 2004. The car was perfect. Only basic maintence. Worst mistake ever selling that car.

KaMLuNg 10-07-2008 07:13 PM

my 92 PRELUDE had 222k miles on it before the HG went and i donated the car... everything else was original though...

tmnhs81 10-08-2008 01:02 AM

Worked on a 1995 Civic EX coupe yesterday. Car was in for trailing arm bushing's. Car had 355000 miles on it and was running strong, looked like original engine and transmission(all that dust and junk was there mixed up with oil, sitting on whole engine and tranny)

YeuEmMaiMai 10-08-2008 04:32 AM

1994 accord over 200K on it now

Justin.CL 10-08-2008 06:02 AM

The most was my 88 Accord LX - 317k

My 91 Accord EX I drive now is at 245,221 when I parked it at work this morning.

dallison 10-08-2008 08:29 AM

my boss had a 94 accord with 330k on the clock and still got $900.

our highest was a 95 accord with 185k.

our 97 integra just turned 100k.


on the other hand, i purchased a 1987 camry in 1995 for $1200 with 143k on the clock and ended up getting rid of it 5 years later with 276k

EL19 10-08-2008 08:37 AM

Owned a 93 Acura legend with 295K Miles before the engine blew. Original everything.

charliemike 10-08-2008 10:42 AM

1992 Honda Civic VX - 496k miles on it. Friend that owned it was a courier. Did about 80k a year. Original Engine, Transmission, clutch (if you can believe it). Just did brakes and changed the oil and timing belt.

Traded it in for a Prelude. Car had a cracked block from hitting the side of an Applebee's when he accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and jumped the curb.

This one? 300k miles and in perfect condition.

SuperTrooper169 10-08-2008 10:54 AM

My 88 CRX Si had 180k on it when I sold it. God I miss that car.

sr4dt 10-08-2008 02:27 PM

My RL has over 140K+ miles on it. Although not too high in absolute terms it seems high to me as I have never owned a vehicle past 60K mile

harminder247 10-08-2008 02:32 PM

91 legend my dad owned, sold it in 99 and it had 375k on it. Original engine.

It was a white legend, 300k, an 88 i think. It's been serviced at the same dealer the whole time, and it was on display there a while ago. Don't know which dealer it was though.

I've got a cavalier at around 205kms, and my uncle has a 94 Camry with 274kms

One of my life achievements is to run a car until the odo runs back to 0.

What happens to digital odos once they get to the 1million mark? are they programmed to wind back or something?

5ixfiftycl 10-08-2008 03:21 PM

my cousins 88 legend has over 300k and it's still running... man those legends can sure take a beating.

datnkay 10-08-2008 03:40 PM

holy shit are u guys over exaggerating 300k+...i always knew honda/acura are reliable cars...my 94 gsr still runs like a champ w/ 170k miles...my sisters 92 prelude has over 230k miles on it and the only reason why it's not running is because it's in need of a new clutch

tegkid 10-08-2008 09:10 PM

my old ls had 140k before it was stolen
most ive personally seen is a friends gsr with 280k
runs like a champ but tons of aftermarket parts so i dont know if that counts

FiveLiterCheater 10-08-2008 10:03 PM

My 91' legend hit 190 with no problems, but bit the dust after that. Would've gone longer if better maintained...

waterpolo820 10-08-2008 11:00 PM

I have a '96 RL with 180,xxx miles

My cousins integra has 250,xxx miles (as of 2 months ago)

Both are still running strong!

TommySalami 10-08-2008 11:02 PM

There was a thread about a Civic with 1 million miles on it that was for sale with original everything.

My mom, then my cousin, had our 400k+ miles accord before the timing belt broke and the engine was fubar'd. It never had a major problem
