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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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
