wow you guys got low mileage!
1997 3.0 automatic CL with 183k here. replaced timing belt at 100k, so a new one is coming up in 17k miles. car is running strong. i'm guesstimating it's gonna hit 300k without much trouble, if i haven't moved on to a new car by then.
i have a toyota camry with 290k miles and still runs (although the struts are horribad so i drive the CL) and a 300zx with 120k
everything is replaceable in a car for cheap, except the engine and transmission. as long as those run, you can keep the car alive forever. and they're hondas, so the motors were made well.

I recently moved out to Wyoming from Boston, MA (Go Bruins!).
I left on 4/22 with 91k on the clock. As of today, I am just shy of 102,000. I've done quite a bit of driving over the past 2 months! Car is still running like a champ, knock on wood.
'99 Cl 2.3, 5MT.

CL in lawnmower status
327000 kms
got 1000 on her since november as it got broken into and other car is in the shop, so had to do a bit of driving with the cl.
she's running a little rough, but started and runs after being frozen to the driveway for 4+ months, so i'd say thats a win for the old girl
and still slammed so bottoming out everywhere and getting shit from contractors for "not having a 4x4", lol
but i still go almost all the same places they go, just have to make sure to drive on the top of the ruts, not in them
and +1 for Optima batteries, left my yellow top in the garage for 4 months as it didn't have enough power to crank the cl once a week in the cold anymore, charged it twice, and now it seems like its brand new again, everyone thought it would have been fucked for sure

My 97 CL is at 253k still runs like a dream, bought it at 245k and the only thing that needs to be done soon is sway bar bushings, which will be done when I put my coilovers on in a month or two.

Just hit 193k. Runs great aside from not so perfect shifting for about 10k miles now. Original tranny so imo would be worth putting a rebuild in and shoot for 300k.
