It is cheap compared to say a Ferrari though.

You talk a lot about Ferraris, did you do something nasty when you test drove that Ferrari?

Clk's Ebay Stuff BUY SOMETHING NOW!!!

I have always felt that at about 200k miles on an average honda or toyota. The requirements for more parts and decreasing reliability are going to raise their heads.

A car on constant highway use may be a lot better and go a lot further before this occurs though. Eighty percent of our cars usage is spent very locally. All these very short trips are hard on them.

What may suprise some is many components that are maintenance items in other cars are lifetime components in honda. This suprised me and does factor into more value and less service bills.

Resulting in more money in your pocket over the long haul in my opinion. Especially with the greater retained resale value. Really people should think about these things before deciding what to purchase.

No I do not and never have owned a honda but some members of my family do and I have watched. I suspect we are going to try one.

Locally hyundai are grabbing a large segment of the market. I have worked on a few mid two thousand models. Not really all that impressed with the lack of attention to detail in the engineering and execution in many areas.

funny that they gave him a new car. thats the type of guy who sells the new car, and keeps driving the car he likes. Would have made more sense to completely restore the 1990 honda to like new status and give it back to him

according to my calculator, he put just under 62K on that car a year since he bought it in 96, or averaged about 170 miles a day, 365 days a year. Impressive

Of course, with a '90 Honda (and probably the new ones as well), one can still perform basic preventive maintenance such as checking fluid levels. Compared to many German makers, which have been busy eliminating simple ways to check transmission fluids or engine oil levels. A move that seems more designed to enhance dealer profit, than vehicle longevity.

Happy Motoring, Mark
