A True Testament: 32 year old Accord with 380K miles! When Is It Time to Let It Go? 

The reason you hit one million subscribers is because people like to see a very competent and very honest mechanic. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely worth putting in the money. This is stupidly reliable at this point! Has easily life left to reach 500k miles

Last summer, a 1991 Honda Accord LX parked along my car on a Costco's parking lot. I chatted with the driver who happens to be the original owner. The car had about 907,000 miles on the odometer. That's his only car he bought new in his life so far. That was about two years after he graduated from college. He married a year later and then he had kids who grew up with the Accord. Now he sold two of his companies last year and finally retired. He's means to buy even supercars but still prefer to drive his old buddy. The car is still in great shape.

In 1992, the number of 1960 model year cars on the road was essentially zero. Yet old cars like this one aren't even an uncommon sight now. Quality really improved.

I worked with a guy that commuted in a 1986 accord. His odometer said 580k miles but he said it quit working 10 years ago. Actual mileage was somewhere around 750k.

My brother passed away in January. He loved this channel!!! We would just sit and eat and listen to your wonderful banter between you and Mrs.wizard. congrats on a wonderful channel

I still have my old 1990 cb7 accord. My parents bought it new in Nov 1989 and I bought it from them when I turned 16. Its NEVER left me on the side of the road... NOT ONCE. The closest it came was when the starter went out or the couple of times the battery got too old and didn't have enough juice to turn the starter. Since its manual I just push started it and carried on. Last year I drove it from Camarillo, CA to Jacksonville FL with not a single hiccup. Yes I have new cars and she doesn't get driven as much anymore. But she's been so faithful to me over the years that I just cant get rid of her. All these years later everything still works. EVERYTHING, a/c, heat, p/s, cruise, lights, seat belts (it has those stupid automatic seat belts that if you open the door while they are locked the belt tries to choke you but they sitll work). Nothing other than typical wear items have ever NEEDED to be replaced. That said it has had a ton of other things done that were done purely to satisfy my need to mod my vehicles.

I was a Toyota guy for the longest time, still am, but I bought a old 7th gen accord for a gas saver commuter. It’s my first Honda and I couldn’t believe how old it was and how solid the interior held up. No creaking loose or rattley plastic parts in this car. The seats felt solid and firm while still comfortable. Very smooth and quiet ride for 20 year old car, I was pretty blown away.

Honda really hit it out of the park with these 4th gen. Accords. I like the body styling of them too.

They lost their mind to get rid of this car it would be cheaper to fix the annoyances than dealing with a car note. Its a good back up car

The sound of that F22A1 motor starting takes me back to the most influential car in my life: 1992 Accord LX wagon with a 5 speed manual transmission. I bought that car with 240k miles in 2010, and sold it with 378k in 2013 after someone smashed in the rear tailgate in freeway traffic. I lived in that car, drove it across the US multiple times, and taught maybe a dozen people how to drive stick in it. In the end, the interior had no rips or tears and it only had minimal rust at the corner of the rear wheel wells. I replaced the clutch once when I bought it, the timing belt twice, and most of the money I ever spent on it was in tires. I learned so much about working on Hondas on that car, and it drastically shaped my life being able to trust in that vehicle to deliver me to whatever job I was doing during those years. To this day, I still miss my full-size spare inside that massive cargo space 😢

I bought my one owner 92 accord with 400k miles from an old grandpa. I changed out every bushing, rod, arm in the suspension. Did the usual tune up on the motor, coils, wires, spark plugs, filters. And man, it’s running smooth like hot butter.

The CB Accord was one of the best Hondas ever made. Quality cars.

The thing about it is: You've had the car for years and have kept up on the maintenance so you KNOW what you have. You COULD find another with MAYBE less miles (if it wasn't rolled back), BUT you may not know how it was kept>>oil changes, timing belts, etc. If it is is generally good condition and the model has a reliable history, it is worth keeping., if nothing more than a second car as he said.

Still driving my 1999 Accord 2.3 5 speed sedan! It has 366,000 miles and still runs and looks like new! One of the best cars made imo!

Mechanics like you are a gem and a half. The amount of dishonesty in the industry is appalling. I sent my car in for an alignment and the "mechanic" didnt know how to do it, so he just pretended. I asked for a alignment sheet to see what was misaligned and what was corrected, they said "the printer doesnt work" they tried to charge me, i refuse to pay for it because they didn't do anything. I told the owner to come drive the car with me and well see whos lying. He didn't want that and he told me to leave. I wrote a bad review and he acted like he has no idea who i was. Anyways, his shop eventually shut down and im sure i can see why. Dishonesty in this field only gets you so far.

I have a 1993 Honda Accord LX manual coupe with 364,000 miles. It has fresh paint rims and an exhaust. That's my baby and you'll always be my baby. Still drive it 100 miles a week. Not my daily but definitely my baby 👍

I remember when my dad got a 1991 accord 5-speed new. He was always a ford guy and this was his first foreign car. At the time he wasnt completely sold on Japanese cars but he was so disgruntled with American (80s) cars he gave it a try. He was so impressed he has bought nothing but Hondas and Acuras since '91 including a new CR-V last year.

It's obvious the owners don't suffer from vanity or peer pressure issues like many teenagers and a lot of adults. Just turn up the radio to get past the squeaks and moans of old age. Fix the brakes and drive it. Bravo on the million subscribers!

I had a similar experience with taking my '16 Tacoma to the dealership where I got it from. I took advantage of Toyota Care, which is complimentary oil changes and tire rotations for so many miles or so many months, whichever comes first. After that lapsed, I took it for a service and they said my entire power steering system would have to be replaced. They were trying so hard to get me in a new vehicle when there was nothing wrong with mine. I'm so tired of dealerships trying to get people out of their perfectly working vehicles to make a sale. I started changing my own oil after watching ChrisFix's videos. On a happier note, congrats on 1 millions subscribers, Wizard! The fact that people will ship their vehicles to you from all over the US just goes to prove how trustworthy you and your mechanics are.

I had an immaculate 1992 Accord. Two-door, manual. Not very many of them. Some lady t-boned me and killed it 😭

I laughed when he says there's a lot of rust around the rear wheels, you see trucks around here where a decent portion of the bed side is just gone

That old Honda should receive proper maintenance. If you want transportation, keep it alive and keep it. If you want fancy at least give that Honda to someone who actually wants transportation, not fancy. They'll be satisfied for many more years. In the early 1990s the Japanese as well as the European car manufactures peaked in terms of quality. Cars had very little to no electronics, mechanical components were engineered to last, repair ability was still taken into consideration in the design. I have given up on modern cars that'll hardly last past their warranty. I'm lucky enough to have laid my hands on a Mercedes W124 with the old 6 cylinder diesel engine recently. I'll keep that thing, go thru the whole drivetrain and suspension once and drive it for the rest of my life.

Hey Wizard, My buddy pulled a head off a Honda with over 500k and after measuring the cylinders found no measurable wear. The Japanese have the best metallurgy on earth in their engines. I'd love to see you do that on a show.

this is literally like the perfect car to do food delivery with because you aren't really concerned about the little annoyances. you just want the motor and the brakes to work.

I don’t think a 2024 Honda will make it to 380,000 miles. This was a different era

I see this car as extremely pretty. It's incredibly elegant in its simplicity and practicality, and its ruggedness suits it so well! It reminds me that I love my 1994 Camry more than many of the modern cars I've owned.

I love these old Honda's they're kinda of my thing nowadays. I have a couple of old Accords myself, I have a 95 and a 98 both 4 cylinders. The '98 I bought for 200 dollars when the transmission went out at 223k miles. I put a transmission in it, gave it a timing belt and water pump job and started driving it everyday. After about 10k miles, the bottom corner of the crank position sensor broke off and the bolt backed out and shredded the timing belt. At that point I pulled the powertrain back out and turned it into a custom build, F23 block with an H22 head and pistons from a K20A2, got a manual trans from a '97 and turned it into a 5speed, then I took the transmission back out and built it with some custom parts from synchrotech. It's my 215 hp daily driver now, which in my opinion is a nice little upgrade from the original 150hp F23A1, very fun to drive around and not too bad to work on.

1999 Toyota 4Runner. 513,000 miles and runs well. I’m asking myself the same question.

A modern day car would never outlast a vehicle of that generation

I had an LX like this in the light green. It was so sweet. Even after an accident, I drove it for a long while with EX dark green body panels. It was so much fun. My other car was a 1990nE30 BMW 325i, which I still have. Equal fun. Luckily, I still have a 1995 Civic EX with a B18, too. Those wishbone Hondas were some of the greatest vehicles ever made.

I still have mine from HS. I built it up auto to manual swapped. 2.2 out of a 94 prelude. Rear disc brake conversion from a 92-93 ex. It usually only sees Kansas cars and coffee and the occasional weekend drive now but I will never forget where it came from. My parents bought it a few years old. As a old lease car it still brings me a lot of joy driving it. It's usually the only cb at car events I'm at. Keep em going!

The early 90s accords are one of the most reliable cars ever made (imo). Even if something needs replacement, the parts are fairly cheap, and easy to install (and likely available in local junk yards). High mileage on them just means regular maintenance, nothing major. This was back in the days when Honda was trying hard to make a good impression.

Up here in New Brunswick, Canada, no car lasts 380,900 miles because of the salt air and the salt use on the roads in the winter. In the American Mid-West, the car has a few years left on it. High school kids would be happy with this car. Congrats on hitting 1,000,000 viewers, you're an honest shop and those far and few between, you deserve more viewers.

I owned an Accord, I loved that car, now I am a happy owner of a Lexus, I still keep my faithful and noble Cr-v 2008 Ex. I admire and respect Honda. I must be a little crazy but, I would repair it, including corrosion and paint, door weatherstripping, make it like new, I wouldn't care about the repair value, as long as I have this road warrior moving and looking like it did in its youth, but. Of course, it's just my opinion. Great video Wizard, thanks for doing it. Greetings from Chile

wow! 380k miles, manual transmission? definitely a keeper. rust issues can still be fixed. :) would love to see that car reach 1M miles. :)

As a 45 year old driving miles to work each day, I'd have that as my commuter in a heartbeat

When I met my wife in Flawrida in 1991, she had recently purchased a 1990 Accord EX 2 door, red with tan cloth interior, automatic. We drove it all over including to Colorado. Finally sold it when we lived in NH with 190k miles... still running strong!

My mother had a 1992 Accord she purchased new when my family PCSd home from Germany. She was still driving it in 2015 before she finally sold it. Had 400,000 miles on the odometer and my dad rolled the miles back several times over its life. They guesstimate it had over 600,000 miles on it. All she did to it was routine maintenance. She hit a dog or something in 2010 and broke the passenger side axel. Only significant repair she had the entire time owning the car. Since 1992 my family has exclusively owned Hondas due to their incredible reliability and dependability. I’m sure this Honda will make the next owner extremely happy especially with the manual transmission

My 1999 subaru forester L has about 387,000 miles on it and still driving like a dream. I drove in rain, mountain roads, snow , mud etc etc and it has never left me stranded.

I have a 93 SE Accord. It's a keeper!!! It's officially a classic car

My Mom drove an IDENTICAL car like that in the 90s. In fact if the VIN traces to Maine, and there's a paint chip on the left rear quarter panel near the trunk lid, and the rear bumper was replaced, you know the original owners!

I bought a 92 LX coupe from the auto auction (IAA) in April of 2020. It had 83k miles and was factory stock, one owner. The previous owner always took it to the Honda dealer locally and the last straw for him was the battery would die, the tail lights stayed on, turned out it was a plastic stopper on the brake switch fixed the issue. I've done new CV axles, PS pump, Alternator, AC compressor (R134a converted from the factory R12 unit, which had blown its seals) AC dryer, rear brake shoes, new tires, muffler and an intake manifold gasket set. Before to long its going to need a timing belt and water pump, but still a better deal IMO than a new car. Basically all the fixes I've done were repairing years of neglect by an owner that didn't understand cars.

I had a 1993 Accord EX and I loved that car. I wish I still had it!!

I love when people take care of cars like this. People today don’t appreciate what a gem of a car this Accord was. They surely don’t make them like they used to. I miss my 1995 Civic. I could get better mileage than the hybrids today, and the double wishbone suspension ensured plenty of smiles along the way. Today’s cars are like getting a shot of Novocain when you step into the driver’s seat. Just boring and uninspired. Great video

My 2008 Accord has 336,000+ & still runs strong.

This was my first car at 18 I had a green 91 5speed ex. I'm 32 now boy time flies and that car took me everywhere 🤣 I miss it

Those were my favorite years of the Accord 90-93! They looked so upscale back then!

Congratulations on a million subs Wizard, here's to many millions more!

Its a keeper! Back in May of 1990, I ordered from the Dealer an Accord EX 5sp in Hampshire Green. It arrived in mid August! I loved that car. I had it until live issues forced me to give it up. It had over 270k miles at the time. Best riding, best driving smoothest car I ever owned. These Accords 1990-1993 all rusted in the rear fender. Mine started just after the 5 year rust thru warranty expired. I was in NY/VT at the time. In 1998 with 130k miles, I confidently drove across county to Phoenix, where i lived for the next 13 years. The rust process stopped, but the brutal sun deteriorated the clear coat. If I could have kept the car, I would have. I got pretty excited when I saw the video thumb nail.. Car Wizard, Congratulations! You and Mrs Wizard have earned it!

I have a 1993 accord coupe EX-R (Canadian model). I swapped it with a JDM H22A engine, has full bolt ons, the engine year is a 1994... Few years ago i had it tuned on the dyno. It made 208 whp and 161 ft/lb at the wheels.. Pretty crazy when you really think about it.. the engine is 30 years old, the limiter is set at 8200 rpm (roughly 1000 rpm higher than the factory rev limiter). I beat the brakes off that car, it sees limiter every time i drive it. And 30 years later, its STILL running strong and making more power than it did from the factory. A testament to the build quality of Honda from the 80s through to the 2000s.

My wife has the exact same car with 260k miles. Same color, but still has the wheel covers. We just got the trans rebuilt at 250k after confirming excellent compression on the engine. She commutes 40 miles to work 5 days a week. It's a fantastic car and she is in love with it, and I don't blame her.

Make this a new High Mileage Hero and restore it

These old accords look better than the new ones.

Fixing an old car is much better for the environment than buying a new electric car.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Wizard for hitting such a milestone! You've earned it. After all, people would not watch if your content wasn't any good. I've been a channel subscriber for years, and have always appreciated your common sense approach to car repair, and your empathy toward your customers. I love your "buy this, not that" videos. I hope to see another one soon. Cheers!

That Honda is a companion warrior. I wouldn't be surprised to see it clock another 100k mi. Thanks Wizard.

I am the original owner of a 2015 Dodge Dart SXT with a 2.4-liter 6-speed automatic OD it has almost 355,000 miles with it well maintained with OEM parts

An honest mechanic shop is priceless

I had a mint 1990 accord ex coupe 5 speed. Interior, and exterior were perfect. Carpet was perfect. 241,000 miles and had plenty of life left when I sold it. Those CB accords are great.

Hondas and Toyotas of old were unstoppable. 👍🏼 Congrats on 1 million subs!

Wow 600 000 kilometers! Those cars was made to run forever!

Honda 4cyl cars last forever especially when you have a 5spd Manuel transmission. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers 👏 I subscribed 3 years ago and glad I did, keep up the great work Mr. and Mrs. Wizard.

Very solid video. This Honda Accord reminds me of my father's 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4-cyl work truck. It has about 160K miles on it and it's been in a few accidents, but it has no rust and it is mechanically sound. Cosmetically, it has some wear and tear on the interior and the clear coat is failing again on the roof and passenger side of the truck. At this point, I've told them that the best option is to just keep the truck running mechanically and not to worry much about the outside of it.

I'd say as long as the car is reasonably reliable and doesn't break down often, it's worth keeping as long as you don't spend more than a months worth of car payments every time it does have an issue.

My first car was a 91 Accord coupe that had the same body style and was a stick but had automatic seat belts. I bought it in the summer of 99 at 17 with a salvage title and 237,000 on the odometer. It burned a quart of oil a week and was quite rough but it was mine! I bought a new to me floor for the trunk since mine was missing and a passenger side view mirror that was from a salvage yard on the internet. My dad tried changing the valve stem seals to fix the oil consumption (it smoked like a train) but it didn’t so after Christmas break I brought it into my auto shop class in high school and we pulled the head and sent it out to be rebuilt. The machine shop owner and my shop teacher were friends and he came by after looking at the head and said I bet the rings are shot. He was right there was no tension left sky out came the motor and we overhauled it in class. Replaced the clutch and had the injectors rebuilt while I was in there. While putting it all back together my teacher had a heart attack in class while helping me reinstall the CV shafts and had quadruple bypass surgery the next day. My dad and I towed it the 8 blocks home and he finished it while I was at graduation rehearsal that Friday. Three months later I got tboned in an accident and totaled the car. I was sooo devastated after all the work I had put into it. Man I miss that car!

I had an 92 coupe none VTech2.2L 4cyl motor 5 speed manual, lowered , it was quite torquey ( when it was raining it would just be sitting still just spinning tires all the way to the 3rd gear, 1st then power shift to 2nd , and 3rd gear ) but not much power at high RPM , a Civic 1.6L single overhead cam Vtech motor with 7k red line had always been beating me right after the 3rd gear was engaged , Always wanted to swap my motor for H22A but end up growing out of it -Fun times , went through 1 transmission other than that NO ISSUES WHATS SO EVER , engine NEVER smoked , never burned oil , bought it with 100K miles and sold it probably 10 years later with 225k miles for the same price i bought it for, JS,, LOL . Nice quality vehicle , thanks to Japanese engineering !

This channel has an old school local TV vibe. I love it.

I love these videos of high mileage cars. Japanese cars of the 90s were legendary for their reliability. At the end of the day, it's all relative and depends how far the owner is willing to go. I got a '99 Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero) I've had since new that's currently got ~332,500 miles on it, and since it's now 25 years old, it'll be coming home with me soon. I rebuilt the engine at 312,500 miles by choice, because that's half a million kilometers, and it also gave me the opportunity to do some upgrades with custom parts and dress up the engine bay, but the transmission, transfer case, differentials and CV axles are all original to the vehicle. It's lived in a dry climate it's entire life, so no rust. Over the years, it's certainly gone through bulbs, filters, timing belts, serpentine and drive belts, water pumps, coolant hoses and clamps, thermostats, plugs/wires, injector seals, valve cover gaskets, PCV valves, power steering hoses, tires, pads and rotors, brake hoses every 5 years, CV boots and U-joints. But those are all wear and tear items, all things considered. Repairs included a passenger side exhaust manifold, driver's window regulator and shifter bushings. It also got a suspension upgrade with an ARB/OME kit with Koni adjustable shocks. Minor "annoyances", if you call it that, were only changed because they bothered me. These included interior grab handles on the B pillars (sun discoloration), door weatherstrips, door lock knob surround bezels, brake pedal pads, lug nuts, interior door handle mounting screw caps/covers, and more recently, all five door latches because they've gotten noisy. Sure, it had some cosmetic paint work done due to rock chips and door dings, as well as countless detailing over the years. Certainly could've retired it by choice long ago, but even after 25 years, I still enjoy it. I hope the owner of this Accord with a stick shift also enjoys it for many, many more years to come! I love how clean the engine bay is with no leaks, dirt of dried oil anywhere.

Built in Marysville, OH.

My first car was my mom's 1991 Honda Accord EX in white that I bought from her in high school for $500. I drove it for 13 years until it was wrecked for the 2nd time (neither time was my fault). The car was still in near-mint condition with 330K when it was wrecked for the final time (early 2020). Nearly everything on it was still stock or OEM (though it was starting to get more difficult to find OEM parts, especially interior pieces, as some of the plastics did brittle a bit). I'm not at all surprised by how well the interior in this example held up. The quality of the interior of these cars was top-notch and incredibly well-made. It remains the best cloth interior I have ever experienced to this day. Above all, what a well-made reliable car that actually wasn't too bad to look at or drive either (the one exception here was the brakes, as the stock ones were very poor by modern standards). My 1991 had drums in the rear, which I kept stock, but I upgraded the front discs and pads to Akebono which made a very noticeable difference.

I was a mechanic in my previous career and enjoy the straight-up, honest videos on this channel! A lot of people who are not mechanics can learn a lot here.

I'm at 432,000 on my 98 Nissan Frontier and I continue to fix it when it breaks. It sees 5000 miles a year now and I have a budget of $500 a year for parts to keep it going. That budget has been in place since 2010 and I have rarely had to exceed it. It never sees a shop unless it needs tires or an alignment.

These CB7 Accords and similarly XV10 Camrys are timeless and bulletproof. There are still LOTS of em on the road when newer ones are gone, and they're just modern enough that people still WANT to keep maintaining and driving em.

I had one of these accords back in the mid-late 90s. 92 EX Coupe 5 speed. I used to take it to the drag strip back when import racing was still a fairly new thing. Thought it would be fun to enter the burnout contest at an event and spun a bearing keeping it near redline until both tires blew out (I won at least, lol). Drove home from MD to NY with the engine knocking away and put hundreds of miles on it that way even after that, including an autocross event, and a trip to Atlanta for Nopi Nationals, until I had a h22 from a Prelude swapped in. That original 2.2 just wouldn't give up!

We still have a 91 audi 200 20v turbo avant (also a sedan) in the family. It has almost 450k. It has been modded over the decades. About 12 years ago it ran 12.1 in the quarter mile (at that point it had 3xxk miles). She still runs really well. We live in the rust belt and it has taken its toll. The rockers are shot now. They will be replaced. Still has the original engine and trans. Id assume this Honda will be able to keep racking up the miles. I would bet this honda has had less electrical issues than the audi though (if youve owned a 200 20v you know....instrument cluster, lights, etc). Basic maintanence goes a long way to keep these older cars on the road!

I have a 1990 and it has been very good to me. It still drive so nicely too. It's a very fun little car

I vividly remember when The car wizard appeared for the first time in Tyler’s video. The dear caught in the headlights look was absolutely priceless!

I got one of these 1991 Accords, they are built very well. At this point it's a restoration project, but nothing wrong with it. You see less and less on the road. I appreciate the wizards honesty when it comes to cars, one of the reasons people dislike garages so much is how they lie to you just like the audi a4 garage.

My 2013 accord gauge cluster pretty much looks the same except better lighting of course but the placement of everything is pretty much the same…I love that about Honda’s everything stays familiar throughout the generations

Car Wizard's voice is so therapeutic. Congrats on one million!

I had a 1996 Accord. Bought it from a friend with 198,000 miles. $1300 and came with new plugs, wires, rear brakes and a battery, all done the day before. There wasn't a single straight panel on it. Drove it two years and only needed wiper transmission, front brakes, and a speed sensor. Sold it to a coworker for $1000 at 210k and 6 months later it had 260k. I asked him how it was treating him. His exact words: "Dude! The cruise control only goes up to 100, so I get on interstate every morning at 4am, adjust the seat so my leg is comfortable while my foot pins the gas to the floor. This car goes 130mph for 50 miles straight!" I don't actually doubt that, because he had two jobs and being constantly pressed for time, drove like a madman. Also, I got it to 135 one night. Dumbest thing I've ever done, but the car took it in stride. He quit after that, and idk how long the car lasted after that. But it had to be the most hilarious thing to behold a faded, dented, ugly Accord with no grill passing you on interstate like as if you were stopped. 😂 Man, I miss that thing now.

I'm driving my 1993 Honda Accord SE and it's my favorite car out of my collection.

I've got '94 Plymouth Acclaim that's just about to hit 100k miles after 30 years. It's not built to the same level as a Honda or Toyota of the time, but still runs and drives great. I've used the car over the last 5 years as an opportunity to learn about car repairs and have an inexpensive ride until I was out of school and had saved up some money. I'll probably buy a new Miata this year - so that I don't have to worry about getting repairs done to get to work on Monday. However, I'll probably keep the car until it rusts out and stops driving as a challenge and in the spirit of keeping it going as long as I can.

Hello from Finland. Thanks for good videos

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Wizard! Great Job, My 06 Sienna has 319k and counting! I am doing a review on it soon!

Sold my '91 CB7 two years ago after 3 years of ownership. Completed my first timing belt job on that car and got a/c ice cold. Zero fluid leaks after changing a few gaskets. Was a bit uncomfortable but was fun to drive (5 speed) and nostalgic for me. 150k something miles with very little rust!

Appreciate an honest mechanic. Not many nowadays. Still remember when a dealership mechanic recommended a transmission seal when my car was at 40k miles and transmission fluid leaking. I refused the repair and he said it was dangerous.😂 Still driving on that same seal at 130k miles no issues.

That’s a keeper. Here in Pennsylvania that’s a cream puff. I would do some basic stuff to make last longer. Gave it a good cleaning & tint those windows

Fix just the breaks. We had a 92 Accord just like this one. The transmission went at 390,000. The engine still ran so good I was willing to put another transmission in it but our mechanic talked me out of it becuase the mileage was soo high. I still wonder if i might be driving it today had I fixed it.

This generation of Honda accord is one of the most reliable vehicles ever to to be sold... I have seen hundreds of these with over 300k that run perfectly, Including my old roommate who had a champagne 91 sedan with 425k... the body kept getting damaged and he literally bought another that was wrecked just to keep putting his car back together... I believe there are several of these that have gone over 1 million miles

I got an 04 accord with a 5 speed manual and a 2.4l 4 cylinder with 409k miles and still running well... has heat, ac, bluetooth audio, everything I really need in a car... some rust yes but aside from basic maintenance items it will probably continue to run for a while With that being said, I do have mechanical experience and do all the jobs on it myself which definitely brings the cost of repair down... for someone that hates working on cars or just isn't willing to, I could see why it would be worth it to buy a newer car, but for me it's fun to fix it and it is also a learning experience for me

I remember my 92 cb7. Great car. Very simple and great daily. If they sell it, it would be a great commuter car for someone that can do their own maintenance.

Congrats on the million subscribers. I am the original owner of a 2004 Honda Element with 230k plus miles and drives like new. No rust or dents. The bolsters on the front driver’s seat are worn but I have Honda Element seat covers for the front. Unfortunately Honda cheaped out on the seating. I service it routinely. Simple jobs I do myself and leave the more difficult jobs to the experts. Absolutely love the practicality of this car. Replacing sway bar bushings is like a 30 minute job if that and the bushings are cheap. Thank you so much for the video.

Having a high mileage car is a treat. I took my 06 cobalt to the dealership and the service advisor asked me the miles. I told him at the time 341,000 miles. He was shocked and said "how many?" I repeated myself 341,000 miles... couldn't help telling him, "bet you never would expect a cobalt to last that long."

Oh man, this car. My very first car I bought with my own money was a 1991 Accord EX with a 5pd manual that was traded in by an old lady at a Toyota dealership my brother use to work at. I was planning on swapping the engine with at H22 engine from a Prelude but then I had my first child and all the money, free time, and attention went to her instead, lol.

I just sold my 1996 Odyssey I bought new. It had 340k miles on it still running great. I also had a 1990 Civic Hatchback with 310k miles, which I traded in for a new 2016 HR-V. I also have a 1989 Integra LS with 240k miles, and a 2007 Pilot with 162k miles, along with the aforementioned HR-V. I love Honda products!

Mrs Wizard, take a bow. The presentation standards are excellent.

I have an '04 Honda Accord EX with the 5sp manual trans, it has 270k miles on the clock and will go another 500k miles. It hasn't skipped a beat, doesn't burn oil, smooth quiet ride with plenty of horsepower, and still gets the EPA's MPG's. The only issue I've had with it is the dreaded Honda paint peel, but I fixed that myself cheap with spray paint and you cannot tell the factory paint from the repair areas. It's all bright and shiny and reflects everything off of it like a mirror. Love my Honda!

Happy 1 Million subs Mr. and Mrs. Wizard!! I am so happy for you guys, been a long time sub from 300K and here you are few years later doing your thing. Just wishing all the best and continues success!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤🥰🥰
