Car died today

[visualpoet]

How many miles did you have on it? How many are on your dad's Sentra? Basing your decision to never own a Honda on your experience with two vehicles is asinine. I've had cars made by several manufacturers (Toyota, Nissan, Dodge, Ford, GM, AMC) and I have been the most impressed with my Honda. Did you buy both of yours new and then take care of them the way they should be? It's not fair to denounce Honda for abuse and neglect that was done to the car before you got it. Maybe you shouldn't ever buy another used vehicle.

you seem like a domestic car guy, anyways.

but all of our cars still run...

x2 , my brother 87 accord still runs , and it hasnt been driven in like three years , he had it on the road for like 7. I guess it all depends on how you drive and how you take care of the car

Third time's a charm.

X2. I have a 95 Mustang that has 149K and it runs fine. My CB has 265K and runs fine. If you look at the total lifecycle cost of the Honda versus the Mustang, the Honda wins. Mechanical items will wear over time and things must be periodically checked and replaced. The big factor is the maintenance/replacement/lifecycle cost. Our cars are at the end of it "usable life" and if you record the $$$ required to keep it operating, it is considerably less compared to other vehicles.
Before I knew about life-cycle costs, I bought a volvo XC90 (06) brand new. Nice price, but maintenance costs are killer. (ever tried changing oil in one of those?)

If you drive your 18year old car like a 2008, some of those worn components will give.
It's your choice and I wish you well, Law, but I dont think you are looking at the whole picture. MHO...

By the way, were any of these two hondas new? If not, what did the last guy do with respect to maintenance?

Depends how the car was taken care of

I killed my first CB at 110K miles... oil problems stemmin from being dropped too low

This new one... since I sorted out all the motor swap issues it runs like a top

Thats the key

I bet u had some shit to fix u kept putting off... or u havent been keepin up w/maintenance... somethin

Cars dont just die, esp. CBs

agreed, with proper maintenance + repair, and being ON TIME with them, any car should be able to go the distance.

well, i shouldnt say any, but most.. especially a honda/toyota

[texasvtak]

funny how my dads sentra lasted longer SINCE ITS STILL RUNNING! nissan and toyota pwns honda.


soooooo

I am the furthest thing from a Honda fanboy and I still think youre pathetic.

[h22sparkle]

Aside from my hondas they barely died i had to try and keep killing it off. But when it died i was there for it in the end. You just gotta keep doing your part.

Talk to it wash it keep it clean make sure it eats. And at the slightest cough or murmur stay on it like flies to shit and it will take care of you. I was gonna get a nissan 240 but what can i say the neon with a heart of sonic gold owns me.

[Flatline]

i had a nissan 300zx.... that car died. i loved it. but it died. owned an acura legened. it ate 2 trannies. i wouldn't get another Legened but im not going to say i will never own an acura.


You decision is based on your own lack of an open mind. but whatever. get a kia as it was siad before. im sure it'll be the best car you ever had.....



and 460sx.... props on the sig. Now i must watch that movie.

[samuri88]

so is the car for sale?

[doughboy415]

wow my 16 year old power steering pump just died, what a cheap peice of crap,lol. How many other car brands can claim some of the things our accords have done. I bought mine brand new in 1992 done all scheduled maintenence mine is still going going strong,except for the power steering pump just dying. you probably didnt do anything but drive it and dog it,so dont blame honda blame yourself.

x2. Well put.



Just give up on all Hondas because -ALL OF YOUR CARS- (All 2 of them) took a dump on you. Thats a perfect thread to make in a Honda based community.
