CraigsList Find of the Decade: 930,000 mile '95 Honda Civic

Posted Oct 1st 2007 6:31PM by Jonathon Ramsey



There's high mileage, and then there's this. A 1995 Honda Civic is for sale in Atlanta with, count 'em, 939,899 miles. That's 200+ miles a day. Every day. Including Sundays. For 12 years. It even has a Carfax report from when the car had 907,000 miles on it. According to the seller, the car runs like new, with no leaks, no noises, no oil burning, and not even a scratch on the body. In fact, the only blemish listed is that one of the dashboard lights doesn't work, and that's only sometimes.

The car is on its ninth timing belt, ninth water pump, and fourth clutch. But the engine and transmission are original, as are the floor mats. The car even comes with records. The most incredible thing isn't the mileage, though. It's how the owner put the miles on the car: driving on business trips from Atlanta... to Seattle... and San Francisco. We want to know what kind of business -- or what kind of boss -- makes a guy drive across the country and back, and then some, every single month for 12 straight years.

To paraphrase The Proclaimers, if you buy this car then you can drive a million miles and you can drive a million more...

Hmmm...original Engine and tranny...........intresting...

Nice! I find it hard to believe that after 12 year of ATL --> SanFran --> Seattle and then some, he didnt encounter one rock, or body damage...

Thats some sweet ass though

[Father Time]

And just think, if he had put in a K&N filter he would just about be at the end of their "MILLION MILE LIMITED WARRANTY"

Damn though, I would like to know what he did for a living.

Pizza boy?

Isn't it true that if you drive a million miles on your honda you get a brand new one free?

I wonder if Honda will do what Volvo did for that one guy who went 4 million in an older volve.

Gotta get energizer to sponsor the car, it keeps going and going and going....

[verothacamaro]

typical honda

hahaha

[Lil' Whitie]

a d series?

i had a 92 for like a month. it only had 165,000 miles and the think burned oil like there is no tomorrow. did some researh and found out that most d series start burning oil at around 150k...

[Cb7GHOST]

holy -!

One of my uncles work trucks has 890xxx on it. Orig motor/trans. It being a work truck, didnt get the treatment of this car though.

I find it hard to believe that the paint is in such supposed good shape. Highway driving isnt nice to the front end of a vehicle. But I can definitely see how the drivetrain lasted.

[JohnD1079]

Maybe he had one of those Bra things for the front. That would take care of the front.

But orig motor and tranny. I beleive it

[quickangel93]

Yea i found this out a cupple days ago. its up for sale on craigslist for 2300. the guy works for some company and puts on it like 200+ miles everyday. original motor and tranny, no rust.

he changed his

9th timing belt
9th water pump
4th clutch
does oil changed every 3k
changes tires when the wear out
inspection on time
all service records
never has been in a accident
no dents or scratches in the paint


that car is insane. and the coolest thing about it, its all stock. so hes not a ricer.

[cp[mike]]

very nice.

i was curious to see what would happen with that mileage when getting a used car value quote... to see if perhaps the mileage will make the car worth negative money lol. NADA just listed an "N/A" adjustment for that mileage, and Edmunds gave an error saying mileage cannot exceed 400k lol.
