A testament to our Accords.

a good owner makes the car last forever...cause the car knows you been devoted to the her/him and they will be hard working little toys!!! taking to any destination without fail!

Pretty awesome. That car looks freakin mint too!

I had a 2002 Mazda B4000 pickup that I got from my dad and I sold it last summer with 430 000km on it.

My Accord just rolled 220k KM when I traded it, and I bought a wrecked one with a salvage title that ran and drove and only had 182k KM on it. That thing was such a waste of a car because it was so clean, but got smashed in the quarter panel.

so mines almost just broken in 190000Kms (118000miles) says google

370,000 miles. and 137whp...Not too shabby huh?

Just wanted to share that the CB is still chuggin' withOUT the standard issue rust spots.









312k and counting. ^^

our cb7 doesnt look that nice and we are sitting at just over 134k miles.... I am happy to see these cars will last that long

These cars will last a life time.

They are so repairable that you still have a choice of 2nd had parts, aftermarket or originals. Parts are still plentiful for a 20 plus yr old car!

The greatest advantage of owning this car is all the faults/repairs have been encountered, diagnosed, documented and solved. So saving $$$$$ is possible.

Brand new (or newish) cars that develop a check engine light or problematic symptom (no one has yet documented and solved or posted on the web for DIY) means you run to the dealer and deposit your $$$$$ in their bank account.

Many have been destroyed prematurely in my opinion because the external panels have been left out of the "maintenance" picture (accumulating rust, dents and deteriorating paint). Yes, after 20 yrs the body becomes a repair/maintenance item.

Future repairs are then evaluated on how the car LOOKS (and emotionally FEEL) and if it is worth keeping longer. An ill maintained body to most owners would result in not fixing it and thus accumulate the repairs (till its too much for them or anyone to restore). The car then gets junked unecessarily.

Most would find it easier (emotionally) and cheaper to replace an engine with transmission (on a shiny straight body) than the opposite (fixing the body on a car with good engine and transmission)

The exterior really represents a huge % of the pleasures of owning this accord (or any car for that matter). A poor exterior really removes MOST of the pleasures of owning one.

Put the money/effort on the exterior (fix rust, change dented/rusted panels) before modding and bragging on speed etc and this car will pay you back with alot of pleasurable driving experience and countless $$$ saved with zero depreciation and through successfull DIY being made possible through money saving knowledge of CB7Tuner and the web.
