Honda gave him a new car. They got a lot of publicity and it was really a big deal as well as it should be and in Maine no less where winter can destroy any car. He did all his own maintenance.

    I have an ‘07 CR-V with 225k miles. Drives perfectly with minimal maintenance. Replaced the starter last year (was original), and recently had to replace the power steering rack, and alternator. As long as you keep fresh oil, it’s perfect.

    Friend of mine in college had an early 90s Accord with 350k. He never changed the oil on it either. We're talking a solid two years. He ended up giving it to someone for free who as of 2015 was still was driving it.

    I had a 2003 Buick Century that I bought new. After 15 years at 230,000 miles it got totalled in a rear end collision. I had no serious issues with it before then. I wonder how much longer it would have ran if it wasn't for the collision.
