I got this car over three years ago for $750 and it is still going. Sadly, it might be at its peak...the previous owner left it sitting outside for a year here, 8 months there, through all of Michigan's weather. Poor baby....I know it wants to keep going, but I am ready to move on to another one that wasn't abused.

I've replaced the tires, an axle, shocks, struts, and some other odds and ends. It just had the odds stacked up against it with its previous lifestyle.

I know that if someone felt like investing more money into it, it would keep on keepin' on....but now the power steering is gone, there's a fuel leak, and I am ready to upgrade. By upgrade, I mean I found a 96 with 200+ miles on it that runs like new!
Not all Hondas travel 100,000 miles and beyond. Your experience may be different.
