What is the lifespan of a 2009 Honda Accord v4?
It has 110,000 mi on it. I'm afraid the car will shut down on the highway
If the car has been properly maintained and it drives well with no apparent faults it should be good for double that mileage. Honda make very good cars. If you are worried about breakdowns join a breakdown organisation. It's AAA in the US if I recall correctly.
Honda engineers some of the best quality engines on the planet. As long a Honda is well and properly serviced and maintained it can easily last 300k miles or more. Has the previous owner properly maintained the vehicle? If they have they should be able to show you proof of all service and maintenance receipts.
Just buy a AAA membership for about $65 a year. As long as you have a cell phone with you, it does not make any difference if you break down. A wrecker will only be a few minutes away any time any place and any day.
The tow or fix is free and wrecker guy usually throws in a free ride home.
It should go another 100,000
My nephew owns my parents' old 1999 Honda Civic and it is on its 3rd head gasket and still going.
The FIRST thing you should do when examining ANY used car is to open the glove box and look for the death certificate attached to the inside of the glove box door. If you find one, it will tell you EXACTLY how many more miles the car will go before it dies. If you DON'T find that certificate, it means that NOBODY knows exactly how long a used car will last. It could run for another 100k miles, or it could blow up in your driveway tomorrow morning.
There's no such car. V4s are found in boats. You should be able to go for another 40k miles before parts need replacing.
If yr honda sounds like an old banger, buy a nissan
- Will my car's lifespan prolong if I used it only once every 2 or 3 days? I have a 2013 Honda Fit and I used it only once every 2 to 3 days for a distance of only 5 to 6 miles…
- 2009 Honda Fit or 2009 Honda Civic? My grandma is getting a new car. She has had a black 1995 jetta for years now. She wants to get a honda. What would you think would be good for an old lady? Should it not be a honda?
- What are some performance mods I can add to my 09' Honda Civic Si without hurting the lifespan of it too much? I will be commuting 50mi. Each way once college starts this summer so I won't be able to add any sort of turbo/supercharger. I'm planning on getting an intake, throttle body, and headers. Just wondering if I can do anything else besides those listed ^ :)
- Where is the cabin air filter located in my 2009 Honda Accord? The owners manual says it needs to be serviced but It does not say how to find it. Says let dealer do it. Anyone know?
