Can a 30 year old Honda be driven 80 miles in one go?
I plan on being out of town tomorrow and I wondered if I could do so in my 1987 Honda.
How would we know? How far do you typically drive it? Does it overheat?
Check all the fluids before you go. Make sure you got engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid and brake fluid. When your driving keep an eye on the temperature gauge it should not go further then half-way.
80 miles? Really
As long as it is well maintained and has no obvious faults it should be capable of 500 miles in one go.
Of course it can, provided it's been maintained properly ( can you see a pattern forming) ?
Any car, be it 1 year old or 30 years old, will not survive an 80 mile drive if it lacks oil and water.
We have no idea what condition your car is in.
What condition is it?
I could get into my 1952 Pontiac and head out on a 1500 mile trip and not worry about it
If you have to ask, it might be a good idea to get a rental car.
Before you start it pop the hood and pull the oil dipstick and check the level of the oil. Add if necessary. Check the rad or the overflow tank if it has that and see if you can see liquid in ther. If you can you are fine. Hopefully the brakes have been changed. And the ashtray emptied and you are good to go. 500 miles a day if you have to.
That depends on its condition and how well it has maintained. I just drove my 55 year old Ford 3,600 miles cross country and back in 10 days.
- 1980 honda cb750 insurance cost for 18 year old? I'm planning on getting a honda cb550-750 from 1970-1980 to turn into a cafe racer. Without doing any quotes, can anyone give a reasonable estimate on insurance cost? It won't be daily driven, little miles per year, and is over 25 years old. Also I'm 18, but can it be insured under my father and I can still use it?
- Is it normal for someone to still drive a 20-year-old car? I still see dozens of 20-year-old Hondas and Toyotas every day. Is it a Japanese car thing to last that long or is it normal? I want to get a 20-year-old car soon.
- If one or two ISP's ban a site and raise prices, can a new one rise up and compete? Why? Why not? What about Honda/Toyota? Or ' MCI & Sprint muscling AT&T aside? Anyone remember Nucor Steel? Each of those took advantage of very different situations, each with seemingly impossible odds. Thing is, they were all LEGALLY allowed to compete. How about here?
- How can I negotiate a 2 year old car model? I'm in the market to buy a new car but I saw the new 2018 Honda Fit are out. I also saw the dealership had a 2016 Honda Fit LX, it is priced at 16k. If a new 2018 Honda Fit with Honda sensing standard starts at 16k, how much should I even get a 2016 base model with no Honda sensing? I know 16k for a 2 year old Model is crazy but what's the lowest can I negotiate for? 10k? 12k?
