How long can a Honda Civic last?
I'm thinking about buying a used 2001 Honda Civic but it already has 201000 miles on it, does anyone know how long these cars last?
They're supposed to be reliable cars, but that is a lot of miles for any car to have. Unless it is dirt cheap and that's what you're looking for, I would pass.
There's no exact number. If that car has been driven gently and properly maintained, it could have another 100K left in it. On the other hand if it's been abused and/or neglected it could die tomorrow. Your best bet is to have a good mechanic look it over before giving the seller any money.
Could last you another 100000 could last you 10000. Usually cars with high mileage the head gasket goes out first
Any car, no matter the make, with 201,000 miles has just about reached the end of it's usable life. The electrics, suspension parts, exhaust system, and many other parts are close to being worn out. I would not advise buying this car.
The most a civic has lasted is 400,000 so you have a chance to having atleast 300,000 just maintain it right and good.
With just about everything, it lasts as long as you are willing to throw money at it. At this kind of mileage, it depends on how long you willing to spend money on repairs.
- How long will my Honda shadow 600 last? I just bought a 1995 Honda Shadow VLX 600. It has 24 thousand miles on it, got it for 1500$. It has no problems, no leaks, clean, no rust, been garage kept, regular oil changes, runs like a spanked monkey. Now i'm wondering if it will make 5000 more miles, or 30,000 more. What do bikes regularly make it to?
- How long do you think a Honda Elite 50cc scooter last? I found a 1998 honda elite on craigslit in pretty good condition. Its pretty old but seems like it runs well. I'm not sure how many miles are on it but how many do you think it runs? How many miles should it be able to run*

- Cracked top of Honda engine block. Looks repaired but how long will this last? Bought a used car 1 year ago. It runs fine and no problems. Took the car it for an oil change and mechanic noticed a leak. He took off the oil pan and found this. Oh the joys of buying a used car… Looks repaired but how long will this last? Honda quoted me $6000 to repair it… Can I keep running the car like this? Thanks Dan! This is a photo taken from the top. Timing chain to the right
