Is there a big difference in mileage on an engine and on the car's body?
I'm looking to buy a used car from a friend of mine for $1200. It's a 1998 Honda Civic with a manual transmission, 1.6i engine but the car's body has a total of 273K miles and the engine has 65K. What's the big difference? Is the car worth buying and how long will it last me?
There are no magic ways to know how long an "old" car may last, a year or a month, or even a week. That car is 16 years old, the engine has been changed but how many miles are on that engine, was it rebuilt or just swapped out with another old engine? Many parts will wear out due to age, but exactly when will always be a mystery.
- Difference between driving in a big car and a small car? So I've been practice driving with my mom's Honda pilot. What is different in a small car when driving. Do I have to pull that ebreak when parked on hill and downhill. I'd have to pay this driving ed place to use their car and a sponser. Also i'm so frustrated I can't get parallel parking at all.
- My 2007 Honda Element has a mint body and interior and under 64,000 miles but due to its age it needs about 4k in work, here is the list New tires, front struts with dust boots and bump stops, rear shocks, alignment, water pump, universal belt, front lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, timing side engine mount, rear brakes, flush and bleed the system and emergency brake adjustment. Should I do the work and keep it due to low miles and good eyeball condition?
- Honda owners: is there a difference in top speed between 4 speed and 5 speed element? My car is an 03 auto awd ex. I'm just curious, what top speed before drag effect comes into Affect? Can it achieve over 100 mph? I've heard that it can do 1-10 but I'm not sure whether that's for the 5 speed or the automatic bc the extra gear makes a difference in my opinion.
- Is there a difference in insurance for the same car but different years? I want either a 1999 honda civic ex or 2000 honda civic ex. Is there a difference in insurance between the two cars?
