I had a 1977 Accord, bought new. When it got to 150k the engine was still fine and I was still on the original clutch!

But one day it basically broke in half. The chassis had rusted through at the firewall.

Like American cars, Japanese cars have always had their strengths and weaknesses.

Robbin, 300k is way beyond the norm for any car (except maybe those old Merc diesels). On the other hand, 100k, which used to be a big deal, is nothing to get excited about any more.

Well I am saying that I think most Hondas go into the 250s fairly regularly.

My Civic went to 289,000 and some dude gave me $500 bucks for it even though it was not running.

When I get may house paid off I was thinking about a new F150 with the aluminium body so I load them up with old consoles before I gut them for the tubes lol.

I think buying a used Honda or Toyota with 50k or less is a no brainer.

Have not been under a car for years and don't plan on doing it ever again.
