Those are actual miles on my 29 year old Biscayne SS.
It's been an amazingly reliable car and if I'd just kept driving it, there'd be fewer things wrong from sitting around.
The oil pressure guage is marked wrong. The sender for my engine is a 0-80 psi calibrated sender, so 30 = 40 and 60 = 50. So it's actually reading 35 psi here not 20-something.
95,500 on the current one (2006 Honda Accord).
ReplyDeleteThe one before it (1990 Honda Accord) got up to 291,520 before the head gasket blew in September of 2017. I sold it my mechanic for $300: he said he was going to put a replacement engine in it, and I’ve seen that car on the road once since then.
The one before that (1983 Honda Accord) got up over 180,000 before I benched it in favor of the 1990, which I got a great deal on. The 83 was later hit in the parking lot of my apartment complex by some woman whose boyfriend was teaching her to drive, and got signed over to the towing company.
My 83 GMC Caballero is showing just over 155K. I bought it four years ago with 124K original miles, out of a wrecking yard as a builder. It was a one owner rig, I had to get the transmission rebuilt and I knew the lady who's Grandfather originally owned I found out later.
ReplyDeleteI recently took it on a 300+ mile round trip and with the V6 it still got 19MPG on the way down.
