Mileage to ownership period?
Hi, I don't post much here but I figured I'd post something in the right forum for once.
I'm driving an 03 LX with 42000 (roughly) kilometres on it. I've kept good care of it and have yet to experience a problem.
In this thread I was hoping to get an idea of where everyone else is at with their Civics and how much distance they've put it through during the years.
Come ennnn, let's GO!

Rep Power: 309 I could not find the 1 year thread. At 1 year I was at @ 22K miles. Had and oil leak (oil pan gasket and special washers used to fix) Also noticed "residue" near in/out fittings on steering rack. (they tightened them) Also the black trim below passenger wiper was warped and they replaced it.
My average is about 400+ miles per week, (use it for work and pleasure) Has been very close to perfect for me.

Rep Power: 0 Wow, so I'm still relatively low eh?
I'm thinking I can keep it under 60 000 by the time the end of the lease rolls around. I'll probably buy it out and sell it...hopefully I can make a bit seeing as the buyout is something like 8-9k.

Bought in August of 2001 with 3 miles on it.
Now it has 108,000+ miles.
Other than the auto transmission, motor mounts, 2 master window switches, a loose fuel line connection, headlight harness, rattling exhaust pipe, wheel bearing, and catalityc convertor, its been serving me well.

2001 LX Sedan 5 speed. Bought 05/30/2001. 122k miles.
The only problems I've had are a burnt up headlight harness 6 months before the recall and 1 blown shock at 100k miles. Also, the SRS light keeps coming on. I keep resetting it, but it keeps coming back. I haven't had time to take it to a Honda dealer to get them to tell me what the code is. It got hit with hail, but I never fixed it. I tell people that its like the dimples on a golf ball; it makes me fly straighter.
