Kyle23 04-06-2005 03:53 PM

thats untouchable for about another 8 years

mrchowmein 04-06-2005 04:01 PM

if that person the civic every day for the last 4 years, he woulda drove 171 miles a day

Octane Joe 04-06-2005 04:15 PM

they are asking WAY to much for that car!

Gangsta Dave 04-06-2005 04:26 PM

damn that is crazy. I just read somehwere on here the engine is built to last about 250k. and yeah that is to much for the car.. it has seen way better days

QBoi 04-06-2005 04:33 PM

original tranny? people have had their tranny fail on them in 30k miles :eek:

phydo 04-06-2005 04:37 PM

I've only got 103k on mine and it's an 03.. looks like he's got me beat. I have an auto tranny, in regards to the post above, and I usually rev it to about 4000-5000 rpms and I haven't had any problem. I also do most of my cruising on a highway though going about 80 hitting about 3200 rpms in 4th, I think.

cubanmike26 04-06-2005 04:41 PM

^^Yup...Only Honda...

82801BA 04-06-2005 05:36 PM

Good to buy the car and complete mod it, I guess....

manahoonie 04-06-2005 06:37 PM

makes me feel better. yesterday, i passed 49000 in my 02 lx auto sedan

Nodnero 04-06-2005 06:42 PM

Shjt. Im not even at 20,000 on my 02.

tinman 04-06-2005 08:15 PM

Good swap candidate. Yes, the D17 has a design life of 250,000 miles. But that means that it SHOULD run that long. This also means that properly cared for it could run much longer.
I'm also wondering about the 5 speed..... I'd love to get 250,000 miles out of my car with the original engine/tranny.

Lets see.... I average about 5k a year.... I somehow don't think I'll have the car 50 years OR live to be 91!!

Civic_Racer9 04-06-2005 08:20 PM

holy ****.....is it even possible? he got 250k w/in 3 years.....therefore 230miles / day HOLY SMOKE....230miles / DAY WTF!!!!!

civic01vtec 04-06-2005 08:25 PM

goddamn, i thought i had alot with 53,000 on my 01

CuRiOuSfIsH 04-06-2005 08:28 PM

damn, a lot of you guys dont drive the vic much! I would also like to see my car up in the 200,000 mark. For me, it's 12-13k a year so I'm getting there haha.

hotrodcivic2004 04-06-2005 08:38 PM

i got 36,650 and i thought i had a lot lol

silver02coupe 04-06-2005 08:45 PM

Ive had my 02 Ex for about 9 months and have driven it only 3k miles.When i had my 99 i put around 1500 miles on it just learning how to drive. Sometimes, i would drive around the beach area ( Seal Beach, Huntington Beach) for about 200 miles at a time. The total number of miles on my 02 is about 18,500 and i doubt ill ever see 200k+ miles . My 99 had 90000 about this time of last year, and i thought that was a lot. Tranny going out at 30k? Well, maybe on a Chevy or Ford.

tricky 04-06-2005 08:53 PM

Does anybody not drive there damn cars..haha...I've got an 01 with about 130,000k, and it feels as good as the day I bought it, with the exception of a couple minor clutch squeeks

Al Gore FTW 04-06-2005 08:55 PM

thats just insane. i thought i was drivin a lot because i had 23239 miles on it at the one year mark (feb 10th), and im now about to hit 30k. thats insane though.

MiamiUgen7 04-06-2005 09:04 PM

damn! i wonder if that is the original engine? when i had my old 4thgen with about 210k miles on it, it had 3 different engines in it to get it to that mileagel. that sure would be somethin if the d17 went that long with all original internals and engine block.

Mishkautkin 04-06-2005 09:10 PM

it is just misspelled, i thinkt here is an extra digit there.

Mike4831 04-06-2005 09:59 PM

How the hell is that possible?

Mike4831 04-06-2005 10:01 PM

249933/4=62483.25

62483.25/365=171.19 miles a day.

mb28 04-06-2005 10:17 PM

My 02 civic lx has 79,875 miles.

Blk4blk2K1 04-06-2005 10:48 PM

01 LX 109K...drive it like u stole it!

Kubias 04-06-2005 11:26 PM

02 LX about to turn 60k on it. Got it in Sept. 2004 at 36k.

So thats 60k - 36k = 24k / 7 Months = 3,428 miles a month / 30 days a month = 114.00 miles a day

Or something like that.

Dlmille 04-06-2005 11:32 PM

that's a lot of miles, I've only got 14,000 on my 04 vic bought in 01/04. Just think how much that guy would have spent on gas if it was at current prices.

Hahaha! Just think of how much that guy would have spent on gas had it been a ford excursion! He could have paid to keep all the members on this board in gas for a year! :rofl:

DaddyFatSacks 04-07-2005 11:12 AM

My 01 EX has 42,000, I got it in June of 01. Still drives good, no problems but a soft clutch (even new) and had front struts replaced under warrenty.

Mrs014dr 04-07-2005 11:19 AM

On my 01 lx sedan I have 101,250 miles on mine. I bet no one can top that.
