      I can agree with you on that one.

My mom got tired of him driving the same car for over 20 years and my dad would say that he'll buy a brand new one when this one dies.
      Then there's me, back in 2014, I saved up money from part time at McDonald's to buy a car. It was a 2000 Honda Accord EX (V4) with 136,XXX miles for 4,000 bucks. Transmission kicked the bucket in 2018 at 164,XXX miles and the mechanic told me that I was better off buying another 4000 dollar car because it would cost around 3000 to fix it.

    I've had my '98 CRV for almost exactly 22 years and it has a little over 284K miles under her belt.. The first Gen V's are/were just crazy reliable if you made sure to adjust the valves every 30,000-40,000 miles. Mine is still running with the original starter,fuel pump, alternator(although I swapped out the brushes awhile ago), auto trans and engine. I've been meticulous on upkeep so I still occasionally receive compliments about it. In fact, some guy approached me two weeks ago in a parking lot and wanted to know if I'd be willing to sell it. I also have been running slightly larger tires(215/70/15's) for almost twenty years since I always thought the factory 205/70/15's looked puny. I also have a nice set of five-spoke wheels(Alessio Rally's) on it so there's never been one in my area which looks like it. I've always had a soft spot for the first two generations.

But, once life settles down I'm going to just buy a 2001. Maybe an EX this time. I also had no qualms about buying it w over 180k on it.

Thank our Acura integras because the CrV is just a SUV version of the Integra… I put the 1998 crv knuckles on my 95 integra and it fit went from 14” Steelies to 17” aluminum RSX rims… and who ever said the newer CRv suck, well I’m driving a 2008 CRv now only problem I’ve gotten is bad starter already replaced, and the AC, other than that the K24 engine is a better more reliable engine than the B20, will last up to 300-400k mileage before it gives problems in the engine, more power and upgrades than the older models.
      Oh my integra also has Honda prelude axles to make the 98 CrV knuckles/bigger brake calipers & rotors work with it… and I’m not big into lowering my teggy.

      @@dstewart7470 IMHO, they messed up the CRV from a design standpoint after 2006, mainly by making it less boxy and putting in a center console instead of a tree style shift lever. It really broke up what made the CRV interior interesting be in and and just made it like every other small SUV on the market. Mechanically though, yeah I'm sure it's great. Make sure it wasn't one of the first direct injection engines; Honda had real problems with oil dilution on those. If it's pre- direct injection era, I'm sure it's great.

Only thing I changed when I had it was the struts and ball joints which I did on my own and Vtec system. Matter fact it still has original alternator, starter, pumps and a/c. She doesn`t drive it as much since she has a 2017 Civic she likes better, because its newer.
