I bought my 96 Accord w/ 40k miles and drove another 140k miles having to do nothing more than general upkeep/maintenance. The car was still running like new and still had most of it's original parts when I sold it w/ 180k miles to the current owner (friend of mine) The car is still trucking with over 200k miles and the only thing he has replaced so far is the original starter at 195k miles. On the other hand, the 06 is a far superior automobile.
