my ride has 198k

 

i think it's thaty couple that have an old ass mercedes that hold the record tho, they had it for like 1.95 mil or suttin like that (made the number up, search it)

 

Alright as soon as i buy it from him i'll get a picture of the mileage. but shit thats alot ofmiles and im sure the entire car has gone to hell already, but thats alright since i was gonna fix or replace everything i can anyways.

 

Cool. This should be interesting. You can post pics of the whole build up if you want.
And despite the fact that some people might say negative stuff, most of us are here to back you up.
I'm thinkin about doin my own CRX project someday, and I say project becuase I know that just about any CRX I find is probably gonna need a lot of work.
Keep us posted bro.

 

where are you from? id do a full inspection prior to buying that thing although 200 is like nothing for a car. check for rust on the frame, that car easily has been to hell n back 10x.

 

yeah its got a little bit of rust on the left door but other than that its fine. I'm in Maryland. And im DEFINITELY getting it inspected although im gonna buy it even if it doesnt pass.

 

i saw a ford escort with 500,000 plus miles on it before. no lie

 

Damn. I'm not blindly devoted to honda or anything, but seeing a ford with that many miles is truly astonishing. The ford section at pick 'n pull is huge =D

 

story time...supposedly there was a "travelling salesman" with an 86-89 Accord who drove it over 1,000,000 miles. The dealer kept track of the mileage (i think the auto tranny was rebuilt and he had a headgasket replaced) and Honda offered to buy the car from him for his original sale price - the guy turned them down and said he'd never part with the car - supposedly he passed away and was buried in the car!

yeah that seems likely...i can't remember where i heard that but it was interesting

 

Some of those ran Mazda manufactured diesel and gas engines. I'd be willing to bet it was one of the Mazda 1.8's.
