Honda Car Forum

1997, two owners, AWD version w/ automatic, hard shell rear tire cover,
Alpine indash CD, factory alarm, power windows, mirrors, no accidents,
almost everything works good. Non-smoker.

From a 'clearance' type car dealer.

The catch: 290,000 km (180,000 mi) asking $7,950 CDN (American dollar
costs about $0.75)
I'm finding it hard to figure out the book value because of the high
mileage.

Quick survey, Would YOU buy it?? ____________

I have a 1997 CRV that I bought new with leather interior. For 118,000
miles it has been a great car. Still has the original battery and
exhaust system in it. Only thing I changed are tires and brakes.
This is a great car.

I wouldn't buy a used CR-V, whatsoever. I used to think mine was reliable until
it blew a gasket at 80K miles and cost me $2000.

Buy new or stay away.

Btw, used CR-Vs with almost 200K miles go for less than $5000 here in CA.







How to turn off 'Maintenance Required" light:

1. Hold trip/reset button on dash
2. Turn key to "ON" or start engine
3. Hold button til light goes out

I bought my 98 civic with almost 200 000 km in it, and got a discount for
that (almost 5k canadian total price).
I think if you can bring down the price (maybe by 500), it will be a good
deal... you probably know better than me that if well taken care of, Hondas
go well beyond 300 000 km.
