My odometer shows 190,000 kms (about 119,000 miles). I just bought the car, and I think the previous owner may have changed the engine. I have a Canadian version 88 Accord Limited but the Honda dealer is baffled that we cannot find a cap and rotor to fit my car! They think that maybe it's got a US version engine, or distributor anyways.

My milage reads 103k, but it is a new instrument panel. Before that it read 249k, but those miles were on an old dead engine. So, neither of those numbers are correct. The engine in my car came off of a wrecked 86 accord with around 60k miles on it. Since Ive owned the car, Ive put on about 15k miles, making my total miles around 75k.

When you see that the majority have 260K+ miles you know that this was truly a well made car. A few cases of mileage that high can be attributed to good upkeep, but in the case of these cars you can tell that it has a lot to do with the car itself.

I have heard that the 3G was "overbuilt" due to Honda's desire to gain market share in the US "midsize" market of the late 80's. Back in the 80's Japanese companies were all about market share even if it meant cutting their profit margins to the bone to get it. I believe that our cars are a result of their 1980's philosophy. We are basically happy. lucky beneficiaries. The mid to late 90's philosophy has been "simplify" and "cheapen" as the name of the game is coming out with a new model that is the same price or less than the previous year's model.

That is why I think we just lucked into the best Accords that Honda has ever made, period. Maybe not as fancy or loaded with features, but definitely the most durable and reliable.

Time will prove me right!

03-03-2003, 08:57 PM
i have only 88,1XX some on mine. unfortuatly for me i wrecked it, but done worry. it will be fixed soon. and for that many miles and everything workin near perfect, i dont think its time to throw it away. my uncle has an '88 LX-I with 350000+. probley more now. its been since Christmas since i saw it. and he has everything working on it. its also very quiet like a new car. not to mention its the original engine and most all running gear except for axles. i bet it does have many more miles now cuz he lives in Houston.

107k all original... Looking to do an entire "ground up" rebuild... either that or find an old dual cam prelude engine in the junkyard on my "Quest" to the junkyard tomorrow. 107k miles wow, when i got her last year she only had 89k .. and those were put on my my Nana since the car was new. And im the first one to get the ol' girl in an accident... :( she needs some plasic surgery. Bumper... right side headlight assembly... passangerside fender... and the rear wheel wells have been rotting through recently.... i know what im doing with my 1st summer paycheck :) taking a trip to Junk Yard World and riding the cheap slide to Fix my car ville.
That and i'll need bondo... lots of bondo... and primer paint... then i'll get her pro. painted. Maybe a diamond coat to keep her shining for the next 15 years. Mmm the possibilities...

I just picked up my 89 LXI 2 DR coupe for $800.00. Just needs ball joints and it'll be ready to go. It's a 5spd with 263,000 miles. She runs like a top and they just had the valves adjusted so it's quiet as a mouse. I'm looking forward to putting on some more miles and getting some decent gas mileage.

This will be our families 15th Honda/Acura product so I'm very familiar with the reliability. That's why I didn't run when I saw the 263K. Well I'm looking forward to checking out this web site. Take it easy guys.
