Civics & High Mileage

RE: Civics & High Mileage
I am kinda of new to the Civic world, but they have a reputation of lasting well into the 200K mile mark...The only thing I have been told, the timing belt needs to be replaced every 80K to 100K miles...Besides that I can't see why it would not live up to it rep, with some good maintenance

98 dx with amlost 160k.....still running fine....burns a little oil here and there, but shes still running strong.....at least i dont have to worry about it not starting like with my grandpas trucks...or he and i's mustang (it sits so the battery dies) just walk out, open the door, turn the key, and go. that car should last you a long time...and you can find a new motor (d16) for like $1k completley rebuilt...even cheaper if you want to piece it together!
*edit* thats 160k..not 16..lol

I'm hoping to be buried with my civic because I'll always be poor (psych/philosophy major) and I'll never be able to buy another car.
j/k. I'm running 135,000 on my civic now, and my old accord is well over 200,000. If the car has been maintained properly, there is no reason why it can't run for 200,000+ miles. Have a mechanic check it out.
