    I still drive my '98 CRV to work and to run errands so I've only been putting 7500-8000 miles on her the last five years or so...in six months I'll hit the 300K mile mark. I drove it off the dealership lot just over 24 years ago and I'm still amazed by the crazy reliability of the first gen V's. Six months ago I finally had to replace the original starter and I'm still rolling with the original fuel pump and alternator although I DID replace the brushes on the alternator around seven years ago. If you maintain a first gen V, and that includes adjusting the valve clearance every 40k miles), the engines are almost bullet-proof. Mine still purrs like a kitten.

I’m the third owner on mine and you can tell the previous owners loved and maintained the car, the interior and exterior are in fantastic condition. You don’t see many first gens on the road anymore though, everyone trades up and gets younger.

    Fairly honest review.
    We can never dismiss this 99% truth:
    "When you buy a used car, ur also buying the headaches that it gave the previous owner!"
    The prices they are mentioning here, are the fluke and bottom prices of such used cars that have all the problems u can imagine that's why the owner is trying to get rid of it. The used decent ones have prices pretty close to brand news.
    (2) options u can ponder:
    1. Just get a reasonable brand new car within ur budget, IMPORTANT: get the longer warranty if you plan to keep the car.
    Then, worrying about any breakdown & unscheduled expenses will take the backseat of ur mind at least for the next 5-6 yrs.
    Cars nowadays have improved much with technology that as long as you comply with scheduled maintenance, the vehicle will always serve it's purpose.
    2. In case u really have to buy a used one, it's best to get it from people u really know (not a friend's friend), in which u have a very good idea of this person and how the vehicle was used. Don't be immediately hooked with a brand name or the outside looks. Take it to a mechanic without the seller and get an objective check points of the engine/transmission first, then all the other components & luxury items if any.
    *** Remember, getting a car is a major step in life especially first timers. So be wise & smart and get advice from reliable experienced people.
    If u don't have any back-up support system, chances are ur going to get duped 100%.
    I had a neighbor before who hastily brought a nice shiny sports car. Ended up being a driveway ornament and have not seen it move for years and I saw the face of the owner also aged fast and caught him kicking the car a few times.
    There is a by chance silver lining & jackpot used car buys that is exactly how our lady host is describing BUT that comes very far few in-between in real life.
    Thanks for the tips on the video. It's nice to know which brands some people have at least had positive experiences with. That's a good start when you really really have to buy a used car from zero idea & info.

    I own an 02 CR-V that a lady brought used in 2011 over in Cairns, Aus. She used it to cross Alice Springs all the way to Victoria and sold it in Launceston, Tas. I brought it from a guy in the south for $1500 @ 420,000kms on the odo.
    After a full suspension rebuild, lift kit and some very minor mechanical work (valve lash adjustment, throttle body hose replacement & fluid changes) I'm expecting it to last a pretty long time and for less than $4000 it should prove to be a good travel bus for my kids haha!

    My wife has a 14' CRV and it's certainly been reliable. We stick to the maintenance schedule and haven't had any reliability issues. That in mind, it has a CVT trans and they notoriously act up. They won't fail you but can cause a "stutter" at 20-30mph or so. We've had it looked into at our Honda dealer and basically they said there's no way to fix it, it wound strand you anywhere or decrease the cars reliability, but it's just annoying and you just sorta have to live with it.
    Additionally, I have an 06' GX470. I love it, but bear in mind it's a 14 year old car. Rust is present but nothing structural. My airbags lasted to 160k miles and I swapped out to springs which was an easy weekend project. Also note the diff fluids need to be changed every 30k miles or so, the driveshafts should be lubed every oil change. Also, the exhaust manifolds have the catalytic converters on them, so every 6-10 years they like to crack. I changed each side for a total of $1.1k and it took an entire weekend of hard, strenous work. It was not fun at all and my knuckles were bleeding. Last, The front brakes tend to bind for some reason. I first changed mine 3y ago, then they bound up again 1y ago. Lexus fixed it for the GX460 by making the rotors thicker and adding more metal for heat dispersion. Conveniently the early 460 rotors and calipers fit on the GX470, so for $700 or so you can upgrade at the time of swapping. You're going to see that kind of maintenance on any old car. My GX has never left me stranded, it always starts (excepts when the alternator blew out, $200 fix), and its the most comfortable vehicle for the money to get you through armageddon.
