Hey scotty what do you think about HONDA HRV 1999-2005 MODELS d16w1 i have a manual any mod recomendations
Scotty I still got my 2011 CRV with 323,074 km up here in Canada and still kickn...next time you go to Thunder Bay swing by near Toronto
What year is that Honda in this vid??
What’s your opinion about a 2023 Mazda CX-5?
I think you get a big bang for your buck but not too sure about reliability.
Need you to give an opinion Scotty!!!!
Magical word that last a lifetime “PLEASE”!

We own that generation CR-V. Our 2007 has 120k miles. Last week before taking it on a long road-trip, I changed the oil to full synthetic 5W20 and changed the spark plugs with factory Densos. Took about 20 minutes to do both. While on the trip I was amazed that our average MPG increased from 24.3 MPG to 28.5 even driving it 75 MPH. I'm happy with it.
As always, Scotty is out here, representing the average person’s budget and I am all for it! Saving money and having a realistic/reliable car makes me excited too! Keep it up Scotty!
Its nice to be seen. He speaks to the majority of Americans.
thanks Scotty for videos
Agreed. Too many 'car channels' on UA-cam focus on new cars like everyone has the money to afford them.
It's great and I understand it. Boy is it hard liking fun cars though. I spent 2 years without a sporty car and drove a nice fuel efficient car but couldn't take it anymore and a great deal came up recently on the car I'd had my eye on for a while. Most people just want to get from A to B but some of us have a passion that isn't easy on the wallet.
Any input? I have a 2006 Honda Crv 247k. I want to keep it!! It has an oil leak; 1/4 court low since the oil change was done 2 month time. The new CRv s in my area are 38k. I’ve had the starter and the Noc sensor replaced last year. I just put new tires on it. Sometimes the engine light comes on 😮 I’ve had the code read and was told it could be any number of things. The light went out after adding 1/4 quart of oil. I really love not having car payments and used cars w over 100k And 10 plus years old are still 16k plus
A friend of mine had a first generation CR-V from the 90s with over 400k miles on it, which was impressive. I picked up a 2006 CR-V in January with 160k miles on it. The two previous owners maintained it perfectly. It drives like it’s only a couple of years old. Zero rust California car. First Honda I’ve ever owned and I’m impressed. I’m looking at picking up another one.
That's excellent
The only issue with the 2nd gen is the Black death (AC issue) I have a 2006 Honda CRV 5 speed manual myself. Super reliable and fun.
What kind of hwy mpg are y'all getting with yours? I am looking at an 07 and do a ton of interstate driving and ideally want close to 30. Thanks in advance!
@@bjperez9076 2006 is a 2nd gen CRV so its a slightly different car. I get around 25mpg. I have a bull bar / roof rack but other than that. Its stock. I would expect you to get roughly 25-28mpg realistically. You can get 30 but it depends on roads/conditions. How fast you drive on the highway. I live in Los Angeles so i think that has something to do with it due to the traffic
@@vthecrv9270 thanks for the info! Didn't realize 07 was the start of the 3rd gen. We go back and forth on I10 in Texas. Pretty flat to rolling hills. I just don't like the 17 mpg of my Avalanche, and average 20-22 in wife's Odyssey.
Because of your advice, a few months ago I bought a 2015 Honda Pilot with 215,000 miles on it. It has a 6 cylinder engine that's had 49 oil changes and at 200,000 miles the timing belt had been changed. It's got the highest trim package and it looks cherry. Without watching your channel I would never even have considered buying it. I love this car. It replaced a Honda CRV that was totalled by a little old lady going through a stop. And I was able to pocket $6600.00 due to the difference in value because the Pilot had so many miles on it.. Thank you Scotty.
My 2010 Pilot has 300,000 miles... I just put on new rear pads and rotors... I have had it for 8 years with absolutely no major repairs... (one alternator replaced which is common...)... Just keep the oil fresh and go on and on and on...) *My 2007 Acura stx is still running fine... I gave it away 5 years ago..
I have a 2007 Honda CRV 2WD. It has over 200K miles and have owned for 10 years. I also had to replace the A/C compressor. Other than minors repairs it’s been the best car I have ever owned.
The AC has been a problem with CRVs with every iteration. Scotty says you can’t blame Honda for the quality but at some point they can’t feign ignorance forever. They choose to buy those cheap parts knowing the life span in hopes to save a buck. Even with lawsuits they still come out in the black. Almost all models have some kind of AC recall variation.
Im suprised you even had to do that tbh. These 07 hondas are good. From mt expirience you usually only have to do basic maintinance amd then maybe youll replace like a button on the steering wheel or something simple like that. Regular stuff
yeah I just had to do the A/C Compressor on my civic 08. $1400 aud parts and labour. The plus side is that it is worth it cause my AC is super cold now.
Yeah I own 2007 crv 4wd 135k and that’s the next thing I have to replace is the air conditioner. Which I think they should’ve had a recall on. Just found out they have a recall again do to rust, Corrosion from road salt and de-icing agents. So of course I live a cold state IL so we will see how that goes.
I had the AC repaired on my 2008 Honda because it was cheaper than buying a new car. The thing just won’t break. Great car.
I wouldn’t touch a new Toyota with a barge pole. Work have them and the dash is always flashing about something.
I had a 2001 Honda CR-V, it had over 300,000 miles on it and was still running good. The only reason I got rid of it is because it got in an accident and wasn't cost effective to save. Best vehicle ever
I am also glad my Mazda has the old style plug to drain the transmission. My 07 Mazda with 139k still shifts smoothly with the basic maintenance like that.
My 09 Ford Fusion I think shares the same transmission. It has a drain plug, too.
Zoom zoom zoom
All Mazdas are made by Ford until 2013..................
The 2.4 VTEC engines will run forever. I always used synthetic oil and high octane gas. Never any issues.
Only if you change the necklace style timing chain 2012 and up
My wife has a 05 CRV. 18 years 150k miles. It took her to college, grad school, our wedding, and picked up our daughter and son from the hospital when they were born. it is part of our family.
2006 AWD Honda Pilot with 260k and running great. Friends have over 400k on theirs and running great. Minimal maintenance and still getting 22mpg just like when I bought it new.
2007 CR-V’s are awesome vehicles. I loved mine and still miss it to this day.
Last fall, I bought a 2004 Acura MDX from a friend. It had 186,+++ miles on it. He had bought a new car for his wife and hadn't used this one for a year and a half, hadn't started it for almost a year. I replaced the brake pads and the upholstery. It needs new O2 sensors. It burns no oil in between oil changes. I change at 2000 miles.
Replacing upholstery must be a frustrating job.
Thats boy good because i have a honda with a little less miles and burns no oil and those were good yesrs for honda engines so its odd to me you say it burns oil.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss Read what I wrote. I, like you, wrote it burns no oil.
@@Gritt982 I hired it done. It cost me only $900!
My parents have one of these! They got it when I was in kindergarten and I'm in college now. Still goes!
I live in Pennsylvania, I bought my 1st brand new car ever in 2021, a CRV AWD, I love my Honda’s
I just bought that exact car but a 2009 EXL for $10,000 with...wait for it...14,000 original miles. I did lots of research and love that you made this video. Glad to know I'm set for life.
you should have just spent that money on a new prius or crossover hybrid vehicle. hybrids nowadays regularly get 40-50+ mpg. makes you feel good at the end of each year that passes by knowing that you saved several thousands of dollars at the pump by getting a hybrid.
Ya that price is on point for cars i am looking at in current market. Never see any car under ten grand. Wow you got a low mile auto at that price good for you.
I couldn't wait for it
@@jeschr3462 Why? It would cost me over 3 times that much plus higher taxes, higher plates, and higher insurance. I paid cash. Plus I'm a police officer that gets to drive my patrol vehicle unlimited mileage. I'll put an absolute maximum of 5,000 miles per year on my personal vehicle. I'd never EVER recoup the difference in price paying 3 or more times more for a new hybrid.
You struck gold on that deal wow
My 2009 CRV has 250K (original owner). Changed oil every 5-7K religiously. You’ll rarely see a Honda on the side of the road, let alone a CRV. Beats a 1K / month car payment.
Which years do you recommend in the CRV?
I work on a friends CRV. Its a break from BMW/Mercedes for sure. The K series honda engines especially the K24 are probably the best engines they ever made. It can take a substantial amount of neglect too as I also found out. Transmission is the same, can go 150k and somehow survive a filter/fluid change with OE factory fluid having never been serviced.
Picked up a '07 awd Honda crv for my kid after he wrecked an '06 jeep gc awd 8cyl. The Honda is slightly smaller, but superior in just about every way. It's a 4 banger, sure but the only thing my kid is hauling is his own a**. It has more pep,(much lighter) better gas mileage by far, has been much more reliable even though it had about 160k mi when I bought it, and regular maintenance items are a snap. I guess I'm just mad at myself for not considering Hondas and toyotas sooner, and my son says he loves the honda. he liked the jeep- but we were always chasing gremlins in that thing. When the time comes- I may even consider a crv for myself. Thanks Scotty!
Jeeps are sadly a Chrysler zero reliability, and Honda's having amazing reliability, it's a great vehicle for anybody, just teach your kids the importance of maintenance and keeping the oil and filter changed every 3000 miles, and only use the proper weight of oil that it calls for on your oil cap or you can download the Honda maintenance manual.
@ 1 jack it needed an 02 sensor right after we bought it, that was a really easy fix, he's done his oil and filter changes, switched out his spark plugs etc. All those things are easy to do on crvs.
Scotty is naturally entertaining. I leave his videos happy
I've recently bought a 05 Toyota Avensis and it's great, it has around 100k kilometers on it, it runs like a dream and it didn't break my bank. The only real thing I did to it was change the front rotors and pads and I did that myself. No monthly payments, no issues with the car at all. I have a feeling I'm going to keep it for a good while.
I’m still happy with my 2005 Toyota RAV4.
Older CRVs are great for reliability and cheap to maintain however if you are over 6ft or are heavy than this will be a terribly uncomfortable choice to buy. Getting older now and it’s all about comfort now even if it means not saving money.
Thank you Scotty for being so budget friendly always look forward to your videos
Love the video. I am looking to try to buy a car for under $5000 cash and these types of video's give me hope I will be able to find something that won't break down in the first month, thanks scotty for content geared towards people that don't want to finance a 30k vehicle!!
1998-2002 Honda Accord LX (NOT the V6-too much power from motor breaks the transmissions)
Got mine in 2013 for like $5000.00
ALL the parts are cheap and usually available for near free at any salvage yard. It is literally still worth what I bought it for in 2013
@@srshwa imma get my grandma's '99 lexus gs300 with 2jz V6 for $3000. With 160k on it everything stock. Very nice car 👌
Patience grasshopper ,shop around and look at lots of cars,or try to buy one off someone you know for the trade in price, happy hunting
I am riding a 2007 CR-V LX right now that wasn’t maintained very well and it’s still at a little over 200k, transmission isn’t insanely smooth but it works good, engine is great, no lights on (except a TPMS that isn’t worth fixing), pretty solid. Changed the AC compressor because it did go out.
I recently got a 2007 honda crv a couple of months ago and it had 74k miles on it. It doesn't disappoint!
i always love to watch Scott to practice my listening.
My crv has 370k. Still runs very well
I replaced the struts on my 09 CR-V, and the tires wore out in 6 months. I had to get a camber adjustment arm put on the rear wheels to be able to get the alignment right so the tires wouldn't wear so badly. Otherwise, it is an excellent car. 201,000 miles right now.
I'm considering buying a used 09 cr-v with 75k miles, this is reassuring to see :)
Paid $5K for my 2007 Toyota Camry LE with 164K miles. It now has 191K and everything still works. They also make fantasies audio systems. Just now tried out the CD player which works very well.
My 07 accord i bought with 150k and its at 173k and i think im going to try to sell it for 6k because its got some nice options
Had a 2004 CRV in my family since I was in 1st grade. That thing was a solid work horse and never let my family down. It definitely would’ve lasted for another 10+ years until I crashed it. I miss that car everyday.😔
Way to go
Parents should have gotten rid of you, and kept the car.
But vtec kicked in yo
@@billrehm3590 😂😂😂😂
Here is my $0.02 - my family has owned the following:
88 Toyota Tercel - blew head gasket at 70K
88 Toyota 4runner - rusted out at 140k
06 Toyota Corolla - rusted out at 200K
07 Toyota RAV4 - threw rod at 50K
08 Toyota Yaris - rusted out at 190K
2004 Honda Element - still going at 140K
2004 Honda CRV - caught fire due to hungry squirrels 120K
2005 Honda Element - still going at 210K
2008 Honda Odyssey - still going at 140K
2012 Honda CRV - still going 120K
0/5 toyotas remain while 4/5 of my hondas remain.
All vehicles were regularly maintained by the same mechanic as well as undercoated.
I would take the Hondas over the Toyotas any day. They are better made and last way longer.
We have a 2011 CR-V EXL that we bought new. It now has 215K and still drives like new. We did replace the aforementioned AC compressor some years ago, but other than that we've had no major problems. It's easy to work on - just stick with Honda fluids (coolant, power steering, etc.), change the oil/rotate tires on a regular basis, and don't hotrod it. We get about 27 mpg highway (front wheel drive). I expect we'll get at least 400K miles out of it. It's a fantastic, easy to drive/park, good-handling car that has a surprising amount of cargo space. I would drive it cross-country without a second thought. It's the best car we've owned in almost 40 years of marriage.
I know someone who owned a Honda Accord 94. She drove that car til 2020. Her husband maintained service on vehicle. They loved that car.
Honda reliability started off well with the Super Cub. I guess they have reputation to uphold 👍🇦🇺
Down to earth, practical man in the street advice. Thank you.
I've bought 4 cars in the last 16 years and all of them have been Hondas and I never went for the latest models. Bought a 98 Accord in 2007, sold it and bought a 2002 Accord in 2009, bought a 2009 Accord in 2018 and still drive it to date, bought a 2010 Odyssey last year that still drives strong. These cars are built to last.
Im suprised you didnt go with the 07 accord but im glad you didnt go with the 08 accord because it was the first one of the generation. Did you get the v6.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss The only v6 Accord I owned was the 2002. I got the 2009 for a price that seemed very reasonable ($5k with about 92K miles on it, and the LX-P trim. I've added another 52K miles to it and besides the routine oil change, have spent less than $1K on repairs at my local mechanic)
A friend of mine did his mechanical apprenticeship at a Honda dealer. This dealer also was a BMW dealer. When asked he would like a BMW he said not even if it was free. He was very happy with his Accord
parents had an 08' crv. got up to 200k miles until my pops got into a wreck. it was supposed to be my first car, miss it so much. with proper maintenance, they last FOREVER, only issue we had with it was the A/C.
I have an 03 civic with 233k on it. Bought it for $4k 5 years ago and it still runs like a champ. Also bought an 02 Toyota Sienna for $4k almost two years ago when it had 240k on it. It too is still our family trip mobile.
My mother, who no longer drives, recently sold me her 2014 CR-V for $6000. When I put the key in the ignition it had 10k miles!!
I have a Honda CRV,2019 ,with 7,100 miles on it,wouldn't trade it in for the world, love that vehicle
My wifes car is a 2003 Honda CRV 287,000 miles she drives it 5 to 6 days a week she bought it used years ago. Honda actually replaced the A/C compressor for free under a recall/warranty.
Another bonus on the awd version, they can be flat towed behind an RV (2014 and older)
Iv bought a 2000 model from a trusted friend, with 167,000, on it.($2.500)
We put new plugs, wires, distributor cap, and that’s it.
Runs great, little on the loud side but other than that, it’s a solid little ride.
I still have my 2009 Honda CRV which I purchased brand new at the Honda dealership in San Leandro California. It has 186K miles on it. Still running like a champ. Replaced the four struts 2 years ago.
Been buying CRV’s since 2012, I just trade them in every 4 years, never had any issues at all… I remember with my last one there was a concern with oil dilution. I have 75,000kms on my 2020 and get 15,000km per oil change.
I would buy any of these ice vehicles over an EV any day.
Yes.
My friend: you should get the new f150 lightning they are the future!
Me: buys gm 2500 duramax
Really? I would have never guessed.
This guy owns the world's only gas powered phone.
@@phatgringo2.0 yep, and it works perfectly.
I have that same one with 130k. The only thing I've changed is the spark plugs and coil packs. Also the compressor in mine is holding vacuum and is still working, HOWEVER the clutch is shot so i just have to swap out the clutch and bearing. If you have a bad AC in these doesn't always mean it's the compressor itself.
Hi! Which year?
I had an 07 accord,and a 09 CR-V. Both had a transmission shudder at 45 mph.
1998-2002 Honda Accord LX (NOT the V6-too much power from motor breaks the transmissions)
Got mine in 2013 for like $5000.00
ALL the parts are cheap and usually available for near free at any salvage yard. It is literally still worth what I bought it for in 2013
Scotty's hands were on their A Game. Love those guys.
Thanks Scotty, I was going to buy a used CRV but after your video I can’t afford one.
I’m a Rhode Islander with a 2009 Honda CRV and I love it.
my mother has a 2007 crv.. bought new still going strong and looks new
this is the best bang for the buck project car. mine is CRV 2010 still running smoothly, no major problems at all.
i just recently got me a 2014 crv had it a little over a week now coming from a 09 civic and im loving it so far
I see Toyota late on their payment again...
😂😂😂😂😂
lol
I wonder why Mercedes or Bmtroubleyou dont pay actually! Maybe because are..premium?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
I have three older cars, Honda Fit (2013), and two 2007"s (Mercedes GL450 and Lexus GFX470). All are paid for and all run fine. :)
Have the same model, the issue is badly designed AC compressor clutch it overheats and burns a coil, the rest of compressor is ok. The coil can be purchased separately and is much cheaper than replacing whole compressor assembly.
My dad drives a 1996 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon (6cyl). He changed the valve cover gaskets at 200,000 and maintains normal maintenance. IHe changed the oil pan cover due to his Baja road trips/potholes. And last month, He added new shocks/struts and sprayed the undercoat to protect it. My dad is basically driving a new car. This Toyota has front wheel drive. It has 223,000 miles and it still gets 37 miles to the gallon. We love your show Scotty. ..... Bye now.
I have a 2008 CRV with 170k miles. It has been garage kept in California the entire time but as with most CRVs there has been air conditioning problems but everything else has good.
I have an 04 Honda Element with the same engine, 219,000 miles no leaks have replaced VTEC solenoid and starter. Runs like a top
I drive a 2003 Accord with 265,000 miles and I am not looking forward to the day it dies. I get regular oil changes and keep up on the maintenance. Bought it used and have been driving it for 10 years. Plus it's a straight drive which I love. Fingers crossed it last many more years.
We have a 2004 model with the 6 cylinder engine. It will move on of you need it too. It had 100,007
On it when ever we bought it. It now has around 230,000.
We have had air conditioner problems, electric window, problems but it’s still a good powerful running car to date.
Have owned 4 of these!!💯can not beat them! We had a manual 2006 I believe had close to 180000 miles we sold it to a friend who wanted a good on gas used vehicle.. I think that it’s still going ❤
In 2002, I bought a 2000 CRV (40,000 miles). I had it until last May (2023 240,000 miles), Great car!
Thanks Scotty for helping me with trying to find a dependable car or suv. Great information on all I've been searching. ( Was you ever a music director?)
I own a Volvo XC90 V8 AWD is almost 300.000 and still running strong
Only regular maintenance
My daughter's first car was caused Toyota Corolla. She had that car for 11 years and had no problems. She kept the oil changed, got new tires when needed and brakes changed. She and her husband bought another used Toyota Corolla in 2015 and still have it. Their other one they traded 2 years ago for a new Toyota SUV I'm not sure which one it's a Hybrid.
Bought my moms 2007 CRV and it just now reached 113k miles. Thinking about adding a couple things to make the car look nicer !
Assuming it has been properly maintained, 113k miles on a Honda is almost nothing. I had a 1992 Honda Accord that was one of the best cars I ever owned. The transmission (manual) finally went out on it at 300k miles, but the engine, A/C, dash clock, and cruise control were still working great. And the 2.2 liter four cylinder engine delivered 37 mpg highway and 34 mpg city. I replaced it in 2017 with a 2008 Honda Fit that I got for $4,000 with 120k miles, and it gives me the same gas mileage as the Accord. As Scotty says, why would I want to spend 20 or 30 thousand dollars for another car that only gets half that gas mileage and constantly breaks down? Also like Scotty says, replacing the front axles and/or struts on a Honda, if you have the right tools, is a piece of cake. I'm telling you, these cars are engineered so much better than the American models, it's not funny. You seldom have to work on them.
'14 CR-V with 121k. Only changed the oil, replaced battery and one tranny service. 👌🏻
My Honda snowblower, almost 30 years old, still starts on the first pull and I have rarely serviced it! LOL
Thank you so much Scotty my 05 Pilot was making the same noise. I didn’t know what that was and no one could tell me
Shortage of good used cars over my way. So I got a new Mazda3 AWD. Top trim 2.5 liter. it's got cameras on all 4 sides, automatic on and off heated seats & steering wheel, drives like magic, it's solid and quiet. 3 years unlimited km warranty too. Still I wish there were some 2nd hand options I could have picked because it's a bloody expensive compact car.
3rd Gen Mazda 3's are relatively cheap and imo superior. They are also proven bulletproof without the added complexity of the 4th gen.
I have a 03 Civic 225K
Still works like a charm !!
Literally saved me many times when my daily Nissan broke down on me.
I am borrowing my roommates right now and maybe a good car but it takes bumps like a corvette, it feels like it has no shocks. Also my Corolla had zero problem’s in 6 years I already had to replace the front ball joint and cv axle or whatever after 5 months of borrowing it. I am a wholehearted Toyota or nothing guy as it is the only reliable car I have ever owned and I am 51 buying used cars the entire time.
*"Corners like a dreammmmmmm"* (in shaky voice) 🤣😂😅😛
Wait, what? My wife's 2010 CR-V drinks oil so much, I have to check it continually. And yes, she has a replacement AC compressor. The cat/ head pipe has been replaced, and the steering rack leaks and needs to be replaced, all this under 130,000 miles. My Son's 2011 CR-V needs to have his AC compressor replaced as well. His has bad remote door locks. The only big thing that I am impressed with is their resistance to corrosion up here in the Northeast. I wish other vehicle manufactures would improve on that.
I bought a 97 in 2007, and I put one of those little diagnostic cubes that was a promotional offer through Verizon. I averaged 37 MPG. My big gripe was around the alternator they had a gasket for the oil. I wasn't too crazy about occasionally changing it over which added a couple hundred extra dollars to the bill. And that's what made me regrettably trade away my Honda CRV. Sometimes I miss the little bugger.
I almost bought a used Pilot in very good low miles condit. the reason I did not is that they had the same stupid water-pump timing chain cover design! What a pain!
I believe the CRV is 4wd not awd. Also if you ever replace the AC compressor go with the brand Denso, worth the extra $100 over cheaper brands.
Just bought a 2009 Honda Pilot with 170K Km’s on it. As long as it wasn’t abused, I fully expect it to last a lot longer. Never had any issues with our Honda’s
Have a 2001 civic with over 200k ac works good can't complain it's a great second car. Just paid off my 2016 lifted 4 runner with 92k, and have only changed fluid,battery, and tires.
This is what I was told to look for, not these new ones that will lead to us to having black outs or having to call the firefighters when something goes wrong because they have a battery and a tank
I have a 2014 CRV-EX bought new same engine (non-Turbo)...hope to go 200K+
@@mattmekhaeil So is my K20 in my 07' Si Sedan (Stock) 270K I bought new and still going strong...only "major work" replace original clutch at 233K.
It will if you take care of it
Had a 2006 CRV and it was a electrical nightmare. I have a 2023 Civic Type R and I absolutely love it.
Love me some Honda, I own a 2009 CRV and absolutely love it, approaching 180K.
My 2008 accord with the ivtec 2.4 has just turned 280k miles. And I payed 2k when it had 260k. I’ll tell ya what I don’t regret it. Love the car and keeps going. Did just have to replace the original starter on it.
Definetly got a steal on it eventhough its the 08 and not the 07
My 23 year old 6 cyl convertible mustang still gets 25 mpg it got 28 when I got it in 2000
Had a used 99 😅 and head gasket, slipping transmission problems etc.. if I end up buying one of this, maybe a new one.
I'm surprised he advised to leave the worn struts as I hear that can cause poor handling and thus affect braking.
It's a wreck in some states, just normal in others.
@@Nozinbonsai as a Brit in a small country we have emission testing as standard. Having said that, the absolute heaps I see being driven around my village (mainly farmers tailers with pickups and tractors) seem to get away with murder. There's hardly ever a police car and our local station has been shut to the public for years...I mean how can that be right? Utterly ridiculous, actually though I often see cops having their lunch at the fast food restaurant on the trunk road pull in, then I guess they take off somewhere. Probably to do some speed checks or drink driving, easy money. Anyhow, rant over lol.
My 04 has 230k on it..
the AC was replaced under consent decree...the alternator & brakes went 18 yrs. Keeping it.
See if itll make it to 500
Scotty my dad just bought a 2019 Honda CR-V with the 1,5, turbo engine the vehicle only has 28000 miles the vehicle is in great condition heard about the oil dilution issue and battery run down issues there is no open recall for this car put in the vin comes back clear this car moves out with that turbo love Honda any way enjoy your program keep smiling my friend 🍀😎
Love that you are in Rhode Island
The knuckle knock always cracks me up. 😂
I have the same generation CR-V but in a 2011 with about 90K miles. We have not spent a single cent on anything other than wear and tear maintenance. That being said, the road noise is loud which is fatiguing on long road trips. But is is an excellent daily driver.
Shes just broken in man
I had a crv . Drove the heck out of it. Coast to coast .offroaded it ,lol
I got 293,000 on my 2008 4cl Accord. I bought it new and did not take good care of it. Just oil changes, brakes & tires. I still have the original spark plugs. Struts. (CA car)
I did have a few repairs after 220,000 and now a cat. converter prob. engine code.
I'm so thankful for you. You are offering a wonderful service to people, esp. women!
I have a 2000 rd1 crv that my grandma gave me, it’s had its issues with burnt valves and idle air control motors flaming out and I am close to selling it as I have a 96 vtech accord that’s a much better daily driver. Every time I drive it to the mountains I struggle to find the motivation to sell it though. The crv is a great car it is just a lifted awd civic
You're the best Scotty thanks for all that you do man seriously
I just got a 23 highlander xse blacked out with red interior. Really nice suv and hopefully it will last. Got rid of a 16 Camaro and 14 civic coupe si .
My 2000 CR-V has 394k miles. AC doesn't work and driver side power window no longer works but it STILL runs strong. Just need something bigger, a van or something, because I have 7 dogs to bug out with on the next Cat 5 hurricane 😂
