The only thing I have done to this car is
- 3 sets of tires
- brakes
-plugs
- oil / filters
- Front wheel bearing
Still has original struts. replacing struts, upper and lower control arms this weekend.
This is why I buy Honda!

Some more background on my cars from the 1994 accord to present. I bought the accord in 2002 with 87K.
1994 Accord 209K miles and it died (my friend had not maintained it, I had sold it to him at 168K 8 years ago). Things I replaced:
Brakes 1 time
Exhaust
Outer CV joint driver side
recharged the A/C twice
1998 Accord sold at 101K transmission rebuild issues led to sale. Things I had to replace for the 12K I had it (bought it at 89K and sold it at 101K)
Transmission at 90K
Alternator at 93K
Battery Cable (not Honda's fault previous owner effed it up)
2003 Acura 138K with the last (I bought it at 38K and still have it with the last 100K put on it by me). Things I had to replace
Lower ball joints 3x
driver's side wheel bearing
brakes with rotors
oil sender
engine mounts (to be fair mine lasted for 118K and that is pretty dang good for nearly 300hp)
sway bar bushings
A/C condenser
end links (all of them)
Timing belt and tensioner + related parts
4th gear pressure switch
Dealer did transmission at 71K under warranty
2003 Subaru Legacy L special edition 70K and change, I bought the car cheap because the engine was "broken"
Had engine rebuilt due to piston slap at 69K and change
front brakes at 70K (must have been previous driver hard on them)
1 wheel stud each wheel due to previous owner installing wrong wheel locks
Expansion valve for A/C
Timing belt + related parts
rearview mirror (it leaked)
new master keys (only had the sub key when I got it)
up next
second key fob
4 new tires (make more noise than the worst wheel bearing you have heard) I put the car up on jack stands and I could not get any play in each wheel and they are silent when you turn them.
