You could probably use them again if you cleaned them up a bit. Try some JB Weld to repair the insulating collar around the (+) post. That'll stand up to higher temperature than silicone.

How did it run when they were in and how many miles?

Also my Accord has about 105,000 miles and still has the original plugs. How long have people been getting on plugs. It's the 2.4 on a 2014.

On my 97 S-10 the plugs in it were ran up to 149K when I changed them and the original plug wires. It came stock with AC Delco iridium plugs. Those are supposed to go 100K and then get changed. Those in my truck still looked good even at that mileage.
