Wow, 40K miles is almost new. I had a truck with a Cummins Turbo diesel engine that had a bit less than 100k on it after 15 years. I thought that was almost new when we sold it. I never buy extended warrenties on anything. I make sure all of the maintence stuff is done though.
I was slightly off – husband says the car now has 42K.
We don’t have to drive much. Work is two miles away, and most shopping just a mile or even a couple of blocks away.
Yes, we keep up with all the maintenance. The weird thing is that only a month or so after we bought that car, a lady in a big SUV rear ended us hard, doing about $6K in damage. Her insurer had it fixed as good as new, and there was never even a problem with that.
I have to say I’m very impressed with Honda, and would probably buy another one.
