but one must consider that if you maintain a car well, and don't beat it to hell driving it like a crazy manic, then it probably will last......anything will if you take care of it.
the honda, well the check engine light comes on frequently, also the brakes squeak badly they need replaced soon!, the engine runs really really reallly really hot- i mean you could fry an egg on it after driving it for 10 mins touch the hood hot! it smells like burning plastic, can't pin point it under the hood. also it has some cool honda accord hubcaps on it, and the tweeters that were molded in the door were stolen by the previous owner before he sold it, theres house carpet in the trunk.
but it hasn't had 8,000 miles put on it in the last year....she never drives it.
the paint is in really nice shape, still really shiny.
interior is near perfect
she only drives like 150miles at the absolute most per week, so she'd make it 2 weeks on 1 tank of gas.
also a side note the explorer she wants has been family owned and driven by a woman.
she thanks you all so far for your opinions, keep them coming!!
