I'm in Canada, so similar weather. My first car was an 06 Honda Accord that died in 2024 from engine failure at 300k.

Shit I had a Hyundai Tucson 09 that I sold to my mechanic when I finally got a newer vehicle. That thing has 340k in on it. It's still going now as a loaner vehicle.

Miles or kilometres?

Hoping it makes it as long as yours

u/Mini_Assassin 2h ago

You're already past mine. 300k kilometres is 186k miles.

Just had a new engine put in my 06 accord wasn’t all that expensive

u/Mini_Assassin 2h ago

I was quoted $8000 for a new engine. The car was worth $4000, and I only had to spend $1000 to buy it and get it road worthy. Plus the car had several other issues besides the engine.

Gambling on replacing an engine that may or may not have significantly extended the life of the car before something else broke was not something I was interested in.

Holy shit ball. $1000 labor plus whatever the engine cost
