Quick Hit – Ten Year Old 482 Mile Honda CRV (And an S600 Road Trip Update)

Certainly not a performance or enthusiast unicorn, but peculiar nonetheless. A 2011 Honda CRV LX with a ridiculous 482 miles on the odometer. The $18k price tag for a pretty base model makes it not so much a bargain as a museum piece. Begs the question…where has this cute ute been for the last 10 years? I might pass on MaxCare for this one.

Looks brand new. CarMax has it listed in the “less than 1K miles” category and had to zoom in on the dash to see the actual miles. Cloth seats. CD player. Not even Bluetooth?

Has it even had an oil change?! I know folks appropriately caution that old cars with low miles do not necessarily mean it’s in great shape – rubber pieces deteriorate over time. The 2.4 liter four cylinder puts out a respectable 180 hp. Only 2WD though. It’s a one owner (of course) California car found here in Duarte. Enjoy.

The S600 on the return leg of my coast-to-coast-coast drive. Side trip tp Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone.
The car continues to run smoothly, quickly, and quietly. And is now totally filthy.
Another quick stop in South Dakota. Cold war nostalgia. Ignore my buds but they have been a tremendous help after my solo drive west. Will update on the whole trip once the miles and booze wear off.
