In August 2019 I purchased a 2.4 Liter I-4 2009 Honda Accord with 62,500 miles for $7,500, made the purchase without taking to mechanic to be checked out first, but to this day the only things have put on, and in this car has been oil, brakes, and a battery. As far I can tell this car runs like a clock, and shifts like a dream, and I do synthetic oil changes every 6,000 miles, and I do mostly highway driving because I live 1.5 miles off the Interstate.
What do you think about this purchase as far as longevity on these cars in your experience with these car?
The transmission cover on the side of the transmission can often rot away in saltier climates. I'm from Newfoundland Canada. So one of the saltiest places in the world. We use it on the road and its in the air. If not properly undercoated ive seen those side covers rot away and leak.
Other than regular maintenance they are rock solid cars. I've only done one timing chain on the 2.4 motor and thats because of neglect.

Ok, I like down in the center of North Carolina, every once in a while they salt the roads for winter weather, but that few and far between.
