How is 1993 model known for reliability?; what is the highes mileage reported on that year?

Why do you ask? A 1993 has long passed the reliability point. All you can do is hope for the best. I guess you want to know the miles one has gone, how would we know that .

I guess what I was asking is: How was that year overall for those cars? I’ve heard of some civics accruing 600,000 miles; have you heard the same stories? That’s all. I know a 25 year old car is not reliable in the sense that it’s a 25 year old car. But this Civic only has 178,000 miles on it, or th…

[image] William08: Should I get a preventative timing belt change YES! Good quality belts have a recommended replacement at 110,000 miles or 7 years. Unless you hold a receipt in your hand showing the date a mileage when the belt was last changed, change it NOW. Assume nothing. As for the r…

This new to you car should have all the fluids replaced (oil, transmission, brake, coolant, power steering) unless you have written proof they’ve been changed recently. Have you had a trusted mechanic go over it bumper to bumper to check it out? And don’t believe the ‘it can run to 600,000 miles’ …

[image] ledhed75: my experience has been 4 cylinder Honda engines have a timing chain. Pre- '06 Civics had timing belts, all the way back to the 1970’s. They also had interference motors, so not replacing it is gambling where if you lose, you grenade the valvetrain.

I took it to Midas and had the oil & fluids changed. They inspected the car and the only problem was the front passenger axle cuff was separated. I new axle was put on. They said change the oil every 3000 miles. The only other problem I had, and I’ve averaged about 80 miles a day for the past month…

My experience is that the most valuable single thing you can do that will prolong the life of your car is to resolve to learn how to fix small stuff that will continue to break down. If you have to pay someone to do small repairs your wallet will soon be screaming at you to get a newer more reliabl…

Make sure your Civic actually has a timing belt to replace.

I’d assume this one has a 4 cylinder engine, and my experience has been 4 cylinder Honda engines have a timing chain. Which generally lasts the lifetime of the engine.

Good luck.
