I had a 87 Accord before I got my Yaris .. and it died a slow and painful death. It had about 240,000 KM when it finally died .. hardly a record.

I inherited an 87 Integra and afterward an inattentive driver (looking for something on the floor in front of the passenger seat) broadsided me pretty hard. I think I put another 15-20k miles on it after that until the transmission started to give out on it and I started looking for my suzuki swift. The final mileage on it was about 191k (just under the 194k I put on my GTI) -- the water pump gave out while trying to bring it home after buying the Swift and the transmission probably would have struggled to get the car the rest of the way to the house anyway. I had AAA tow it to a parking lot within range. I left it there long enough that another tow company was called to take it to their tow lot. They let me take the personalized plates off of it and I just let them keep it in exchange for a zero bill.
