1991 Accord LX 5 spd - 203,XXX and still running strong. Doesn't burn a drop of oil and runs better than my any other car I've seen with that mileage. Just popped on a new set of tires, did front brakes last night, and a new clutch coming soon. I know this car can run to 300,000.(I've seen them before). Hooray for Honda!!

It would also be interesting to see any repairs other than normal maintenance that has been done, and at what mileage.
For me, they only thing was the EGR clean and mod to stop it from happening again. I believe it was at 63k.

1999 EX V-6 Coupe, getting ready to turn 56K any day now....
You want some repair and replacement stories? How about this....car rear-ended by some bitch in a Pathfinder so it needed a new rear bumper (these were all before this 56K mileage mark and I cant recall exactly what mileage it was at....)......then, some idiot woman makes a left turn in front of me, from the opposite direction (Im going straight on a two-lane road) and its raining and slick on the road, and there was nowhere to go but just into each other.....my poor Accord looked like an ACCORDion----no pun intended; the whole front end was smashed in.....instead of totalling it, the body shop repaired it ($7,000 worth of underhood and cosmetic front damage)....then, my alternator went under 55K.....had that replaced rebuilt from my Honda dealer....then, a rock hits my windshield driving a friend to pick up a used Mustang he bought on a trip from New York to Pennsylvania, makes a pretty big crack, and I need to get the entire windshield replaced.....I also had ripped leather seats repaired already, a fog lamp replaced, the little green LED that lights up next to the sunroof switch telling you if your fog lamps are on or not has burned out.....I also had a new stock radio put it already, after my friend, during installing my amp and sub box, blew the fuse to the head unit and the stock radio wouldnt take the code to re set it, so Honda ordered me a new stock Accord head unit.....
Dude, this list can go on and on......I had white paint splayed all over my car one time when an asshole truck dropped a bucket of paint off the back when they were painting lanes on the way to work one day years ago; I needed to get THAT taken off by a special body shop that worked on the car until all the white paint was removed.....this car has DEFINITELY seen its day, and I cant wait to get rid of her....now, my battery is going at 56K.
I am sure there are alot of other things Im leaving out regarding the pain in the ass this car has been maintaining it, either through regular maintenance, or through accidents and cosmetic scuffs......
