I want to own my future Honda for as long as possible. Get it in good shape. Stick it out and not sell it like I did last time.

The thing I learned is that everything is fixable with enough effort and resources.
+1 ... That's what I learned years ago. Willpower, labor, and knowledge (&acceptance, lol)! You'll save money this way over the long term, assuming building your life/family/career requires a car.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
