I disagree. By about that mileage you've seized the rings and in a couple years the cylinders are so worn it chuggs oil and fouls spark plugs and catalytic converters. I don't care if the car were driven 1 mile a year, I'd still want 6 month oil changes.
Didn't you say before that to you a 15-year-old car was too old to be worth buying?

Ya well the Honda isn't her car, and she's moving out-of-state. I'm not sure if buying a different 1980's Honda would be a good choice with a $10,000 budget and that kind of change in circumstances.
