As long as you do regular up keep, absolutely. Oil change, tire change, brake pads, fluids, etc. just basic shite will keep it running. And don’t drive like a NASCAR driver.

Keep oil, gas, and other fluids topped off, it'll run until YOU are just sick of looking at it. Or you are just sick of nickel and dime repairs on shite that fails like power windows, sunroof, mirrors etc.

Little Fut #1 put 100+k on a '08 with zero issues (sold it and got an SUV).
Little Fut #2 has a '12 with 110k on it with zero issues so far.
Little Fut #3 has a '16 with 30k on it, zero issues so far.

Accords are wonderful.

I know a traveling salesman that put 500,000 miles on one and then got hit and totaled it. He immediately bought another.

He never had any engine or transmission issues.

How trustworthy are the oil change percentage lights on the Accord? My daughter has a 2008 model and she goes by the light all the time but I just trust using that as much.

220,000 miles

2007 Honda Accord EX-L i4

I think I'm going to have to put some money into the front end. Shocks are noticeably going bad. I plan to keep it for at least 300k miles as long as maintenance costs do not exceed monthly payments for a new vehicle.

200k is easy.

Yep.

Got to 150000 on mine. Then gave it to my sister (no pics) and she put another 100000 on it.

Routine maintenance only and a couple sets of tires.

I think the life expectancy of an Accord is around 325K.
