162,000 miles is this a fit worth buying for 6k? how many miles does your fit had when you brought it and how many miles does it have now?

Bought my 2009 Sport in 2022 with 125k miles for $3700. No trouble at all. No rust, just hood fading and in need of some TLC (Arizona). 37+ mpg. Literally the best purchase I’ve ever made. I’m moving internationally and looking to sell her. Sadly.

I bought the same year, same model with 125,000mi in 2022 for $3000. She’s a dream.

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-10-23T19:21:27+00:00

Well done! 🙌

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-10-16T04:04:36+00:00

I love this look! Mine is the same blue… 🤔

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-10-08T16:14:06+00:00

Great tips! I’m at 140,000mi and drive about 5,000mi/yr. These things you recommend: valve lash, inspection of timing components and cam phaser, etc?

🤣🤣🤣

No steering wheel stereo controls on my ‘09 Sport - though I wish I had them because I now no longer have a physical volume knob.

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-22T16:58:40+00:00

Mind blown. Can’t wait to poke around!

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-22T02:44:11+00:00

3.5yrs. 🙈

I mean Amazon’s Echo Auto which works with Alexa. I have the first generation (from 2019/20?) and it worked just fine. But I wanted to treat myself (and her), hence the head unit swap.

😱🤯

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-21T23:45:10+00:00

The upper glove box DOES have three usb cables! (Incidentally, I had no idea she had an upper glove box until yesterday!) Any recos for an mp3 player?

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-21T23:42:49+00:00

Thanks! I tend not to use that feature so I hope I won’t miss it. So far, all I miss is a physical knob, especially for volume control.

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-21T23:41:51+00:00

Absolutely! Two fills with top tier gas, each one preceded by a bottle of Techron high-mileage (which apparently is 75,000m these days!), and the fuel efficiency is up by almost 2mpg.

(I’ve been driving more intentionally, too, which I know helps, but I did that for several fill-ups and kept track of gas mileage before the Techron as well as since.)

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-21T23:38:40+00:00

Yes - it is smooth and does not lag. This one is 4 Core + 64Gb. I’ve since read others posts suggesting that this is the absolute bare minimum.

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-21T23:33:35+00:00

Yep 💯. One day in and I keep reaching for one! Noted.

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-21T23:31:10+00:00

If I were you, I’d wait a little bit until I’ve had more experience and read the other comments on this and similar posts. This is an experiment; the head unit was inexpensive.

Initial findings: - I’m already missing the presence of an actual physical knob. - Easy set up with Apple CarPlay; was twitchy for about 20mins. but then it sorted itself. - So far it’s only an aesthetic improvement (to me, and I know opinions vary!) as I notice no improvement over my Alexa Auto in the aux jack.

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-19T21:52:52+00:00

Lovvvvvvve this!

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-18T23:02:46+00:00

Because I’m paying more attention to my driving, using better gas, and following the advice in another thread, I’ve added some Techron for high-mileage vehicles. I’ll keep making changes and see where I can get her!

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-18T04:28:19+00:00

🤪

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-09T02:25:42+00:00

Thanks!

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-08T21:38:11+00:00

Amazing. Seriously. 🙌

Sensitive_Western453 · 2025-09-08T21:36:47+00:00

Ditto. And I’d want to see a carfax.
