My 1999 CR-V has 148,500 miles and is still going strong. I wish I knew how much more life it has, but it probably has a lot.
 
It has been a great car.

Go for it...100k is still good and will run like new once you tune up the car (new spark plug wire, spark plug, rotor and cover) and . Just make sure the timing belt is new-including the water pump then do the other thing one by one if you can do it yourself like transmission oil, gear oil and coolant.

it's sad you have this kind of problem... did you ever tow your vehicle with your ignition set to off. I 'm just curious because I remember some CRV owner with this towing problem that CRV can only be tow when the ignition is set to on of it will break the transmission. I think there is a recall about this.

I have a 2001 Honda CR-V LX 2WD... I have 251,423 miles on it... Only maintenance I've ever done to it is every 100,000 miles have the timing belt and spark plugs changed... never changed the transmission fluid... Still runs great!

1st Generation CRV Gear Slippage? by suebug

Hi Folks,
My car, a 1999 CRV, was either tampered with or slipped out of park INTO drive a few days ago while idling in my driveway. It then crashed through the gates to the backyard and made impact with the garage, doing considerable damage to the garage, but not to the car. There are scrapes on the bumper but not one dent! The only other way we can think of, that this may have happened, is that perhaps the car was ACTUALLY stuck between neutral and drive but then popped into drive.
 
 
 
Has this happened to ANYONE else? Thanks for your help!

If I were the police officer at the scene, I would have issued tickets for failure to secure the vehicle.
 
Having automatic transmission does not mean you don't need to apply parking brake. Plus, having the parking brake on takes the stress off the tranny, prolonging its life.

i also own a crv which now has 172,000 miles and runs harder than ever. the only thing that ever gave me problems (other than replacing the belts and water pump) was the thermostat. i plan to do some motor upgrades to put me closer to the 200hp range
