[@nobodynoone2500]

If you buy/drive a crv of this era, take the plunge and replace all the suspension bushings, they ride amazing when working right. Get the valves adjusted. Change fluids. (Honda MTF for good manuals, GM Syncro-mesh only if its grinding. Use the honda stuff for the rear diff if a 4wd) You can get a disc conversion for these as well using prelude parts. CEL codes at this point are going to be p0420 for old cat (you can use a defouler if not EPA). Most go about 250k before needing major work. The 99-01 models are more desirable with more horsepower, and slightly better interior plastics. Relays are the most common no crank fix irl. These 1st gen crvs are the only ones with double-wishbone suspension, (almost) the same as the integra. Which is why fixing the handling is so worthwhile. Hope this helps someone.

[@mediaguy4037]

I prefer the 2003+ CRV's. The engine has a timing chain, which means no maintenance except on time quality oil changes. Those older CRV have belts with interference engines, if it breaks, get ready for a engine swap.

[@bryguy4golf]

The valves are scheduled for adjustment like every 30k or something. You can still find 1st gen 5speed AWD crvs for cheap and theyre super fun in winter.

[@19580822]

I have a '99 CR-V with 361,000 on it. Still my daily driver. The only major work I've done to it was a valve job. Those 1st gen. engines had soft valve seats, and if you didn't keep the lash adjusted, it would decrease until the exhaust valve(s) burned. Even if you did, you would eventually run out of adjustment. To compound this problem, the owner's manual states the adjustment interval as "100,000 miles". Come to find out, it only states this in the U.S. version. All others say 30,000 if memory serves. Anyway I've had it for 15 years and it's been a great car, and since I hit a deer 2 years ago (right after cancelling my comprehensive insurance), it's officially a beater! Love your channel Scotty!

[@12guppies]

Changed rotors, calipers, resonator mid-pipe, mufflers, starter, etc. like what I had expected from a 23 year-young SUV but nothing else unexpected went wrong, except the ignition switch that caused it to stall while on the road.

I bought my 1998 CR-V in 2000 for about 9K with about 90K miles on it from the original owner. I've had it all these years and is now up to 439,500 miles. I'm hoping that if I make it to 500,000 miles that the Honda dealer will make me some sort of a sweet deal on a new(er) car!

I bought a 2000 cr-v for $500. I had to spent $300 more on a new power steering and I'm slowly fixing some other minor problems, but it's a great car for under $1000. Thanks for your advice, Scotty!

I just bought a very nice one for a garage kept one….4750$ total and the owner had done over 2000$ work on it and just surface rust, all functional and a Check engine just popped up, 145k miles 4x4. Not the smartest financial choose but I love how well the car is.

[@songthirtyone]

I got so lucky, I got one that had been in the same family since new. The father of the person I bought it from is a retired mechanic who looked after it. It has zero mechanical issues, no scratches or dents, Absolutely everything works as it should. They even added an aftermarket stereo, a remote starter and an LED bar to it a few years ago. When I bought it, the timing belt had been replaced only 5K ago! It was great in the snow already then I put a set of studded Nokians on it and now it's Canadian winter beast! I sometimes can't believe my CRV is 24 years old. I can't say enough good things about these CRVs, they are definitively among the best AWD cheap cars you can get.

I just got my very own first car yesterday at 26, a 2006 CR-V with 189000 miles for 1k. My uncle took great care of it for 14 years before me and now that's my goal too as I'm sure it'll be a gem. Being 6'8", I agree, not the most comfy seat but I'm getting used to it and damn right it's roomy. Super fun to get out of town for a ride on country roads. Hopefully I won't break a sweat getting the car out of the street when there'll be feets of snow here in Canada. I think I'm in love, I even got them windows spotless with windex and the little tree! I just discovered Scotty's channel too this week. I know I'm late but hey, thank you for making my post-purchase experience even more reasuring. You got a great sense of humour and I appreciate your very informative and passionate videos, keep it up king!

[@EwfrGomulee]

Got myself a 2001 automatic Honda CR-V over here in the UK, I absolutely love it. The last owner seemed to look after it mostly except a few dents here and there but it is an excellent car and I've been really enjoying it. I've spent a fair amount getting it serviced and things fixed but it's an awesome car, simple interior which is light and not dark and oppressive which is great. Definitely a car I want to keep for years to come 😁

I am driving a 1998 CRV. My father bought it second hand when I was a kid. Then he passed it on to me. Now I am driving my kids in it. 23 years and 300 000 km later I still haven't changed anything on that car except fluids, tyres and the battery. This car withstood even my wife's driving lessons! I am not an offroader by any means but have been driving this thing in Eastern Europe where the roads are quit crappy and temperatures vary considerably (the car stays outside, I don't have a garage). And yet, the suspension is still the original one, the AC is intact, the transmission is fine (it's a manual)... Would recommend it to everyone without any hesitation! :D

[@andybenitez7412]

Honda CR-V could have been my first vehicle, my mother told my dad no it has a higher rollover chance... dads response was to get me a 94 Nissan Maxima. I was older than it by two whole years. Lasted me 6months. Starter and transmission died mid intersection twice. I was driving a death machine. Dad bought it for 1200 and put about 500 dollars worth of work into it. Smh shoulda pushed back but oh well it was my first vehicle.

Only six problems with my old CRV: 1) valve clearances weren't maintained, caused a head rebuild 5 years ago, 2) automatic door locks haven't worked for 12 years, 3) key can't lock or open the doors, my second key still works ok, 3) chrome on the driver-door latch handle is flaking off, 4) a small dent in front-left fender from a garden rake falling on it, 5) driver seat-belt button came off, and 6) the vinyl spare tire cover is falling apart. Not bad for 23 years (146,000 miles). May keep it till it turns 25.

It's like having a small Jeep that never breaks. Also, because its a simple upright box, the thing holds a ton of cargo (and it has a terrifically designed roof rack).
