Life span depends on how well they are taken care od, i have read about cars going close to 200k miles im sure some have gone more, repairs can be a bit pricey but it all depends on what needs to be repaired

The first KKM ran in 1958, so the life span would be about 46 years so far.

About the same as any other car that is 16 years old, which means it is a crapshoot at best. A lot depends on the condition of the car you buy.

BTW, please save the swearing and gangsta slang for the Honda forums.
