Yup. Its all true. At exactly 100,000.1 km, the engine will immediately seize up and require a rebuild. Sad, but absolutely true.

I guess the bset way to answer your question is to say:

Honda offers extended warranty.

they wouldnt risk their ass if 100Kmiles = time for breakdown.

obviously all cars start requiring parts to be changed around 100K+ but the engine, if its not abused should still be good.

You better sell 'em before that 100K. The engine instantaneously implode after 100K.

You better sell it before it happens!! I'm not kidding!
