1998 Honda CR-V LX AWD | 250k km | Well maintained, near-new tires | $3,500 OBO

Our beloved first-gen CR-V is ready for its next adventure. At 250,000 km, it's just getting warmed up. These Hondas are famous for running forever, and over the years we've owned it, we've taken care of whatever came up to keep this one doing exactly that.It starts, drives, and stops like it should. The cosmetic wear is honest and shown in the photos: a few scuffs from a life well lived. Surface rust in all the expected places (wheel arches, door panels), some scratches, stains and cracks in the interior. Non smoking driver, no strong odours, interior detailed.

Major maintenance and repairs: Timing belt [2022]; Front struts and shocks; Front and rear brakes; Starter, alternator, and battery; Muffler, with corroded exhaust sections replaced

And it comes loaded with extras: Nearly new all-season M&S rated tires from Kal Tire (Nordman Solstice 4, under 10,000 km, about $1,000 new); Two sets of chains, front and back, so you can put that AWD to work heading up to Mount Washington; Roof rack rails and crossbars; Class 1 hitch (1-1/4" receiver), good for bike racks or small utility trailers up to 1,000 lb; Fold-flat bike rack on the spare tire (fits two); The original radio deck, in case you miss cassette tapes; A box of spare parts (cabin air filter, extra ball joint, and more).

Why we're selling: Our family grew, and the CR-V didn't. We've upgraded to something bigger, so this little workhorse needs a new crew to haul around. Perfect as a first car, a ski hill shuttle, a camping rig, or the reliable backup every household needs. Happy to answer questions about its history. Courtenay. Serious inquiries welcome; test drives for those ready to buy.
