2017 Honda CR-V

How long would you look for an 8 YO CR-V with <30k miles?

Just for giggles did a nationwide search on Cars.com and there are 18 listed, all over $20k. They had MSRP of $24-30k.
Less than 30 K miles, OR Carfax showing fluids were changed when they should have been. That adds many more, but you have to either subscribe to Carfax or use a site like Autotrader that shows free Carfax reports on about half of it's vehicles.
 
Honda dealer tecks do a lot of those ac R1234YF compressor seals and system recharge.

BTW, 2016 EX and above trims have 2 usb ports that you can put a flashdrive with MP3 songs on it. I have about 2,000 songs on my flash drive in my 2016.
 
Too many chicken littles...

The 1.5T engine is great. Fantastic mix of outstanding fuel economy, and power, particularly low end torque.

Fuel dilution is mostly an issue with people living in cold climates, and driving short trips. If this describes your usage, change the oil at 5k intervals, which many of us do regardless, and rest easy.

Honda's CVT's are excellent. Bonus points for changing the fluid at 30k intervals, but it's not necessary.

A/C problems are real on the Civic, but I'm not clear on the CRV. I believe the compressor seal is the same, so be aware.
 
Well regardless we will just keep going on our 2017. Not saying I’m laughing at all this stuff but…
Failure rates seem to get exaggerated on automobiles.
What is an acceptable failure rate for a car part - 2%, 5%? Most will say 0%.
When a model shows a common problem there are often hundreds of thousands of cars that never experience that problem.
There are so many factors that can vary from one vehicle to another.
Geographical location is a big one.
The owner's buying, and driving habits are another.
