Used Honda CR-V for Sale in Arlington, VA

My 2006 Honda CRV is one of the most solid vehicles I've owned. It's currently 9 years old, with nearly 150,000 miles on it, and it still drives as well as it did when we first purchased it. Aside from the regular upkeep involved with standard maintenance (oil changes and the like), I've never needed to have the car in for repairs or unexpected issues. In terms of fuel economy, it gets more than decent gas mileage, and doubly so considering the size of the car. The interior is also solid quality, and mine has endured many years of carrying people of a variety of sizes with ease. The rear storage section is also the perfect length, width and height for my dog (a large German Wirehaired Pointer) to comfortably lounge his way through many road trips (and more importantly, the non-sloped rear window means that he can stand upright while looking out the back).

What I love this car is its durability. My car is now over 16 years old and yet it is running well, and the engine is still in great condition. I am nearing 200,000 miles and have not had any major issues. The gas tank is relatively small so you have to refuel more often than you would other cars of this size. But the fuel economy is acceptable. I have also had some issues with the cooling system and had to spend a few hundred dollars on it. I have to add water coolant regularly to keep the engine from overheating. Another complaint I have is that it is slow on acceleration, especially on an incline. It just takes energy to get it up the hill without hitting the gas hard. Other than that it's a reliable car. Maintenance doesn't cost much for such an old car. I take it for an oil change every few months with full synthetic oil and that helps. I have a rooftop window that opens, which is great in the warmer months. There is an outdoor table at the bottom of the trunk of the car, which is super convenient when going on picnics outdoors.
