[quote=Anonymous]It's a 2006 Honda Odyssey. We are having transmission issues that warrant getting a new transmission soon. Our mechanic (who we trust and have been going to for about 10 years) told us a new transmission would get us at least another 100,000 miles. It took 8 years to get to 100,000 miles. That would mean keeping the car at least another 8 years (barring anything else happening). This puts us with a 16 year old car. What would you do? I will say that the idea of putting a large amount of money into the car and getting rid of it in 3ish years is something DH and I talked, but that just means spending more money. Does anyone know someone who kept an Odyssey for a LONG time (over 10 years)? How do they fare? We are also at the point in maintenance to have the timing belt replaced (which I understand is also somewhat expensive (although not nearly as much as a transmission).[/quote]
