[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m no expert, but moving from a Ford Explorer to a Honda CRV was wild. The Ford was always in the shop. I was there so much I knew the manager’s life story. I loved the Explorer because it was comfortable, but switched to a Honda when it was 10 years old.

Now the Honda is 14 years old and is humming along. All I’ve ever done is gotten oil changes, had the tires rotated, and bought new tires when needed. It had one recall for a seat belt thing.

I want a new car, but it’s really hard to justify getting rid of a car that’s still great. [/quote]

+1.  My Honda minivan is 200K+ miles, 20 years old.  Runs like a champ.  A few big money items along the way - timing belt change at 100K miles, replace engine mounts at about 150K miles and maybe one of the struts a couple of years ago (not sure if it was actually replaced).  Can't seem to be able to find a good replacement for it.. good tradeoff between exterior dimensions, interior space and convenience.  Carmax value -$500.

My other car is a Lexus.  12 years old, 100K-ish miles and no major issues other than the usual and customary.  Carmax value - $9,500.[/quote]
