<p>I hope the title of my thread doesn’t jinx me ;)</p>
<p>My 2004 Honda Odyssey will hit 100,000 this afternoon! I’ve have never kept a car long enough to see this. (I know, it’s almost as if I’m expecting fireworks or something, lol.) </p>
<p>I’m curious to know how long some of you have kept your cars.</p>
<p>We have a 1990 car with 90K! It’s slowing just falling apart from age…a mirror here, a gas cover there…but just keeps on running!</p>
<p>Congrats and welcome to the Ody Century Club. ;)</p>
<p>I’ve got a 2002 Odyssey with 153,000 miles and it needs to last at least 14 - 20 more months. (I think it will. Nothing’s wrong. Knock wood.)</p>
<p>My husband currently drives a 1963 Ford pick-up & a 1992 Ford t-bird supercoupe. ( he was the 2nd owner for both)
I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty. ( It had been a leased vehicle)
For the most part we do our own work on the cars.</p>
<p>I hardly drive and have a 1989 Mazda with less than 60,000 miles. Runs beautifully.</p>
<p>My primary vehicle just rolled over 177,000 miles. It is running great.</p>
<p>My wife’s vehicle has 171,000 miles on it.</p>
<p>I’d like to get each vehicle to around 215,000 ~ 225,000 miles before replacing them.</p>
<p>Our 94 Caravan has about 130,000 miles.</p>
<p>2006 Civic is up over 60,000 already. But I sure don’t expect it to hit clunker status anytime soon. (It still feels like a new car to me.)</p>
<p>1996 Subaru Outback has 236,000 running fine, looks good, but we have started to baby it (It was our primary car and then our sons car while they were in high school, now H drives it occasionally)</p>
<p>1996 GMC pick-up truck 192,00 Has no air conditioning anymore, but otherwise runs great. It is a workhorse.</p>
<p>2004 Subaru Outback – our primary car, 178,000. Runs great</p>
<p>I guess we drive a lot.</p>
<p>'04 BMW X-3 already has 168,000 and runs like a dream with minimal amount of upkeep.
'02 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 180,000 also runs great (but looks a little rough around the edges)</p>
<p>I have a '73 dodge dart that just turned 225,000 and with no engine or tranny rebuild.</p>
<p>'98 Acura CL with 236,000, our S drives it. His sister hopes it makes it to her in a year.
'06 Honda Odyssey 131,000 going strong, wouldn’t even think of trading it in now
'03 Infiniti G35 124,000 runs great</p>
<p>We drive our cars for a long time. 100,000 is just warming them up here!</p>
<p>In our family, at 100,000 miles we are just getting to know the car!</p>
<p>Right now our 98 toyota sienna van has 179,800 miles and the 2007 Volvo is a baby @ 50,000 miles. </p>
<p>My general rule of thumb is that when we get to a total of 300,000 miles, one of the cars should probably go.</p>
<p>I had an 18 year old Chevy Nova that I inherited after college. I don’t remember how many miles it had, but it passed through 3 other relatives before I got it, and it went to my sister after I was done with it. It finally died when it was over 20 years old.</p>
<p>Our 2003 Toyota Sienna has 160,000+ miles and is still going strong.</p>
<p>Last year I got rid of my 1997 Nissan Maxima at 130,000+ miles. The deferred maintenance was piling up (ball joints, power window, brakes, tires, clutch was getting iffy, etc), and rather than put a lot of money into it we decided to get rid of it. I loved that car though. I still miss it. Nothing like shifting your own gears…</p>
<p>'77 Suburban ran for 20 plus years with 150k+, rusted to death in '98 before any mechanical failure </p>
<p>'77 Honda Civic we had for 15 years, maybe 120k when we sold it.</p>
<p>'87 Honda Civic Wagon for 17 years, 130k when we donated it.</p>
<p>'88 Suburban had 150k+ but only lasted to '05</p>
<p>'90 Dodge Dakota with 160k still running.</p>
<p>'88 GMC pickup. 150k, still going strong</p>
<p>'90 Ford Probe, 140k when tranny went in '05.</p>
<p>'05 Scion XB with only 50k… Hoping at least ten more years.</p>
<p>My 2002 Odyssey has 161,000 miles on it. I plan to keep it for at least 4 more years. It still looks like new.</p>
<p>Wow, glad to hear my van’s in good company! And still a “young’un” with 100k miles!</p>
<p>One nice thing about living in California - no rust.</p>
<p>My son has my 1996 Toyota Camry at college - 150K miles. My mechanic tells me it will last at least another 50K miles. It’s a keeper.</p>
<p>I’m driving a 1996 Saturn with 95K miles. Air conditioning doesn’t work, I’ll have to either get the compressor fixed or sell the car (it might cost more for repair than the car is worth). Decision postponed until next summer :)</p>
<p>Bionic Pickup (“We can rebuild it; we have the technology!”) is a 1996 Ford Ranger pickup with 120K. S1 & S2 learned to drive a standard transmission on it. We’ve never had to replace the clutch; only replaced the brakes at 80K.</p>
<p>The Bionic Pickup has been through 2 accidents when S2 was rear-ended twice in 5 weeks (hence the nickname). This was the same year that I was on a first-name basis with every auto body shop in town. S2 also “cooked” the tires down to their steel belts while racing a Corvette on an obstacle course (truck was only 4 seconds slower). </p>
<p>Now S1 is driving Bionic to/from his first job after college until he saves money for his own car. Bionic Pickup is definately a keeper.</p>
<p>I should add that we bought Bionic Pickup brand new in 1996 when a tree fell and crushed our previous car.</p>
<p>My Pontiac has over 190,000 miles on it. It is a heap. Was totaled out by the insurance after a major hail storm so looks like it has been battered with a baseball bat. The back 2 windows won’t stay up so are held up with duck tape. The AC does not work. And when it rains the carpet gets really wet - not sure where the water is from (this started before the windows broke). Not worth spending money on. But it runs, so I still drive it. Would like to get a “new to me” car with really super mileage. but hope this one limps along a bit longer. Next year at least.</p>
<p>Husbands F 350 has well over 250,000 miles. Still runs pretty well but we disabled the horn because it would randomly honk at people.</p>
<p>Both kids cars have in the mid 150,000s - not sure exactly what.</p>
<p>I drive a 1995 Toyota Corolla wagon with 234,000 miles on it. I hope to make it last until my 12th grader is through college. I’ve had a few things replaced (clutch, radiator) but the engine seems fine. It does not look pretty but it works!</p>
