HA. It's funny what we tell/ask ourselves isn't it? For the past three or four years I've told myself "Ya know, if this thing lasts till the first of the year i'll reward myself with a new car"..........and each Jan 1 I just can't justify it.

It's becomming a sick game to see how far i can get out of this thing.

Just picked this up from a friend 144k miles. It replaced a 98 Accord with 167k that never cost me a dime. They both wore the same roof rack.

Here is the accord.

If the cooling system in the BMW has 100,000 miles on it you really need to have an experienced wrench check it for you because the radiator, water pump, thermostat and housing can all fail at any time after 70,000 miles and/or 5 years. Due to recycling requirements in Germany and other political influences on design the radiators are aluminum and plastic rather than brass and they just don't last. If you don't catch a failure very quickly and shut off your engine you will at least ruin your cylinder head and maybe more. A good independent shop will probably be a lot cheaper than a dealer for these repairs. It's a good thing 3 series are fun to drive isn't it?

I'm pretty positive the car has had the coolant system taken care of I bought it from a friend who bought it 3 years ago with 109k and she bought it from the original owner who had it maintained religiously at the dealer. The other positive is that it is an electric fan model which takes the weight of the fan off the water pump. Everything looks good right now in the cooling system so I'm just going to keep an eye on it. Right now I have everything sitting in my office to replace the Valve cover gasket and rebuild the Vanos as soon as I have a free afternoon. This winter I also plan to pull the trans and put a new clutch and fix the sticky 5th gear issue. I'm pretty familiar with BMWs my brother has had a few and a good friend collects classics he has a 2800cs, 2002tii, E30 M3, Z1, Z4, and a 335i sedan on order. Luckily I have the facilities and the know how to tackle pretty much anything aside from computer programing. Its the main reason I got rid of the Honda and got the BMW I like to tinker and the Honda never needed anything.

Keep.

My favorite car ever was an '89 Acura Legend coupe with a 5-speed manual. Had to sell the 2-door when we had our second daughter, so we replaced it with a Honda Odyssey minivan. The Odyssey did its job just fine...but I still miss my Acura.

Your car has surely had the cooling system done at least once but it could be due again soon. The water pumps usually start to leak a bit before they fail and the cards have coolant level monitors so you usually get some warning about a failing water pump. The thermostat housing and the connector between the radiator and the overflow tank are plastic. After years of heat cycles the plastic gets brittle and often fails with no warning so your coolant blows out pretty quickly. There are aftermarket METAL housings that can take care of that weak point. There are aftermarket repair kits for the radiator connector problem but opinions are mixed on whether that is a real long-term fix or just a band-aid temporary fix. At my good friends independent BMW shop he stocks all the cooling system components because he replaces a lot of the every month.

its shouldn't be that hard to get some real miles out of a car if you do some routine maintenance

its also pretty easy to kill a car in a small amount of miles if you don't do some of the most simple maintenance

the odometer in my 86 gti stopped at 99k, some dude had it and he autocrossed it, some teenager probably had it before that
i got it and drove it for a few years (not many miles because i bike commuted for years), i've finally done some stuff to it and it's pretty damn reliable still, 6 years later.
it still had the original clutch in it, and the original water pump on it.

its not pretty but it runs strong (for what it is) and it's pretty damn fun to drive, plus it doesn't cost much at all.

2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL-SR, 145K miles. Purchased in April of 2005 as a new 2006 model. I have two Inno bike racks that attach to the factory crossbars if I need to put bikes up top, but most of the time my bike goes in the back seat.

This truck helped build decks, move my kids to college and back, does the weekly dump runs, and is my race vehicle. It is great for race duty as the split rear seat makes for a great changing room. Other than brakes, tires and oil/ATF/VTM/filter changes, it has had the 105K major maintenance. That's it. This truck defines reliability.

Early on I installed a SQ sound system in it. Damping material on all interior metal surfaces including the outer door panels. Touchscreen receiver with GPS, Bluetooth, Sirius, iPod, DVD, USB, wheel controls, analog TV (no digital yet), rear cam. External DSP. 2KW. Underseat subs. This is the business end.

Stick. Clutch was replaced a couple of times but that's a wear item. I don't recall if I put on a muffler or not but honestly I don't think so. As to rings the internals including the head/valves were all unmolested. Most of the miles were highway if that matters. I went to school in Louisiana and worked weekends in Houston, Tx.. The car flooded while parked curbside in Galveston, Tx., water to the bottoms of the seats. It still ran fine but the auto windows didn't work or the locks. I had a new car by then and left it sitting for a couple of months and when time can to move I had to jump it off and when I went to drive it the calipers had frozen to the discs. A young guy at a local midas muffler had seen it sitting there and had expressed interest in it, so I contacted him and sold it for $500.

As a human interest story, he only had 250 but said he would mail me the rest when he got it. I was highly skeptical but was about to leave town and anything was better than nothing so I took it. About 6 months later I got a letter with an almost unintelligible address and low and behold $250

Post below reminded me I think the timing belt was replaced once or twice.

If you don't mind me asking dumb question. The Damping material.....i'm assuming this was done for the sound system but did it obviously make the car a little more quiet on the inside? My Honda is '97 and lets just say it has some road 'feel' that i'd like to eliminate.....for cheap.

It dropped the interior noise between 3-5dB, more at lower speeds, less at higher speeds. I didn't do it to reduce noise, I did it to stiffen the metal and plastic panels for better sound. I covered everything I could with 1-3 layers. I had to remove the headliner, all plastic panels, seats, console, carpeting, everything but the dash.

i've got a 2008 Honda Civic 5MT with 129,000 all original outside of tires, battery & brakes. needs some rear shocks soon, just did the battery (on its 3rd), probably do the clutch in another 30k. Plan on keeping it at least 5 years until my eldest starts driving.

Also a 2011 Honda Odyssey with 169,000, just had timing belt done for first time, pretty much same list of repairs as the civic, except it had the suspension updated around 130,000.

reliable, easy to work on not much else you could want in a car.

Picked up a "garage queen" 2000 Accord two years ago with a whopping 82k on the clock.

Not that I have high mileage, but it's a conversation starter with other 6th gen Accord owners. I'm amazed when they tell me they have 2, 3 and even 400k on the clock.

Looking forward to the next 200k!

I got 450,000 km (280000 miles) out of a 94 jetta. Bought it from a buddy whose dad did body work /insurance repairs with 150k on it, drove it for 7 years, then the shock mounts started to show serious rust through, so traded to my VW mechanic for a beater.

Most bikes it ever had on top was 4, with 4 people in it, a tight fit for all involved.

Now that I drive a company car, doubt I'll ever break 120k on a car again.

Dewd.........that..........is.........amazing. Honda's could very well be the 9th wonder of the world. That's insane mileage for a timing belt.

I used to love Honda (still do just don't own any anymore), but now that I've been interested in Mitsubishi's as of late I'm learning how finicky they are and one area that is MOST NOTORIOUS is their timing belt intervals. For my Montero above it's 70,000 and it his highly recommended NOT to mess with your chances.

Maintenance is BIG reason why Mitsu's get bad rap but if you keep up with maintenance they're just as reliable as Toyo's or Hondas.

I'd have to do some serious digging to find pictures, but I ran through a sequence of three Subaru Outbacks (a '97, a '96, and another '97) where I bought them at anywhere from 60k to 40k and sold them at ~180k. Each with the 2.2l engine and 5sp manual. 27-30mpg highway if you kept it at 65mph, drove dirt roads well enough that Jeep owners were impressed. I did have to replace one head gasket and a number of front CV joints, but the cost per mile to drive them was amazingly low. If I could find another in equally good shape, I'd buy it.

1997 4Runner with 262,000 miles. Had to rebuild driveshaft at 250,00. Runs like a top. Rear window still rolls up and down. Rear wiper and washer work flawlessly. AC very cold. Alpine power amp and Polk component speakers really rock. GF calls it the adventure car. My dog thinks it’s her car. Not my daily driver anymore but it could be. Built in Japan.

THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT.

I’m a little surprised to see people saying anything in the 100k mile range is “high mileage”. I’m on the Tacoma forums and there’s a few Tacos that rolled into the 600s.

Many people will buy a well maintained 200k+ mile taco for decent $

2001 S4, 235k mi., original clutch, original turbos, third timing belt. The original wheels proved to be very soft, so these are Compomotives, which were the choice of rally privateers back in the day.

The worst thing about this car has been that people keep running into the back of it, so the hatch had to be replaced twice.

my father worked for a company in MA that does van transport for special needs, rural schools etc.

total fleet in the multiple thousands of vehicles.

Their rule of thumb was to replace them between 160,000 and 170,000 right before selling them off.

Of the 200 or so vans they had that were the same generation as mine (2011 or newer), they had one timing belt failure and it snapped at 173,000.

I had mine done at 160,000 and the dealership gave me the same :eek: look.

i explained the situation and after pulling the belt, it probably could have gone even longer. no fraying, hard to even tell the old from a new one on the parts counter. all of the techs were amazed.

i am however OCD about car maintenance and do pretty much everything myself. during my typical routine I've constantly checked torque on bolts, belt tensions etc and compared to what the factory service manual says they should be.

The biggest problem with high milleage cars is that at the time to sell them you will get next to nothing for them. No matter how good it looks.

1999 Honda Accord with 210,090

The biggest problem with high milleage cars is that at the time to sell them you will get next to nothing for them. No matter how good it looks.

But it's still better than leasing!!

So that Honda that I started the thread with was sold 2.5 years later with 250,000 miles.

Having bought it used in 2003 with 30,000 miles for $8500 and selling it for $2500.......it provided me with 12 years and 220,000 worry free miles as all I ever did to that thing was change the oil.......actually.......I take that back, I replaced the starter but that was the ONLY thing that ever went wrong with it.

In fact......I recall being on the highway at 70mph and next thing i knew the car lost 80% of it's power, started shaking violently, and every single light on the dash started flashing. Thinking something catastrophic had happened I parked it and had it towed to Honda. Couple days later Honda called me back and said "hey, so your main CPU that runs the entire car sh*t the bed and needed to be replaced.......however......there was a recall on this particular year for that particular issue and Honda has no record of you bringing your car in to get it replaced..........so they went ahead and replaced it for free.....you're good to go." (the car had 200,000 miles on it when it happend :eek::eek:)

I think i stood there and starred at him for 5 minutes before i said anything.

But my point is, granted you might not get top dollar for it when it does come time to sell but if you're able to keep a car for THAT long and put THAT many miles on it then you're definitely coming out ahead.

My '06 Murano S AWD with 201,000 miles. Drives more like a tall station wagon than a SUV. Gets around 24 mpg on the highway and 20 in mixed traffic. The paint on the hood has mostly peeled off and there are multiple dings/dents, but I don't care :-) One roof rack, and there is a hitch rack on the back too. It is spacious enough that we often just put the rear seats down and sleep in the back when we go camping.

I commute by bike these days so I drive it maybe once a week, but it starts right up everytime and keeps on going. I do have to throw some money at it every now and then, but it beats having a car payment.

1996 FJ80 Landcruiser owned from new 425000 miles. Unfortunately totaled it about 5 months ago. Still has original engine and transmission. Only major items were a front axle rebuild, a couple starters, and a lot of brakes. Cooling system hoses all went around 300k. Was using a fair amount of oil from about 350k on but I think more of a failing seal than burning. Still passed smog with original cat though getting a bit worse every two years. Usually just put bikes inside

But it's still better than leasing!!

So that Honda that I started the thread with was sold 2.5 years later with 250,000 miles.

Having bought it used in 2003 with 30,000 miles for $8500 and selling it for $2500.......it provided me with 12 years and 220,000 worry free miles as all I ever did to that thing was change the oil.......actually.......I take that back, I replaced the starter but that was the ONLY thing that ever went wrong with it.

In fact......I recall being on the highway at 70mph and next thing i knew the car lost 80% of it's power, started shaking violently, and every single light on the dash started flashing. Thinking something catastrophic had happened I parked it and had it towed to Honda. Couple days later Honda called me back and said "hey, so your main CPU that runs the entire car sh*t the bed and needed to be replaced.......however......there was a recall on this particular year for that particular issue and Honda has no record of you bringing your car in to get it replaced..........so they went ahead and replaced it for free.....you're good to go." (the car had 200,000 miles on it when it happend :eek::eek:)

I think i stood there and starred at him for 5 minutes before i said anything.

But my point is, granted you might not get top dollar for it when it does come time to sell but if you're able to keep a car for THAT long and put THAT many miles on it then you're definitely coming out ahead.

So no timing belt change in 220000 miles...hmm

06 Tacoma, 145,000 miles - which really isn't that much - don't even think about it when I turn the key every morning. The paint is getting shot though...S Fla sun is killing it

My 2015 outback bought with 4 miles on it just ticked over 180K. The plan is 350k which should be another 3 years. Brakes and suspension have been replaced.

Ha!! Nice catch. I did change my timing belt but did so around 120-130,000 and never replaced it again. I also had a neighborhood buddy do it who charged me $200 and case beer instead of the $800 shops/dealer wanted to charge.
