My parents have an 06 EX-L with about 180k. 

They have replaced the valve cover gaskets, and currently the rear main seal has a small leak (not worth fixing). It burns a little oil, and now the AC compressor is start to go out. 

But that's about it for major repairs.

Same model here.

I did the 100,000 mile service plan. I change the transmission fluid every 25k.

Only repairs, I have had to do was replace clutch on auto sliding passenger door but God only know how many times a yr it opens and closes. I had to replaced front A/C blower.

Only pending issue is a small valve tap. Honestly, one the most comfortable road trip vehicles I have ever used.
