How many of you 100k-ers change timing belts and at what mile?
My high mileage vehicles were Chevrolets. Most of them had an engine where a pushrod-driven camshaft was placed within the cylinder block and didn't require a timing belt or chain.
I have a low mileage Honda that has a chain driven camshaft. Some of the Toyotas that I've had in the past had a belt that needed replacement every 60,000 miles. The ones with the chains don't take as much maintenance.

How many miles?
What's been fixed so far?
How much longer are you planning to keep it?
The last 3 Chevrolet trucks/SUVs that I've had all clocked well over 100,000 miles on the odometer before I traded them in. They didn't have any issues. 100,000 miles is not a very big deal unless the owner is not very good with maintenance.
Both of the Japanese cars I have are lower mileage, but they also don't have any problems at all. I'm confident that they can make it to 100,000 miles without any serious issues.

118K on my 2012 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. The door locks don't always lock all around when using the key fob remote but too expensive to get fixed so I just manually lock when it fails.
Have not "had" to fix anything on this truck.
Hoping to drive to 200K

I've put alternator. Battery. Belt. Plugs. Oil changes (I change mine by season). Brakes. Rotors. Tires. Thats about all
Gonna drive it until the wheels fall off. Still rides smooth like a Lincoln, will buy Lincoln again. Have a 98 dodge 4x4 in very clean condition that I put 300k on before I had to put an engine and trans in it
Edit- sorry, the first one is an 05 Aviator

Yes, I have put at least 150k on every vehicle I've had without any significant issue.

Just rolled over 369,000 miles on my 1994 Dodge Dakota (a secondary vehicle).
Still gets about 25-27 MPG. It won't be the engine that quits on it, it'll be an electrical connection that I'll never be able to find that kills it.

2005 Prius go 237k before being totaled. Current 07 Prius has 258k and is going strong. Original batteries in both?
Battery in the 2005 was replaced right before the warranty ran out. On the 2007 it is the original battery.

2006 Honda Civic 173K miles and still using. But I don't take it more than an hour or so away. Replaced the water pump - that sucked big time. A/C is going out so I need to decide if I want to replace that or not. Plan on running it till it dies.
2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. 141K miles and still using... but not for long. We are starting to look at replacing it. wife's vehicle and it's starting to fall apart. Replaced the keys, replaced the thermostat a couple of times, replaced the starter and I think the water pump. Leaks oil. Leaks coolant. Could probably get another 25K miles out of it nursing it along but the wife "feels unsafe" in it.
I hate car payments.
