I just traded in my '11 F150 with 215K miles. It had oil, coolant, and freon leaks. The AC blower motor going out was the last straw. I'd still be driving it if it wasn't 90+ degrees already.

2004 GMC Sierra Z-71, 230,000 miles.

Still runs like a top. It's a step side so you can't replace it.

I have 5 vehicles, but my daily is a 2014 MDX with 150k miles. Runs like a top. Also have a 2000 excursion with 200k miles. Runs and looks great, but at 9mpg she doesn’t get driven often.

2013 infiniti G37x, 136k miles, this car is fun to drive and the drivetrain is bulletproof. Hope to have it for 4 or 5 more years.

2012 Acura TL. 135k miles. Great work car. I travel and get mileage reimbursement. Even with premium gas at over $5/gal, with the good gas mileage and $0.58/mi reimbursement, I still make money on work trips.

Paid cash for it in 2015 when the market was down on used cars. I hope it goes another 135k miles. I don't want to replace her now. It's definitely "cheaper to keep her" in today's market.

2003 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, 180k miles.

I think I had an O2 sensor go out once, but otherwise everything still works (knock on wood).

Electric cars seem to be missing from this thread


I have always driven Honda Accords until the wheels fall off. They just fell off my last one because i wrecked it (well, someone else wrecked it.) Thinking of getting an Accord hybrid. Anyone have any anecdotal reliability info?

I had something like 285k on my last truck and its still running the roads with about 350k on it. Has had a transmission, power steering pump, and air conditioner.

Repairs are wayyyy cheaper than new cars.

03 land cruiser. 190k on the clock. Runs perfect, no plans for anything new for a while. Gas mileage is atrocious but other than that, great truck.
