In the 1960's my dad said when your car has 50,000 miles (80,000 KM), get rid of it. I went by that advice until I stopped buying American vehicles and bought Japanese cars. We have a 2013 Honda Pilot that's now got 147,000 KM on it. When we bought it used it had 32,000 KM. We always use the same sales guy, Gregory, and he let us know he knew the owner of the Honda Pilot and it was traded in for a brand new Honda Pilot. All the maintenance was done at the dealership.
When I sold my Honda Civic privately, I gave the new owner all the maintenance records. She knew I took good care of my car and what was done to it. Her Honda Civic had over 300,000 KM on it and it was time to get another car.
Donna, my former neighbour and Santa letter volunteer has a 2011 Honda Pilot with 200,000 KM on it. They are looking for a new vehicle and will purchase another Honda. To date, they've had no major mechanical issues with their 2011.
We've got a few thousand KM's before we trade in. I'm glad they make vehicles you can rely on for many KM's.
