How much longer do you think a 17 year old Honda Odessey with 200,000 miles will last?

It's a runabout… Run about a month.
Depends how well take care of it's been. If it's one-owner and comes from a family where middle-age people drove it and teenagers never drove it, then it's probably got a good 50,000 to 100,000 miles left in it before anything major goes wrong. If it's a third- or fourth-owner van that has changed hands between people who drive cheap cars and tend to drive cars hard without doing the scheduled maintenance, it could conk out any day.
Things to look for would be if it's blowing any white or blue smoke out the exhaust. If you can see smoke, something's up. Also, when you drive it, take note of how it shifts. Like when you punch the gas, does it downshift easily or does not or does it slip. Those are all bad signs.
The automatic transmission are junk in those things. But check the transmission fluid. If the tranmssion fluid is nice and pink then you might still have some life left. If the transmission fluid is dark brown then it can be on its last legs.
About 48 hours.
Hopefully long enough to sell it.
A few weeks, maybe
- Would you purchase a 2004 Honda pilot for $6,000.000 that has 216,000 miles on it? I'm just browsing online looking at cars for sale and a lot of them have 200k or more miles on them and they want $4,000 or more. Why do people sale their cars for such a high price with a lot of miles on them? Its not just Hondas its all types of cars private and dealers as well
- I have a 2000 Honda Civic with 140,000 miles on it. Do you think the timing belt has been changed? I read somewhere that they are supposed to be changed at 105,000 miles, or seven years. My car has a lot more miles than that, and twice the age. Do you think the belt has been changed before? Or is it possible it's the original belt? Would the original have lasted this long?
- Is 200,000+ miles too many to consider for a used Honda, Toyota, etc? I have been trying to find something like an Accord, Civic, Corolla, or Camry for $3000 or less. Something reliable to get me around town within 30 mile drives. Many in this range have 220,000 or so miles, though I have found 1 or 2 with high 100's. Is the 200k miles a psychological barrier or should I even consider a car with such high mileage?
- How much longer do you think my car should last me? I've had my car for a little more than three years. It's a Honda accord 1993. It never had no major problems. My only concern is how it is eating up/leaking oil. My dad helps me keep up on my tires, brake shoes, ect. But everywhere i park ii leaves oil spots underneath my car. But other than that I've never had it break down or nothing. A couple of odd noises here and there but no noises lately. I'm just wanting someone else's opinion. It has 18841 miles.
