We have an 04 that is about to hit 100k. All major service work has been done. Typically when do these start to go down hill mileage wise?

 

Expect about $9K on a trade-in if your MDX is in good or better condition. Best time to trade is when you have less than 20K on the odometer and two model years old. Good luck.

 

if it works... keep it

if you have $$$$ to spend, buy another

 

Especially when all major services have been done, mileage is just a number when it comes to Honda vehicles. They are not unbreakable, things do break, but sure not as often as others.

 

OP: Unless you have the new-car-itch, I'd keep it.

Thank you for subsidizing my car purchases.

 

Just keep it or def try selling private more$.

 

How much do you want for it?

I like to buy cars with 100K and we're in the same city

 

There's no "time" to trade up, really. It's all about what you want. There's a user on here who's had something like 39 cars in 40 years, and there's another user who has 400K miles on his Legend.

Your choice, but I say if it works, keep it. There's always something cool about a high-mileage car that's been properly taken care of.

 

There is really no given mileage when things go wrong. Depends on how it is driven, maintained, etc. My 06 tsx has 118,000+problem free miles. It has all the service done by a acura dealer I think is excellent. I know because of the high mileage the trade in would be much lower. I plan to keep it-next goal 200,000 miles. Love it.

 

Hey, I resemble that remark, but it's almost 43 years now.

 

I'm not sure how many people drive less than 10K/yr in their MDXs (less than 20K in 2 years).

So I'll bite, can you elaborate on why this is the best time to trade in your vehicle?

 

IMO that would be the worst time to trade. The first couple of years is when depreciation is at its worst. You're really not getting your money's worth by selling after two years.

 

I think it all depends. My dad historically liked trading at 100k but we've kept the Civic well past that with little issues so it and the Odyssey have kind of hung around. (153k and 132k respectively)

Dad's Infiniti has 98k now and still runs fairly well. He plans to drive it into the ground instead of trading...

I generally think it's time to trade when the repairs start piling up and the trips to the mechanic/dealer start becoming more and more frequent... That, and when you don't trust your car to start up anymore.
