80,000 miles + owners

[grumpy]

This is the first time in decades I've kept a vehicle past 50,000 miles I'm now at 80,000 . I had intended to move to the next generation Pilot from my 04 but financial circumstances prevent that. I'm looking at the 2010 as the next Pilot purchase. So my question is: what, if anything (mechanical), should I do to get another 30,000 miles on my Pilot. And, if you have had your Pilot for this many miles, what might I expect to go wrong/break?

For example: Will I need to replace the spark plugs or antifreeze. Exhaust system concerns?
Timing chain/belt?

At 120k in my '03 with no issues.

Double the mileage for your first tires and brakes to know when you need the second set.

Moved to Maintenance.

at exactly 120K miles already with no issues at all.

WOW. I haven't ditched a car before 150k! Except when totalled by family!

My truck has 150k. My Pilot is now nicely run in at 49k. In four years it will be my oldest son's car as soon as he passes his test guess it will have 130k or so on it by then.

I'm right at 100,000 miles. Pilot is running great. No problems at all. But, I am planning on changing the timing belt.

wwong,
I'm hoping the 2010 I plan to buy will accept the foam pads I purchased from you years ago. Otherwise, I may just keep the Pilot!

Wilson let me know where you end up going, I heard the guys at monrovia honda care on Huntington are excellent, I need to get my wifes timing belt and tensioner replaced on her Ody.

My nephew is a mechanic on the weekend. He said he would change the timing belt on my Pilot and the wife's 97 Accord. He just changed the CV boots on the Accord a couple of months ago. Both sides had holes in them. Fortunately, the grease had not leaked out. So, all he had to do was replace the boot. My nephew specializes in Toyotas and Hondas. Nice to have a mechanic in the family....
