Just purchased a CX-9. Only my second Japanese vehicle. I keep my vehicles forever, do all the maintenance myself, and hope to do the same with this vehicle.
Here are the vehicles I have had over the years and the mileage before I got rid of them.
1984 300ZX - sold at 185,000 miles....replaced brakes and an alternator
1998 Audi A4 - sold at 150,000..replaced brakes and a control arm
2005 Mercedes Benz ML-350 - did the EGR at 40k, water pump at 80k, Front shocks and crankshaft position sensor at 100K, A/C Pulley Bearing at 105K. Vehicle has 118,000 right now and I have no intention of getting rid of it...
I have read a lot about problems like transfer cases and water pumps, so I'd like to feel good about this purchase and have some people weigh in some super high mileage vehicles!!!!
Thanks
