You're probably going to hate me with this one... My 2001 "Red" turned 107,500 (or more - I forget) last week. I have replaced the battery twice, the plastic water reservoir tank (leaked like a sponge), and the drive belt once. Other than that - it ain't broke...yet. It starts just fine on the first spin (Looking where the plugs are located (eeek) hasn't excited me - so haven't touched them). I drive mostly freeways (in Houston more like 4 lane parking lots) and consistent 21~22 MPG with A/C on all the time (Remember - Houston...). Of course, Something may go south soon but so far this has been the best auto I've owned. Someone at the factory really did this one right.

Er..ah..make that 110,500. (Note to self, have eyes checked and move closer to work..) I put Goodyear Assurance on my van about 30K ago (insert Bob rechecks mileage here) - very nice tires-smooth-good handling in rain (Houston, again..) 80K warranty. I haven't seen any wear yet. |

I took my 2002 MPV in for its 60k service yesterday. Total cost was just over $500. That is very steep, I know, considering what they did: tranny flush/fill, coolant flush/fill, new air and cabin filters, oil/filter change, full inspection, tire rotation (I told them not to do it as it was just done, but they didn't deduct anything for not doing it), throttle body cleaning (I argued about that, but the service writer was pretty insistent on the value of it), and a few other things. I declined an extra $149 for a "fuel system cleaning"; I'll put some cleaner in the gas tank and save about $146. I knew going in that it would be at least $399, not including the cabin filter or TB cleaning. The only reason I went ahead with it is that doing the 60k service at this dealership enrolled me in their "free oil changes for life" program. I figure I'll have the van for nearly 4 more years (until the extended warranty expires) and about 11-12 oil changes. At $25 a pop, that's about $300 right there. Plus they do a thorough inspection during oil changes and a free wash. So I thought that overall it was worth it. Oh, and I asked them about a problem with the fuel gauge not reading Full, and they said the fuel sending unit is bad and ordered the part. The extended warranty will take care of that one.

Replying to: jipster (Aug 14, 2007 6:25 pm) Actually now that I think of it, they may have taken something off for the non-rotation, since they originally quoted me $399 for the 60k service and then added the cabin filter replacement ($69 including filter) and the throttle-body cleaning. |
