It is harder to keep a vehicle long term than some people think. I'm talking over 200,000 miles and keeping it as your daily driver with a decent commute. But I love high mileage stories and always intend on keeping my cars long term, but it is some work.
I kept a Honda Accord all the way till 289,000 miles once - bought it new - and just kept it going. Not easy though - had to replace the steering rack, almost every piece of the suspension (three times front and back), rack and pinion, Charcoal canister (twice), gas tank, exhaust (twice), brake and fuel lines (twice), multiple sensors multiple times, subframe (actually rotted out), countless tires and brakes, axles, batteries, engine mounts (twice), radiator, radio, half the knobs and buttons on the interior were broken, paint was faded, steering wheel shimmied, engine would stall at idle.
Wanted to get it to 300,000 but it was just too much and not something I trusted anymore as a daily. Once (or twice) the calipers stuck on the highway...darn thing smoked all the way home. Probably should have mentioned that I replaced that calipers (three times). Lol.
