We have a bit over 203,000 on our 99 EX--last service a few months ago included replacing all of the engine mounts (ouch). Next service on the horizon will include the 2nd timing belt/water pump replacement (another big ouch). Aside from the rattles and clunks, miscellaneous scratches, it has been pretty reliable. Catalytic converter was replaced at 140K. The original engine and transmission are still ticking, aside from some mostly cosmetic fluid leaks, no real issues.
We are not too sure if we are wise to continue to put money into the van and are wondering at what point we should put the van out to pasture. It is being used by one of our older college aged kids--the rattles (or the occasional blown solenoids) do not seem to bother him.
We would like to hear opinions from other OdyClub members if we should keep the van (and do the big buck service at 210K mi) or not.
Thank you in advance!!
