Mileage
How many miles does a car need to have on it before it starts to need a lot of expensive repair work, such as a new transmission?

it really does depend on the car. I've seen a lincoln town car with 450,000 miles on it. The guy who owns it says that all he does is oil every three thousand miles and changes all the other fluids at factory recommended intervals. Careful with ford trucks. especially new ones. Ive seen several transmission go out at about 120,000 miles

Depends on the car. If you really want to keep the car in good shape, top off your tranny fluids every 1000 miles and ur oil every 2000 miles. I know a guy who still drives a car from 1976 and it has close to 200,000 miles on it and it rides beautifully. Gotta take care of your fluids often.

well that all depends the world record for most mileage on a car is something like more than a million miles on an old mercedes S class. mileage is a relative thing and it takes a different amount of miles to take out different engines. people will tell you that this car or that car is crappy and this car is good. but it doesn't matter where the car is from, or who makes it. any car (seriously any car) can last forever it all depends on how you drive and how the car was built. i've seen people buy a new car and have it die within 60 miles. i've seen someone buy that same car and it lasts them 20 years. cars are all very relative and so are parts engines aren't predictable and neither are transmissions. for every honda that lasts forever there's another that dies in months. for every volvo that never dies there's another that catches fire and never runs again. for every ford thats Found On Road Dead there's another that lives forever. i know my dad has a 1958 chevy pickup truck that has been running strong for almost 50 years on all original parts. you can't predict how a car will act next week, or next year it's all relative.

it depends on what kind of car...hondas are great dependable cars!!! if ur looking to buy a car i wouldnt buy one with more than like 128,000 miles on it but look for one closer to 100,000 or less!!!! n trannys can go out any time, depending on how the car is driven....
