Roughly 200,000 miles now on our 2008 Honda Civic. Still runs great.
Now you are talkin' my language!
Just traded in my 2000 Volvo S40, 16 years old, 79,000 miles!
Had a close commute when working, mostly used DW's car for longer trips.
For the replacement, I wanted all the new safety features, but that usually meant top-of-the-line trim, and far more $ than I wanted to spend. Hard to justify when I drive so few miles. Though the new car will be the main one now, so a few more annual miles expected. And there aren't that many new cars for my remaining time on this earth!

I drive a 1999 BMW 528, just turned 120,000. Build date was 10-23-1998, so that makes it 18 years old. I've been babying that car the last few years, but if you keep up with the oil changes......it will run forever. This is probably the last car I'll buy.
Had an 11/2000 build 528it - great car! Bought it with about 250k on it and show my last fillup on 9-30-2015 with 325,510 miles. Motor, AC,cruise etc all worked great but there were peripherals that would be high dollar to fix - and I figured if the money got spent on one little thing it would start an orgy of failures and spending. Passed it to my nephew, who delivered the coup de gras, and got a 2008 328it with 97,000(?). Not the car the 2000 was - and just spent about $1000 on the water pump etc. Maybe it will grow on me

I like the way you think, and I get your handle now. I sold my 97 528 this year with 155k miles. Last year I bought a 2003 530 to replace it. It just has 93k miles.
Love the E39s.
