Would it be a bad idea to trade in my wife’s 2007 Acura MDX with 110,000 miles for a 2007 Yukon with double the miles, but it’s $7000?
The upside is it’s a GM machine and parts are general cheap compared to Honda’s upscale brand.
What says the denizens of Oppo?

I’d be sketch. ‘07's seem to eat clocksprings and IPCs. Electrical is expensive even if mechanical isn’t.
But the MDX ain’t no magical reliability machine and it’s gonna get reaaaaaal expensive real shortly here.
I’d suggest 5.7 WK Grand Cherokee but nobody is allowed to look until I secure mine.

220k miles is an awful lot. Parts may be cheaper but you might find yourself replacing things that much more often.

$7000 for a Yukon with 220k miles? I'm a GM guy, but hell no.

it would be a bad move, 200k on anything is not something you want to rely on. 130k is around the mark I won’t own a car past if it’s a daily . People use d to think 100k was the bad mark, but I’ve found in my experience working with used cars for 21 years that 130k + seems to be the point where it’s constantly something.
If you want to maximize your car value and get a lower mileage vehicle I think that minivans are criminally undervalued because the stigma (just like the station wagon stigma that ruined us getting the cool ones here). If you need the SUV for family hauling, minivans can’t be beat and are quite useful for the occasional large item haul.

This, very much. I am definitely a GM guy, and realize their reliability is much better than it used to be, but 220k is a lot of miles for a bowtie-mobile.
With that said, I would have thought a Honda product with 110k would still have a lot of life left in it. Is the reliability poor, or the parts really expensive- or both?

Easy pass. There’s better vehicles out there for that budget and with fewer miles. GM full-size vehicles have an issue with the offset steering wheel which will try to destroy your spine over time, not to mention the various mechanical and electrical components, and especially potential rust for that generation. If it were a Sequoia , Expedition, or Navigator I would have a LOT more confidence in it, as long as the Exp & Nav had good records of spark plug services.

11 years old. Over 200k on the clock and $7k. CP for me. Could probably find something cheaper with less miles and newer.

I think I’ve almost got my wife talked into a minivan. Her parents are moving to our neck of the woods next year; they’re getting up there in age, and a minivan might be easier to get in and out of than a lifted SUV.

Both.
I’ve mentioned in the past that I understand high-milage vehicles require lots of maintenance, but we’ve dealt with lots of maintenance in under three years, and it’s all been expensive.

Bad idea trucks are expensive to maintain and most things would have to have been replaced at this point for it to not be a money pit.

I wouldn’t for a 2007. 2009 or newer gets you the
6speed instead of a 4speed transmission.

I'll go even further, $7k is a lot for anything with 220k miles. Even a Toyota truck with that many miles, should be half that price.

Excellent point.
