Updating. My Avalanche went to my grandson because I got a smoking deal on a Ridgeline. The Genesis is over 150K and the Odyssey is going over 170K. Both needing nothing but maintenance so far. Don’t tell anyone I wouldn’t mind if the Odyssey will fail. I want a newer one. I’m stupid that way. I’m performance oriented. The odyssey is surprising. The Genesis is quick. The Ridgeline not so much with a 5 speed automatic and AWD. With heavy duty maintenance coming up I may move it along. Usually I let one of the kids have them. The fuel mileage and maintenance coming up. I’ll sell or trade it unless I just do the maintenance. I always had a Chevy of some kind in my yard. I’m not feeling it with the Ridgeline. My brother in law has a Yukon with a 4.8 and no cylinder deactivation. It’s a pretty clean high mileage example. He living in Oklahoma now needs an AWD for emergency’s. His driveway is very sloped. I may suggest a swap. I’m chewing on it while looking around. -
That could very well have easily been from transport damage. You'd lose your $hit if you see how some of these cars come off the carrier needing work. -

Interesting perspective, especially looking back over that many years. My approach is pretty similar now—I'd rather keep a reliable vehicle longer than chase a new one every few years. Depreciation hits hardest at the beginning, so if the vehicle is dependable and still meets your needs, it's usually the cheaper option. I also try to avoid rolling negative equity into the next loan. It can make upgrading feel easier in the short term, but it often means paying for a vehicle you no longer own. If financing makes sense because of a genuinely low interest rate, that's one thing, but otherwise I'd rather put money toward maintenance and drive the current vehicle longer. It tends to work out better financially over time. -
Hmm. Isn't that interesting. Thank you. -
No key on power = no DTCs. I'd pull the underhood fuse box as these are known to get nasty with corrosion. See how things look there. I'd suspect internal damage as well to it.
