Time for a New Exp?

I currently have a 2000 Exp EB with approx. 155,000 miles (90% highway) and now have the unexpected opportunity to get a new vehicle. My question is - do you guys think this milage is excessive and its about time I started to look for another vehicle - or does the Exp EB still have some life left in it. I will still be putting on another 100 miles per day whatever I do. Thanks for any comments.

I would keep the 00'. I have an 01' EB and have 98k on it. I could replace it with a newer suv or Expy, but I'll have to carry the payment for an extra 4 yrs. It will be paid off in 1 yr and i plan to drive it till the wheel's fall off. It just costs too much to switch vehicles nowadays. I don't feel your mileage is excessive enough to warrant dumping the Expy. Just keep up with the preventitive maintainence and you should be okay. The 00' and 01' models have been pretty reliable, so unless you have deep pockets or the company will pay for it,you should keep the 00'....Just my 2 cents....

It's unlikely that you will get much for your Expy at that mileage, especially if you trade it in at the dealer. If you have the finances to afford registration and insurance costs, plus a few $$$ for repairs, why not keep it as a second vehicle and buy a less-thirsty sedan for daily driving?
