09 Silverado 220,000.....Thoughts?

Re: 09 Silverado 220,000.....Thoughts?
I picked up a Saturn Vue with 118,000 on it. I did the timing belt myself. That was "routine" maintenence. If I had to pay $100/hr WoW.
The hybrid has no 100k timing belt but a set of good quality spark plugs is in order. I would also consider full synthetic oil change in the transmission every 100k. ~ 12 quarts so it's pricy. At 200k the axles and transfer case full synthetic too. NOTE: the drive axles came with synthetic. If you got over 100k miles without a major problem... and you are still maintaining it... I'm betting on 300k. Then who knows. There are no brushes in the permanent magnet drive motors. The rest of the hybrid transmission is clutches, 2 pumps, filters, bushings, seals, and planetary gears.
All replaceable by a good tech or DIY with instructions.
The power electronics are solid state. So if they got 220k, I'd bet on another 220.
I have not seen one at 300k yet but I've been in several over 250k.
Anybody remember when 50,000 miles was worn out?
