197,700 next oil change should be right around the 200,000 mark, but 300k? wow. still stock drivetrain?
 
143k.

I've put on 18k since 07. I hope to get to the 200 mark in the next 10 years :rolleyes:. It'll take a while though as my commutes aren't that long but damnit I'll get it there.

Just rolled over 305,000 . The guy I bought it from owned it from day one- he bought it off his lease when it was up. He used it for long distance business trips and was meticulous with maintenance- synthetic every 5,000 miles etc. I have put 3,500 miles on it and not used a drop of oil yet. The motor is strong as ever and quiet, trans shifts wonderfully, cruise doesn't work, one of the midrange speakers rattles a little and the motor for the roof has given up the ghost. I just changed the air ride over to coil, still had the factory except for one bag. The other bag was going bad so out of convenience I swapped to coil overs but left everything else intact so i can change back at a later date if i wish (after college).

Keep the faith man- it'll happen. I think you have used your allotment of engines anyway...

That is VERY impressive.
 
152,758.3

'96, 3rd owner.

Was originally a California car, and most of the clear on the hood, roof and trunk is gone, so could look a little better........but runs great.

Been swapped to coils by previous owner, but the engine, transmission, rear end, etc. are all original with no rebuilds.


Averaging 20.3 mpg around town right now, 30-32 highway.
 
Odometer reads around 83,600 now.
Age of the car = 16 years old.
Paint on the car = 16 years old, 83,000 miles.
Interior of the car = 16 years old, 83,000 miles.
Engine Block = ~8 years old, ~ 3000 miles.
Blower = ~8 Years Old, ~12,000 miles.
Transmision = ~ 8 years old, 3000 miles.
Hub Swap and Brakes - not sure, they weren't new when they were put them on but darn close. I'd say~ 5000 miles give or take.
New Air Suspension and front end components ~ 4 years old and 4000 miles.
