It would be great if there was a list generalizing mileage ranges that items need replacement, or typically start causing issues.

So who are the high mileage owners we have here? It would be nice to get an idea of the longevity that our cars are capable of and what kind of repairs were necessary throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.

So basically:

  1. Mileage
  2. "Major" repairs needed (outside of wear items)
  3. Original engine/transmission?
  4. Any other relevant information

I've seen a couple of cars around here near 200k but has anyone actually eclipsed that number yet?ride

If you voted previously but moved into a higher mileage bracket, you may cancel your vote and resubmit.

Hmmm

bout 135K

Rebuilt tranny
New BCM, MAF, A/C compressor, and a lot more I don't remember
Paint looks bad

My family gave me this car in the hopes I will take care of it and NOT sell it. The day I picked it up it was at the dealer getting fixed. The repair bill... over $5000. Includes tranny rebuild, a/c compressor and a lot of other stuff, tires, brakes, lots of stuff. I have probably put in the range of 1K-2K into her too. But I love every minute of it. I joke and say someday I will replace every part of the car and it will be like brand new again. In a way thats right. Just needs a new paint job badly,

1. 126k on my '98 ~70+k by me
2. Lost SC Idler pulley, more of a PITA then cost
3. Unsure of the engine/trans history
4. This car was a little 'rough' when I bought it and has gotten 'rougher' due to heavy NYC use. I may keep it for another year and put it out to pasture. The body is nearly perfect, would make a good candidate for an overhaul, but I am concentrating on my diamond white '97.

1. 70k on my '97 ~20k by me
2. Lost the motor, 2k after extreme cam/heads install. Replacing with a l32 crate engine, with medium cam and mild headwork.
3. Trans was replaced/rebuild by previous owner/dealer
4. This was the first car I ever purchased and I will be keeping for a long time. Assuming the engine install goes well...I may have the whole thing painted or atleast touched up.


I could see replacing the rough '98 with a stock Silver Arrow. Gotta have one for show and one for go. pimp It all depends on if we ever get the country house with a barn for a garage. Luckily the wife seems to like cruising in the riv, although I know she will argue that you cant drive both at once. scratch

132k miles, purchased at 24.5k. Have replaced lots of things, but here's the stuff I consider repair:

-original trans, engine
-alternator went out at 35k, replaced under warranty
-SC/acces belts 45k
-HVAC blower module approx 85k
-idler/tensioner pulleys at 85k
-cat converter died at 95k
-head unit at 100k
-driver side hub/bearing at 105k
-struts at 110k
-ignition wires at 120k miles

That's about it. I beat on this car daily and she just keeps taking it.

1. 37500 mi, bought it at 30k in april 2005
2. Major repairs: I broke the F-ing hexhead screw in the supercharger snout when changing my sc pulley. Now if I want to change to a smaller pulley, I have to yank the whole snout and use a hydraulic press.

3. original trans/engine
4. Swapped in a VS camshaft about 1000 miles ago. Not a repair per se, but it was definitely major. But I did do all the pulleys and straps while I had everything apart.

My car is at about 191,700 miles right now. If I keep driving as much as I have been, I'll hit 200k in August or September. I bought it with 133k in 2004, so I don't know the entire history. However, it was well taken care of, and I suspect the engine and tranny are original.

I've had some problems with the car, but overall it's been reliable. I have replaced the water pump, intake manifold gaskets, PCM, coils, and a front wheel bearing. Oh, and I had to replace a side tank in the radiator. Also, while I had the intake manifold/supercharger assembly off, I replaced the coupler (not sure if you'd call that a "wear" item). I had several issues with the car for some time, but replacing the PCM fixed all of those (and at $50 for a used PCM, it was a great deal!). With the new PCM and coils, I'd say the car runs better now than it did when I got it. At least in terms of comfort - one problem with the old PCM was that the torque converter clutch engaged very harshly, and now it's smooth as butter. happy

The main thing I like about the car is that it has never left me stranded somewhere. That's the true test, IMO.

WP,PS pump,belts x3,all pullies,CKP(maybe not normal but it was only $15),radiator,hoses,s/c coupler,battery,all rotors and pads,struts, tires x4,radio,MAF,driver window motor.

3. still original trans and engine both with original internals

4.knock on wood nothing major happens but i have a feeling my tranny will be the first major thing to go. if i chip a piston or somthing like that i'm swaping a moddified L32 or rebuilding mine with HD parts.
my paint is maybe 75% health. i wouldn't mind repainting the front bumper and side panel things to take care of a few scratches and touch up spots.
interior is in 85% health, everything works perfect.my driver seat is worn a little(no cracks, just wrinkled), and the sun roof slide felt is saging a little.
