Default Who has over 120k miles on their m/c

I have an '03 that was built in August '02. It has 124,400 miles. The only thing that has gone wrong under my ownership is warped rotors and the a/c compressor went out once. Oil change and transmission flush. I'm thinking about repainting this summer.... the NC summer sun has been hard on it over the years...

I have a 2000 that has 181,700 miles. (And I'm finally not Dailying it anymore!!!)

My biggest problem was the transmission at about 150,000. I swapped in a used one for $800. This summer my AC wasn't working because of a cracked condenser. That wasn't so cheap. The car has been really solid for me though.

158K on our '02. Transmission rebuild at just under 100K. Replaced radiator; upper & lower intake manifold gaskets and coolant 'elbows'; brake pads / rotors; plugs / wires. That's about it. Still a solid car.

160,000 (as of yesterday) on my 2006 3.5L.

All problems to date: Power Steering pump, water pump, (both around 65K under warranty). ISS (replaced under warranty at 96K)...then recently at 154K Camsharft actuator solenoid replaced, and front crank seal was weeping oil, so I had that replaced too. For 160K, I think thats a small list. Especially considering that only $585 came out of my pocket to fix these things (the Camshaft actuator solenoid and crank seal was $585 combined).

just about 142k on my 97. When i bought the car it had 134,300 miles on it. To my knowledge i dont think any major parts were replaced but who knows. The car has a couple small issues, like a power window problem other wise i've had no issues. Only think was the a/c compressor was removed when i got the car so i had to have that put back in.

147K on my 01 ss. Had to fix the starter, MAF, radiator fans, tie rod end, ball joint, thermostat, coolant temp. sensor, new brakes and rotors (Typical for any car though) and my remote start and alram was backfeeding on my BCM so I had to have all that taken out and a new BCM put in. Tranny is acting weird lately, but hopefully no big deal. I feel now that I have written this list it's a lot, but a most of these things are pretty normal for any 10 year old car.

I also have paint chips on my front fenders on the bottom and a lady rear ended me and I need a new bumper, but only one teeny rust spot on the back corner panel, but luckily my boyfriend works at a body shop and my baby will be fixed by spring, kinda don't want to get everything fixed before winter, I would rather wait it out.

I have exactly 241,396 on my 01 SS, the body and paint of the car is in excellent shape considering the mileage. Only issues Ive had since owning is the intake manifold gasket needed to be replace and some tranny issues. Besides that everything else works just fine, Ac, power seats and windows, sun roof opens, seats still heat up and etc etc.. The car has been very reliable for me and I take very good care of her! Check out my pics to see her for yourself. I get plenty of compliments everywhere I go and people are shocked to hear the age and mileage of the car. Makes me smile everytime
