645,000 km and running strong, real strong. ive had a couple of expensive stretches also (i tend to put off repairs then do a bunch at once) but ive then had some great runs after. once went 94000km without spending a dime. im currently on an amazing run, spent 2 grand (canadian too) in the last 112000km. most people doubted that the transmission would last this long because i tow a half ton trailer with me most of the time. two, yes two, tranny fluid changes all this time. i also tell people i wont be buying another one. like you, the new ones dont appeal to me. theyre also cramped on the inside.
