ok heres the skinny. bought it at 132000km, should hit 632000km by sept. thats 500000km in the 6 years ive owned it. ive spent an sload of money on it. i do NO maintenance. if it breaks i get it fixed. one other thing thats interesting, 80% of that driving has been with a 4x8 box trailer(plus an average 1000lb load) being towed behind me. usually when i get something fixed one mechanic says to the other, "hey joe take a LOOK at this." now that my back-up vehicle is no longer available i plan on starting a regular maintenance program, even though ive only been stranded 6 or 7 times. I HAVE BEATEN THE HELL OUT OF THIS CAR AND IT STILL RUNS BEAUTIFUL.
