Filled up with gas yesterday, looked down and saw this. Perfect photo op! Figures she's good for at least another 150.

Less than 100,000 miles, should be good for another 300k km!

I just rolled over 432k kms and unless rust is an issue for you, should be easy to go 500k km.

Yeah I think she's got a lot of life left. No rust. Originally a Texas car and I've had it rustproofed a couple times.

Quite possibly I am running original transmission fluid. I guess it's about time to get that changed?

I just turned 126k miles Still runs like new, shifts beautifully, and handles a lot better than it should. I love the drivetrain in these cars. Might not be the most powerful thing ever, but they are hard to kill.

All the ones (2005-2007, Chicago or NYC, ex-livery, under $3K) I'm looking at are over 300K miles. I figure if it made it that far, it's solid enough for another 300K miles. Miles, not kilometers.
