My car has 94,500 miles on it. When I bought the car from the previous owner it had 93,500 miles and he kept all of his old service receipts. Aside from routing maintenance, the repairs done to the car included a new waterpump, a new catalytic converter, and an intake manifold oil leak repair. Since I took ownership of it, the only parts I had to replace were the power window motors and a battery.

~97,200, I really started racking up the miles after I moved here to texas. before I'd barely put 2k/year. I dont mind the miles though, I really dont plan to sell it. so as long as it holds together, Im gunna drive it.

My '96 had about 97,000 miles on it when I sold it. It was leaking pretty good at the rear main seal. Ran well, though.

94 w/ 147k on the clock and still running strong.
only have had to do basic maitenance, tranny got rebuilt at 123k because it over-heated.
only major problem ive had, is a rear-end pinion seal leak, and a sticky lifter that fixed itself after an oil change.

122k. The only thing that I have personally replaced is the water pump and plugs/wires. I did that shortly after buying the car at 108k miles.

17,655mi on the clock. I had both door windows replaced under TSB back in '97, my window motors are dying a slow death and have the infamous intake manifold oil leak (but I drive it so little, that I am not too concerned).

Bought used with ~52,000m on it, now ~79,000m. I have repared or replaced: Shift Boot Assembly, Rear Window/Panel(convertible), both Visors, Fan Belt, Small Radio *****, Oxygen Sensors, Water Pump, Divers Window Motor, Adjusted Drivers Side Window, the Right Rear Turn Signal Light Socket(corrosion). Because it's a convertible and has leaked I will be replacing the driver side seat cushion and all seat covers. Will need a new top soon?

However the previous owner had these problems:
Plate, instrument panel trim-center. Replaced. 13m
Glass, windshield. Resealed. 4378m
Window, defog wiring. Replaced. 4378m
Front seat belt retractor. Replaced. 4378m
Manifold and/or gasket, intake. Replaced. 5468m
Glass, front door-right. Alignment. 13515m
Actuator assem., rear compart. lid. Replaced. 13515m
CD player, 12 disc rear. Replaced. 13515m
Bow assem., no. 1. Replaced. 13515m
Hub, crankshaft. Replaced. 29603m
Sensor, mass air flow. Replaced. 30158m
Pump, and/or gasket, coolent. Replaced. 30158m
Cover and/or gasket, timing. Replaced. 30158m
Crankshaft. Replaced. 31748m
Sensor, oxygen. Replaced. 31892m
Air pump kit. Install. 35586m
Gasket, cylinder head-right. Replaced. 35586m
Engine, universal. Replaced. 37670m

Finally had enough and traded it for a Mustang.

So the car has ~79,000m but the engine only has ~14,600.

150K on the odometer...

2 starters
AC compressor and associated parts
2 water pumps
1 radiator

I replaced the opti, plugs and wires at around 115k just because I was replacing the water pump and was basically there...
