My Max has 210,000 miles on it. I usually change my oil every 5-7,000 . Tranny fluid every 30,000 miles. I drive it into the ground everyday. I bought it when it had 23,000 miles on it. So far this is what I've had to fix.

50k - Alternator
65k - Both front Axles

Now (79k) - Rear O2 Sensor needs to be replaced.

THat's it as far as actual factory parts going bad.

All the other things I've replaced have been mods/upgrades

approx. estimates on my bro's car when he had it-

somewhere in the mid-upper 40K - front brake pads replaced
somewhere in the 60K - vent control valve replaced

when I had it last spring-summer -

74K - engine flush by dealer
81K - alternator replaced by recall
82K - rear brake pads replaced

when its mine once again

>100K - 60/90K service, brakes, tires (one step at a time of course)

I would say despite my brother having 2 accidents w/ it in '00 (driver door, front end), his max has stood the test of time
