How many miles on your max?

Got an easy question, I own a 96gle with 141,000. How many miles do you have and what problems have you had so far with your max?

206k+ as of now.
Ive had to replace Alt.,starter and ac compressor after the clutch locked up.
The car runs good considering the mileage. I dynoed last weekend and put down 177 at the FW. I wanted to see just what my tired motor would put down before my swap.
I recently purchased a motor with 35k which will be going in this weekend, after the new motor goes in I will be dynoing it again to see what kind of gains I get.

56k miles, I just bought it. So far the car looks and drives great and the engine bay looks so mint, the hoses and bolts look like they have barely been touched, everything is in immaculate condition. I just hope our salty minnesota winters doesnt make this texas car rust.

~142k We bought the car on christmas eve this year, and is in storage until about a week from now. (im only 15, so we gotta wait for b-day) My uncle is a mechanic, checked it out, and seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Maybe after ive been driving it for a while something will pop up, but no problems right now, but i bet some things were replaced by past owners (im the 3rd owner)

Ahhh, so many of you guys with insanely high miles. Mines approaching the evil 100K mile number. Last i checked im at 99,4xx. Should hit 100K next week.

So far only some tranny problems (1st and 2nd gear). Im just gonna buy a spare tranny/motor so when my tranny completely takes a **** i have a backup. Ditto with the motor.

I have 89k and some change on my baby. I have done nothing to it besides routine maintenance. (that adds up quick though. I don't mind, because it keeps it running good..............new rotors/pads on front, oil, tire rotation, y-pipe, custom exhaust, etc.)

176k replaced shocks, batteries, rotors/pads, alternator, ks, plugs, coils, hood struts, cv axle, low mi tranny. needs new starter, tires.
so far engine runs/idles smoothly, but hestitation upon hard accerleration
and car won't pass 3500rpm, no power goin uphill, so probably parting with it soon unless i can fix those problems.

Approx. 170k replaced struts, strut bearings, starter, AC compressor, battery, brakes, 2 alternators, ks, hood struts, both cv axles, spark plug tube seal, tps, and water pump. Runs great, but need to replace temperature sensor (ecu code). Front end is feeling a little loose but not too bad. I've done all of the work myself except the waterpump and the tps.

Edited: I forgot to metion why I said approx. My odometer finally quit a few years ago at 124k and I haven't found the need to spend money to fix it.

I currently have 220,000 miles on my 97. I put over 3,000 miles a month on mine and get the oil changed once a month. The only problems I have had were replacement of the radiator and the alternator.

~130k so far

Problems:

~90k - Clutch slipping; tear in the stock Y flex section...poor me, I had to replace them with a Stillen Y and ACT

~115k - Tranny failure...all bearings. Had a shop replace bearings, tranny sprung a leak and melted itself. Used tranny w/108k just put in...we'll see how that holds up.

Various bulb changes (headlights/fogs), my gas filler door hinges rusted to hell...had to replace it (paint still doesn't match )

Got into an accident that sweeped up the whole passenger's side...got rear quarter, both doors, and fender. Got it fixed up nice, tho.

Nothing else has gone wrong (yet).

[edit]Oh yeah...forgot to mention: my license plate fasteners were rusted, and I ended up twisting the plastic off on the bumpers. [/edit]
