original owner about to reach 200k

I'm probably way behind for a '98 as I got a 335i coupe back in late '06, but I still drive my car almost daily...call me weird but I just switched to synth oil two oil changes ago (hope that leak thing is a myth). In anticipation of crossing the 200 mark she got changed with Mobil 1 this am. Noticed I have a nasty PS leak while I was under there!

Congrats! Not many original owners make it to 100k miles, let alone double that!

I had 5,405 miles to go to hit 200k miles (second owner) until this guy decided to get behind with wheel of his F250 with a BAC of .216...

$18k in damages.

Ended up stumbling into a 2002 SE 6 speed Maxima. Less miles, good struts, no valve cover leaks, leather, Bose, climate control and a 6 speed-for less than insurance paid me off.

Currently with a 2nd owner of a 4th gen maxima (girlfriend's dad was original owner). Its about to hit 250,000 miles, still going strong =].

My whole family has a great record with 80-90's Nissans. Japan cranked out some quality stuff.

Oftened wondered

1981 wagon with only 144,231. The problem is that the speedometer/odometer quit working in 1991.
