Welcome to the mile high club, for peepz over 100k+
140k+ miles and running, engine in prrrrrrrrfect condition, and still happy with my Max. Prolly will be able to driver her til 250k+ or more then get a new car.
Annoying "ABS" light still on, nothing wrong with breaking system, need to get that checked and see what is up with that.
How about you?

Almost there
i got 95,000+ on my car and my ABS light has been on and off for about 15k miles, one of the sensors is broken, nothing wrong with my braking system so i am not into spending $400 to fix it.
Run an ABS diagonstic and see what code gets spit out. Start car, drive over 30mph for over 10 secs or so. ie.. just drive around the block. Open trunk and peer right near the pass side Bose speaker. There should be an ABS ecu w/ a red led blinking. Read the # of short/long blinks.
It's probably a bad abs sensor somewhere. They are pretty easy to replace. I got mine from a boneyard. New = $265 Used = $10. It made sense just to take a chance w/ the used one for only $10.

I might cheese out and give my car to a relative when it turns 4 to 4 1/2, just itching to get something German. At least the relative will take it to 150K and beyond. Or who knows, maybe I'll smarten up like you and take her to 250k myself!

Also, How many miles do you guys think is too many miles to go F/I?

My '91 SE has 188k+. Some minor electrical problems--front left Bose speaker cuts out sometimetimes (but can be brought back by a quick volume boost), antenna motor makes noise when turning radio on or off but antenna doesn't move (at least it's stuck in the raised position!). One major electrical problem--when weather is wet a short develops in front right Bose speaker which delivers a PAINFULLY LOUD HUM! So no tunes or radio news until the thing dries out, which takes a day or two after any precip. As some of you may know, the dealer price on replacing one of these things runs around $600! Driver's side leather is a bit worn, and the temperature control for heat-a/c only goes from cold to half-hot (dealer wants $400 to fix). Otherwise, the car is fine, fast and dependable! I plan to sell it (cheaply!) to a teenage friend of my daughter's as soon as I get a 5-sp 2002 SE.
96 SE here......
Still going strong with 104,000 on the odometer. Man this thing still goes like crazy. Rebuilt manual tranny at 100,000 (somewhere around there) and recently added cat-back, intake, and koni and H&R's. Still looking to mod some more. I'm thinking of keeping this car forever. And when it finally quits I'm gonna find one of those Vortech Superchargers and really build a monster. Anyone know how much I could get a good VQ for? I'd be willing to drive my current engine into the ground while I build a super one to replace it. Email me with suggestions!

160,000 miles a still purrs like a kitten! egine is great, save the stupid exhaust studs that need to be fixed so it wont tick all the time. How bad is it to red line it with it having that many miles?...not that i like to drive fast.
