Yep, my old '96 GL is about to embark into the 130k marker and she still runs good, though If I had the cash I'd rebuild her.
So, far the only major repair/replacement has been the tranny at 128,000. I'm hoping to either keep her as long as she runs or sell her and get a newer SE.

Yeah, and it's S/C'd I'd gladly trade you my car for yours =). Hell I'd trade my left (censor) just to find a low mileage engine and replace it with some help. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to finish going to school and pay for everything else. Earliest class is 1pm latest runs till 10pm.

WOW!
I hope to see that mileage in another 10yrs at my going rate of 1000 miles per month, daily driver!
61-months old and just rolled 60K miles on my 99SVT. No major repairs.
