My 95 is up to 74,000. I've replaced the water pump but that's the biggest repair. My car has been through a lot of hard driving and even a high-speed chase from policemen (previous owner). Some guy "rented" it in Salem, Oregon, but instead took it to Kansas. Police found him and he tried to outrun them, but finally they blew out the tires on my Tour! The guy was arrested and with new tires someone drove it back to Salem, Oregon. I then bought it from the Rental agency when they went out of business for $3500. So as you can see, between police chases and an 18 year old driver behind the wheel, my Duratech has put up with a lot, and is still running strong.
