93,2xx miles.
Problems: All three cats replaced (early 50's), right wheel bearing (91,xxx), tore parking brake boot (my fault, 27,xxx), rear seatbelt retractor jammed (previous owner's fault, less than 2100 mi), vacuumm hose came loose (about 10,000 mi).
That's it, except for maintenance like tires, brake pads, serpentine belt, filters and the like.
You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.

15k miles... Been to the dealer for the sunroof over a half dozen times.
Fixed it myself in one try (KNOCK ON WOOD) with some good advice from this site last summer.
It's still prone to melting/stripping the plastic gear though. No fix for that yet (Hightower???)
The paint (clear coat actually) on the front bumper is peeling. I got it repainted once (free at the dealer) and it didn't help...
Otherwise it's treated me very well...
