2000 SE V6 with nearly 142K. I bought it brand new in February 2000. It still has the original battery! Only non-maintainance items replaced have been the IAC valve, heater motor resistor, and alternator. The AC condensor has been replaced, thanks to a wayward raccoon.

Current issues:
1) CEL has been on for 42K miles. PO402 code. Still runs fine, I'll get around to fixing it one day.

2) Has the infamous fuel pickup problem at 1/4 tank.
It's been doing that for a long time too. I'll fix it one day.

3) A few squeaks and rattles (easliy masked by turning up the radio).

That's about it. Best damn car I've ever had!
