98 zetec with 192,000 miles on it.

I have 90K on mine and I bought it in april 27th of 02 with 31k on it. Heres what I done to it.

Changed the oil every 3k with castrol GTX 5W-30.

New plugs at 47k(still on the original wires)

New pass side tie rod end at around 60-63k(if im not mistaken on the miles)

New air filter at 80k miles and prior to that at 47k miles.(changed twice)

New fuel filter at 88k and yes it was clogged

Tranny flush and new tires and driver side tie rod end at 86k.

That's all I can think of. It has treated me well for 3 yrs as you can see.

Just about to turn 150,000 miles on my '98 SVT. I've had it since June 1999 when it had 33,000+ miles. The only former owner was Ford Motor Company (it was leased for 1 yr to someone in Atlanta, GA).

I've had a few issues: water pump, rack & pinion, belt tensioner. Overall it's been a good car.

By next week, it will turn 174,000 miles. Still running original water pump, ignition cables, rear brake linings. Only items replaced have been the usual fluid/filter changes, wiper blades, one set of front brake pads and rotors at 105,000 miles, first set of crappy Goodyear Eagle tires lasted only 40,000 miles, second set of Michelin tires lasted 65,000 miles, current set of Michelin tires have almost 70,000 miles on them with 7/32nds tread left. Replaced first set of spark plugs at 60,000 miles, second set lasted 75,000 miles.

Just bought a '95 V6 Contour with 260 800km on it,all original one owner car,and my '98 Mystique has 252 000km on the body,but 100k on a new motor and tranny.
