my car (99 ATX Zetec) lasted reliably until 130K. I did 5K oil changes (sometime 7K), and one transmission service at 60K.

At 130K, i needed a brake job, my air conditioner condensor replaced, and then my timing belt snapped.

Had I performed timing belt maintenance on her, I could have gotten a lot of mileage out of her. But I wanted a new car anyway, so I didn't care much.

Wow imagine if you did care. So what did you buy?

I bought a 2005 Subaru Legacy

WOW

okay I see why you did what you did. But please dont do that to your new car!!!

Talking about miles. My winter ride has 184,128 miles. And it was treated like junk by the previous owner. Ever since I have owned it, I have taken great care of it. I do regular maintenance on time. The one thing I do have to talk it to change the oil pan seal. Its starting to leak.

Oh its a 1990 jeep cherokee inline 6!
