I bought a 1995 Mystique YA in Jan 2001. It had 50K miles.
It now has 211K miles and still runs great. I'm on my 3rd water pump, but other than that I've only had to put routine maintenance into it, same as any other car (tires, shocks/struts, etc). I plan to drive it 4-5 more years before I finally part ways with it.
