I'm almost at 130,000 miles on the original water pump. My car has the newer style of plastic impeller. I asked two different mechanics about replacing it, but they discouraged me, saying they hadn't seen many problems with them around here.

-Mark- '99 Mystique LS, totally original (including the original water pump and the premium stereo)! Bought new in December 1998 for $21,000. 208,000 miles
