I'm at 137,000 miles with everything original except for the usual wear items - tires, front brake pads, serpentine belt, spark plugs. I'm hoping to get to 200,000 miles with no drama. Most modern cars should be able to reach the 200,000 mark, if maintained carefully and driven conservatively. My last car still was running great at 250,000 and I have several friends who got 250,000 to 300,000 miles on both domestic and foreign cars, with the original engines and transmissions.

Your right Beachboy, our one work van (97' Safari) has 475K on the original trans and motor (but the oil pump was replaced at 100K) I take care of all the preventive maintence and get this, it has run regular motor oil most of its life and until only recently have I switched to synthetic because of his route getting back to the shop to late, so now when I do get it, I've had synthetic put in w/o any problems. I have the oil changed once a month in it, which is 6K. I predict this thing to hit 500K around the end of January or beginning of February, look for the pics when it does

Approx 130,000. Clock turned 80,000 this morning. I don't know the exact number to get a perfect figure. I think the SVT gauges had something like 46,500 on them when installed.
