I think the engine can last a while Currently at 124,000 miles on mine. My parents had a 95 at 160,000 before my brother totaled it (the engine still ran but the rest of the car did not run so well after that)

I had to get my alternator replaced last fall. I hope my car can last me another 3 years also (at my current mileage rates that would put me somewhere a little over 200,000 miles total)
