Entirely dependent on maintainence, treatment, on a little luck. An N/A car could see 300K.

These cars are built well, once u get to know them, and how they work, they are really good.

nothing! im at 219k right now, I'm more than likely going to get this car off before I ever find out how long it goes, the tranny'* still good for that many miles and the engines good too, I'm really at the point where I just wanna get rid of it just because it'* time to move on to something else,

Note my 93 in my sig. 204k miles and it still runs like its new. All I do to it is regular maintinence and I dont plan on letting her go till she falls apart (probably when the tranny goes, its original).

Dont forget to squirt WD-40 on any and all rust spots that you see, that will go a long way.
