I'm goin for 200!
200 thousand miles driven, not 200 miles per hour
@ 197k, and still chugging along!
Suspension's a little worn out
Rear main seal leaks pretty good
Transmission jerks when it's cold (replaced the connector already?)
I've replaced quite a few small parts over the years, but no major overhauls. Overall, most reliable car I've owned, with nice power and luxury included.

Congrats!
Ah, like me, someone who doesn't own a museum piece! :> 156K on mine, adding 11k per year.
As you know, these are all typical replacement items: suspension bushings, trans PWM solenoid, trans conductor plate.

I've owned it since 2009, bought it with 46k miles on the clock. I only recently moved to Michigan in late 2016, so for the first 11 years it was a Georgia car. I haven't put it up on a lift yet to see what the winter did to it...

Otherwise, mine's been my most reliable car too. Glad to hear 200k is attainable.

I'm also a whisker away from 200K. She's not as fast as she used to be, but it has been hands down the best car I've ever owned. Only small maintenance repairs. I won't bore with the list but I did all repairs myself, except for a deer strike (parked-stupid deer ran into a parked car. Unreal) to the door which needs a touch up as the paint isn't fadeing evenly.l
I did post a thread here early on, called C55 as a daily year round driver here in NY. Mine is still going strong!
