If taken care of the motor and trans in these things have a very long life and are very robust. Mine has 145 miles on it and still has better leak down numbers than my brand new honda pilot which shocked me.

185k miles. In the last 7k miles, airmatic compressor went out, cracked oil cooler line, idler pulley let go, valve cover gaskets have to be resealed because it’s dripping oil on my exhaust manifold (doing that this weekend), fuel relay burned out causing the car to stall after 10 mins of running; sometimes at a stop and others in motion (that was interesting to say the least), engine mounts were in decent condition when I bought the car and they tore themselves to pieces in 6k miles (the oil cooler line probably cracked because of this), parking brake release pull stopped working, and an as-yet-unsolved grinding noise that sounds like a pulley or bearing, but only occurs when the car is in drive and not reverse, neutral, or park. I still love this thing though.
