for what it's worth, my 1993MY 850GLT (built august 1992) has needed a few AC system repairs/replacements (and a few ECC modules too), only needed a new exhaust system last summer, needs it's original suspension replaced (after many years of new england potholes, it finally needs replacing...), hasn't needed a tow in years! and is on the original automatic transmission, of course there are other minor repairs here and there... but knock on wood it's still working fine! it averaged about 10,000 to 12,000 miles/year for the first 8 1/2 years, and only a few thousand/year since

of course now that it's more than 10 years old, I''m trying to do as many repairs on it myself, not just to save money but to educate myself more about cars (funny, I'm a mechanical engineer..., but seeing cars sometimes make you think marketing had more say in the design or DFA - design for assembly, such as the requirement for hiding as many fasteners as possible behind one-time snap-on panels/covers)
