Had this car since 130k miles, been about 5 or 6 years and its almost at 300k miles. Here's a list of all mojor repairs done. Apart from that, it still runs and drives like a charm. No valve noise, no oil leaks, and drive train in still solid. I think I still have the original front struts. Only thing it really needs is the window rubber seal. Thats worn. The engine is clean as hell, been running syn oil since 180k. You can see no gunk with the oil cap removed, all yellow and silver, no dino gunk.

minor parts replaced:
amm
fpr
pre pump
wiper motor
blower motor
ball joints
header and back exhaust.

Still the same radiator, water pump, fuel pump, ect.

Well, maybe you'll catch up to me soon if you keep driving at that rate.



Now at 426K. Will be at 427K at the end of the week.

Car is starting to so some signs of wear, but it's still solid as ever mechanically. It's the interior that has problems... I'm working on it though.

1980 245DL 426K miles
1977 244DL Probably around 300K miles (not sure)
1976 245DL 289K miles (needs a new engine, will be running soon)
