Who is over 100,000 miles?

It's all relative to have much coin $$ you're spending ( but buying used...5k...25k...50k miles, the buyer just doesn't know how hard the car was driven, and if it's a manual where RPM can be tacked up 6-8k....without any limiter....then do the math). Only the seller/ owner knows how hard the vehical was run...and even then, are they going to communicate that real info to a prospective buyer?!?....usually not). Nothing material lasts forever.

It's like would you rather have a cigarette that's new for $3, or a used cig with 5 drags out of it for $2.50, or a cig with 12 drags out it for $1.25 ( knowing that a cig is typically dead at 18 drags). Do the math.

PS: don't smoke drugs.....just smoke the competition!

Well, Adam_L , you started off good and ended good ........ but, I don't know about all that stuff in between .........

Even the small drop makes it look longer and sleeker which really shows up when it is parked beside one at stock height. Of course the trade off is that I have to be very careful on some slopes, going over speed bumps or railway tracks, badly rutted roads, etc but I think it is worth it.

Needed to change my coolant according to the maintenance schedule (137.5k). Came out slightly darker then fresh but still clear while running down into the bucket. Seemed due for a change but will be interested what the stuff looks like with the 60k intervals now.


With that and spark plugs 60k maintenance just got more expensive ($80-100 for plugs and $80 for the coolant). Wish I had done my plugs at 120k when I was supposed to lol

I still haven't done coolant or plugs. In hindsight I probably should have had them do the plugs when everything was unhooked for the clutch repair.

Same here. If this was on old metal fuel tank in an area with know bad gas I may think about changing it but as it stands it can stay.

I figure Costco has so much traffic at their gas stations their tanks get replenished often enough (along with my own tank) that it won't be a problem.

That's just barely over half of what the thread title was asking.
