Most of the snow around me comes from the U.S. There are 27 whole or parts of States north of where I live. This includes a little piece of Nevada.

Your living in the wrong city. Try Portland, OR which has to have the highest percentage per capita of Swedish cars anywhere outside of Sweden. Specialist shops working on them are never more than 10 mins from your home or work! I've always thought of Swedish cars as the cars for people who hate cars. Back to the thread and the OP's questions. 2 1/2 years old 21K miles, 15+ track days. Only issue has been fuel pump chirp which has been intermittent. We don't have much snow but we don't use salt on our roads, gravel instead. Put a clear bra on the car when I bought it, no chips to date. My car is garaged. |

Back on topic, I just got my 45K mile oil analysis back from Blackstone. Here's the narrative that came with it: Quote:
I don't know what that means for 100K miles or 200K miles, but it seems to be doing all right so far. |

If this engine goes 200k, I would be a happy camper.

Hopefully moving back to NC, which is why I'm looking to get a RWD car. Again, my Saab will be the 2nd car for the wife and long road trips. The FRS would be my daily to work and play.

The 2.0T in my car is very reliable. Despite Saab's spotty reputation they are actually reliable cars. Their bad rep comes from people who don't care for them properly. I worked for a Saab dealer and you would not believe the condition people brought their cars in. Again, the reasons for me selling my FRS were my own and I don't feel I should have to go into them. Not being rude. They're just irrelevant to the topic at hand. I thank those who took the time to answer my question and not read too much into it. I'm not a forum jockey who just asks without research. The problem with them world wide internetz is you get A LOT of misinformation. Also, as a side note, did Perrin increase the price on all their items? My FRS had a full Perrin exhaust and I got it for $1200 total. Looks to me like the system is close to $1500 now. |

2013 with 94,000 miles. Battery, tires, valve cover leak, windshields and oil changes is all I've done maintenance wise. I get a coil code every now and then lately. I got wheels, lowering springs and a uel header with tune as well.

At my current driving rate, that would be around 15 years.
Jeez. For reference, my brother's 4Runner is at 165K and it was made in 1996. No major engine work done. |
