I hit 130k on the Buick the other day coming back from the wedding in Miami. It's still purring just like new, minus the horrible suspension haha. Glad to see your's is still kicking after all those miles.

Mine's sitting pretty good ATM, it will need brake pads soon, but other than that nothing too much is wrong with it. *knock on wood*

*dang*, and here I was getting all worked up about turning 90k lol! Those miles sure do rack up fast though don't they. Still looks great as far as I can see, keep taking care of her and she should live to see another 100k pretty easily.

Congrats on this milestone! Only issue I see is the boost gage should be elevated for this accomplishment! :-)

Congrats on the milestone, Ed!

I only hope mine is still running that well when it hits 200K. If it wasn't for the rotted fuel and brake lines, my LeSabre would probably be reaching about 360K right now.

That's a great question Rachel, one I don't even know the answer to. I'll definitely have it for the short term, but I'll probably get a different DD by the time I graduate next spring. Only time will tell, I guess.

Got mine ALMOST 2 years back with 142K on it & just turned 186K last week. My last payment is in Aug & I'm already planning to get another car as a DD so i'm not racking up the miles on the Bonneville. Good luck on another 100K!

My Series 2 had 340k on it when I rebuilt it, and the series 1 in the SE is also at ~330k (solid oil pressure, don't know if it's already been rebuilt). You've probably got another 100k left in the engine at least.

Great accomplishment, I don't drive my '97 enough to ever be able to reach that milestone. I'll be happy to reach 130k

140k abouts on min, but everything is new except the block, and that look factory fresh when the heads were off. ZZP heads, sc, all of the exhaust, gaskets, ARP headstuds... these motors will last forever if you build em right. At the moment I need to do the right half shaft which I think I broke at the track and also maybe a minor thing or two. Oh... also need to find a new HPTuner in the Minneapolis area.

There was a time when the 200k mark meant you're on borrowed time and a catastrophic failure is imminent. Thankfully those times are gone. 200K ain't nothing for these cars:
