I thought I share this happy moment with all my acurazine members.
This is really a milestone for my TL.

I purchased it new in 1997 and I have enjoyed every moment on the road driving my baby. The car runs really smooth still and I am hopping to another 30 / 40 k easy out of it.

How I got here, the major repairs:


Radiator replaced ($185.00 + diy)
Exhaust manifold replaced (Used $250.00 + $200.00 labor)
Crank pulley replaced (New $390.00 + $200.00 labor)
PS pump replaced (Forgot how much, done at the dealer)
Brakes
Clock spring replaced ($105.00 + diy)
O2 Sensors replaced few times ( Parts + diy)


And only basic maintenances (mostly diy).

 

no timing belt done??

 

Woah, I can't believe that you're the original owner. It must feel great to have a car run so well for so long. I am properly amazed that your car reached 240k miles and with so few problems.

 

I think he is talking about repairs, not service.

 

Yes, have done two timing belts.

I am talking about repairs. I have done all the regular services, like I mentioned.

 

Nice!

 

Being the Original Owner... congrats!!!
