Does anybody have more than 403k on a 02 tl-s ?
i have a 02 tl type s navi with 402,500 miles on it . it has been such a great trouble free car i just bought a 07 tl-s to replace it and gave the 02 to my 17yr old. i owned it from 50k and have only put in one trans(under warranty) and two sets of axle shafts and wheel bearings . the cd and tape is inop and the heated seat inop and the steering rack leaks alittle but otherwise every thing still works great and car still gets 26/28mpg. i did all my own maintance
and changed the oil every 6500 to 8000 miles and just kept up with the cars basic needs .
(my 93 legend coupe went 410k before the headgasket went) . but here is the kicker i have NEVER put a timing belt in my car .yes i know thats risky but after 250k i figured i just put in a new motor if it went. So far i love my new 07 tl-s and look forward to 400k more miles on it .

Post PICS!!! I gotta see in what shape a 400k+ TL is in!!. That's really crazy though, I hope my car makes it that long. Is it in the original motor? How does it run and do you use premium or regular fuel?
