Year: 2001
Miles: 162000 When traded
OG owner: 2nd owner
Oil used : Varried- never used synthetic
Tranny #: 2
The tranny was the only issue with the car besides basic maintenance items! I did replace both axles, but I think that was because the car was slammed with heavier wheels and I drove the piss out of it.
Pic taken right before trade:

The car is still very clean... Absolutely no rim rash on the wheels... I have the OEM kit on it with 20R/35F window tinting, and it's dropped on HR Sport springs... I also put longer exhaust tips on it to better match the OEM kit dimensions (I did this after this photo was taken)... Love it!
I have to admit that I had a similar timing regret (but not so much any more)... The new 3G TLs were introduced just a few months after I bought my car! I was a little disappointed at first, but in the end, I really prefer the long sleek lines of the 2G...
