200,000 miles today

I passed 200,000 miles today and she's running great. I've still got the following original equipment:

1) Radiator (90% of coolant hoses replaced though)
2) Alternator/Generator
3) Catalitic converter
4) Engine
5) Transmission
6) A/C system
7) Wheels/Rotors (brake calipers/pads all replaced)
8) Rear-struts (front struts replaced after 2 sets of scalloped tires)
9) Window motors (slow - but fully functional)

What's going to fail next? I plan to go 250,000 miles so I need 3 more years!

It's supposed that your weel bearings must be changed at least twise for that mileage Do you use 15" rims with right offset (+55) and tires? And for proper work of window motors, you just need to clean windows guides and pawls.

Why +55 offset? Our stock wheels are around +42, IIRC.

Congratulations on hitting 200K!

~Cheers~

Congrats on 200K! I'm at 234K...I'm hoping it'll keep going for a while yet. Did you do the 2nd timing belt service yet?

No, I've not done the 2nd time belt service yet. I waited until 141K to do the first timing belt service so that I would only have to do it once. I was going to have the belt replaced at about ~100K when the starter failed, but since that cost $750 I decided to take a chance. Good choice since the timing belt cost me $1200 when I finally had it done.

What have you had to replace on your way to 234K?
