Wow....that thing isn't even broken in. If you take care of the reg maint items....you've got another 250~300K in that thing....nice find.

Well, those 5th gen's are very well built....so yes, with the maint stuff up to date it will be around for a while, I hope you as well

The only thing you might think about is more of a "time based" schedule than a milage schedule.

I have posted on this thread before and i would like to update that.
I now have 225,000 miles on my engine and since last time I have had my valves adjusted for the first time. I also had to replace my Harmonic Balancer. I put it in reverse one day and the outer part of the balancer just rolled out from under my car. I would recommend replacing this soon if you have never done it. the part is like 80 bucks.

It has been a while since I have been on here so I figured I would post an update about my milage. I now have 336,000 on my car, it turned over to that yesterday. The engine isn't doing very good anymore, I think I have a blown head gasket, I put some Blue Devil in to buy some time because I can't afford to take my only vehicle off the road for the work. Also my car was hit for a 5th time 3 weeks ago, not very bad but still made me angry.
