I think it's awesome. It gives the rest of us hope! Any major repairs or just scheduled maintenance up till this point?

Edit: Sorry I just realized you responded to someone else's question below. Regardless, CONGRATS! I hope to have mine for at least that much longer.

I use mine for delivery too haha (Jimmy John's) also a 3.0.

136k on the engine and 171k on everything else. I had my TC replaced as well. Lucky for you, mine has had quite a bit more work done to it, it's actually in the shop right now because my caliper was leaking... lol

I'll get her to 200k

One of the previous owners had the timing belt snap and bent all the valves, the guy I got it from put in an engine that had 90k on it.

I'm guessing the belt was never changed and snapped around 135k

Oh, I didn't include brakes, battery, etc. - have replaced all four calipers over the years. And oh forgot a couple of things - HVAC fresh air flap motor (got stuck open in the middle of winter - no heat), RF wheel bearing and heater core cleaning and flush. Been pretty good to me though.
