210K miles and counting on my car (see sig). It still takes my occasional lead foot in stride. Other than maintenance and wear parts, no major repairs other than the radiator & water pump. I need to install the revised intake manifold gasket because its leaking, but it's been that way since I bought, just haven't fixed it yet but plan to after it warms up this spring. I bought it in late summer of 2006 with 160K miles.
The tranny went bad because of the previous owner's ignorance and stupidity. Suddenly, one day it just wouldn't shift into 5th gear but drove fine otherwise. After having the shop look at it, I/they discovered the previous owner apparently had a diff pin failure and - I kid you not - JB welded the tranny back together which misaligned some internal parts and eventually caused it to suddenly not shift into 5th gear.
I had the shop install a used transmisson at ~185K miles (it came from a '98 SC2 w/ 108K miles on it).
I still have the old tranny sitting in an old barn at my parents' place because all the internal replaceable wear parts are new b/c the shop tried to repair/ovarhaul the JB welded tranny first and ate the bill when it wasn't fixed :) .
