Re: Miles vs problems?

My '93 SE 2.3L 4 cyl has 215k miles on it. Original engine has never had any maintenance other than spark plugs (original head gasket too). Original transmission, though the TCC solenoid failed around 195k miles.
Other non-trivial problems I've run into are:
Water pump dead at 210k
Heater core leak at 180k
Radiator hoses burst at 150k
4 alternators in the past 4 years
Washer-fluid reservoir has leak
Broken upper engine mount at 175k
Ignition switch shorted and melted at 155k
Belt tensioner spring broke at 160k

Other than that it's been aging quite well.
