113K miles. Bought in 2000 as a former rental with 28K on it. Runs like a top, I chage the oil when the light comes on ~ 5600 miles, and flush the tranny every 30K. At 100K, changed the water pump, thermostat hoses and belts along with the coolant and plugs.

It has always used oil, maybe 1000 miles per quart, but hasn't gotten any worse. Had the leaky valvel cover gasket, a defective AC fan switch, and that's it.

Hope it runs to 200K as it is a great freeway warrior. Other than the oil usage, love the 3500 "shortstar" motor (I see Caddie brought it back as a 3600 now.)
