Re: 3.4 liter motor

Well right around 120k miles (which was last October), my water pump gasket gave out. If you notice your coolant level getting low, or your car getting higher than 220* frequently, then definitely check out that seal. They're paper thin, even the new one I put on was so ridiculously thin that I refused to put it on without putting a thin layer of silicone gasket maker on both sides of it. Then after that, one or more of my ignition coils went out, so I just replaced all 3 of em with some spares I had. After that my starter went out... Oh, and I've got a minor oil leak, i lose about 1/2 a quart every 3k miles. Haven't had any major issues with the car yet though. Just minor things that are common to go out. Depending on how the previous owner(s) took care of the car, it should be really dependable for ya. Heck I use mine to deliver pizza in and it drives great with 130k on the clock now.
