Re: Trans Sport average life
Well, my '93 has 185,000 miles and still runs like a top. The most expensive thing I ever did to it was replace the alternator about 5 years ago. But, as with any vehicle, it depends on how well its maintained as to how long it will last.

Re: Trans Sport average life
My 1993 with a 3.8 has 338,000 KM on it and it runs quite well. Hard Idle but I have found the the series one of the 3800 always had a rough idle. (I owned a 1991 Park Avenue with the series one 3800 and it had a rough idel as well - it went to 340,000 before I sold it (in good shape) for a 1990 Lumina APV) I always change the oil between 5000-7000 KM and never let a strange noise go un-attended.
The 3.1 engines from 1990 to about 1993 or 1994 only went on average 300,000 KM. I had a 1990 Lumina with the 3.1 and at 290,000 it pretty much kicked the bucket. I blame the 3 speed tranny. RPM's too high for a 3.1 engine.

Re: Trans Sport average life
I've seen some in my area that have over 200,000 miles and some close to 300,000 miles on them. They were well built and as member chris_eitniear said in the post above a lot depends on how well taken care of can greatly influence a vehicle' lifespan.

Re: Trans Sport average life
I am on my 3rd Trans Sport.
The first was a '93 -- I traded that in on a different car, and regretted doing so. The second was a '95. It had about 160,000 miles on it when an idiot pulled out in front of me and I T-Boned him at highway speed. Air Bags are a good thing, I walked away without a scratch. I have another '95 now. It currently has 180,000 miles and runs beautifully. It does have a few problems which I am going to post about, but none that I think is major. Seeing these posts about the number of miles people rack up on these loveable tanks makes my heart sing! Cheers, John
