It suffered a major front differential fluid leak on a long trip, resulting in mashed gears. Luckily I was at a rest stop when they completely failed. Undriveable and facing a $1,000 used tranny&labor bill, I decided to scrap it. It has served me well and only let me down one other time(fuel pump).

 

Original engine, original automatic transmission. No major work done.

Bulletproof and self healing at times. I just wish I made to the 500K mark.

 

So now the search begins for the next one.

Same year, same engine, same body....

Impressive! Id also compliment you on keeping it going too. I find the high mileage cars at the dealer I work at are half good maintenance but half just not pounding on it and remembering to take it in and keep things topped off is more the owner than the car sometimes.
