grandprix104 Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 ive never bought a car below 50k You dont have to even worry about things breaking until 100k+ 100k is over the hill 50k means its just come of age Quote
grandprix104 Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 i wouldnt mind takin it off your hands for the price of parts though. Quote

Whada ya think. i think you'll make it to at least 200,000 miles if not many more if you take good care of it. joshua Quote
91GranSport Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 No shit, eh? I bought my car with 145,000km and now it's at 185,000km and it's still running strong. Everything works and works well, with the exception of some minor electrical glitches. It works very good considering it's a 12 year old car, far better than some of vehicles that are much newer. you have got to be shitin me. 50k and your thinking of parting it out. your car isnt even brokin in yet ive got 122 on my car and it runs like a champ Quote
DEMonte1997 Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 don't part it out.. sell it, as is, to me Quote
no1kicker Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 50k? This better be a joke. really. No really, it better be a joke. Quote
kyledykstra Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 lol no shit. My 1990 just cranked 216K. Last night I smoked a LeSabre with it. My Talon has 164K on it,and it's still runs 13's. 50k?!?! lol start leasing Quote
mdelorie Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 Me first! Sell it to me first!!! Quote
dkorinko Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 Seriously man, There is not a car in our driveway that has less then 100 k on it. We even have a 2000 Nissan Atlima and it has 103k on it. You would be crazy if you thought of getting rid of a car at 50k. I am sure you could ask anyone on here and 95% of us have twice as many miles as you do and we are still running great! Quote
PJB Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 Hell I bought my truck with 146k on it. My car only has 56k though. Quote
Aaron Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Hell I bought my truck with 146k on it.My car only has 56k though. HAHAHA our 1988 S10 has 190k! we win! nothing is wrong, except at 175k in needed ew valve seals and the tranny was slipping a bit, so we put a new motor and tranny in it. 4.3 auto, and god thats the only thing to ever go wrong with it. bullet proof.

Guest TurboSedan Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 my '91 VIN 'T' n/a 3.1 MPFI has 213,000 miles and is still running Very Very Strong. it's never had a valve job, no new head gaskets, not rebuilt at all, no cam or new timing chain, etc. i've replace some gaskets and that's it. the 3.1 in general is a very very reliable engine IMO.....right up there with the Buick 3800 V6. i think the 50,000 mile 'mint' '90 TGP and parting it out was a joke.....that car has sooooo much life left. joshua Quote
topless94style Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 I bet he just wants to hear all the complements from us. Quote
Mike J. Posted September 9, 2003 Author Report Posted September 9, 2003 Thanks for the replies. Because of all your encouragement, I have decided to keep it. I hope I haven't made the wrong decision. Quote
