145545 - and yup. She burns oil, but has that many miles on the original motor. Tranny had to be rebuilt when we got her though. I keep secretly hoping something major tears up so I have an excuse to rebuild it, but pray it holds up at least one summer longer....

I rolled over 150000 miles a few months ago, won't turn any more till spring. THINK SPRING!! haha. It didn't burn any oil up till now, the motor and tranny is still stock, would love to put a new engine and tranny in it, but the money's definitely not there, still in college. I've got a bad vibration in the upper rpms that I need to figure what's wrong once its back on the road, really made me angry havin to shift at 2500 and not any higher.... Other than that, it's been a good car so far.

I got a 1990 with 154,xxx original miles. Runs strong, engine still has the get and go like it had when it was new. Engine runs rough due to oil change but no major problems. Does not burn oil, and no leaks. Everything is still in top shape on this pony.
