i have a 2001 v6, stock.
what mileage does it usually start dieing at?
i'm at 129,000 right now, and i got it at 121,000.
the guy said it was all highway miles.

Since a V6 probably wasn't beat to death,it'll probably last another 100,000 miles.

Taxi's (former police cars) run well at 250,000 miles with the 4.6 they just aren't very,,,,nice,anymore.Well worn,in and out.The engines and trannys seem to be OK.

With any high mileage vehicle you must be pro-active with maintenance.Let something go and it'll bite you in the a$$.

There's not really any set mileage that a car will start breaking. it mostly has to do with how well-maintained it was. Take care of a car and it's not uncommon to see 200,000+ miles these days but on the other hand if you neglect even the basic maintenance (such asoil changes) it's not likely a car will even make it to 100,000.

+1 if you take care of your car and do the proper maintenace on it, there is no reason you shouldn't roll right past 200,000.
