    My buddy has a 99 GT with 330,000 miles on it and he has only put a intake on it cuz the egr melted it, other then that its never been touched and has never been driven nice either. his car is the reason i gave the grand prix another chance. all i ever had where the 88-96 body style and they where POS now i have two 99GTs one 2000 GT and a 97 GTP and i have never been so happy with a GM car in my life

    that was caused by a bad catalytic converter. too much back pressure. same thing happened to me.

    ive put several thousands of dollars worth of repairs into mine since buying it in november of 08. bought it with 70,000 miles and it now has 100,000

    Mine's got about 144,000 miles on it. All stock.

    I'm hoping to get about another 60,000 miles on it and I'm only putting about 800 miles per month on it, so it should last me

    I bought my 98 GT last summer with 28,000 exactly (it rolled over while I was test driving haha). Now it has 32,500. I'm hoping this car will last me till I die or crash it. Hopefully die not in a car crash. I'm planning on modding it quite a bit in the next few years then turning it into my winter beater when I get a solid job and buy a nice rwd car.
