    Mine has 218k miles and is plummeting.

    Then again.... I replaced the original water pump at 214k, so I can't imagine the previous owner took great care of it...

    Mine is only at 231,XXX miles. It feels young and spry.

    Kolton, you think they should have changed a perfectly good working water pump? My air filter when I bought the car with 160K on it had writing on it. "Geno 4/2/2004 64,194". Previous owner told me he bought the car with 65K on it. That's lack of maintenance.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Well it was making noise when I bought it and the cooling system was all gunked up. So i count that as not doing regular maintenance
