hit 200k miles on Friday. Have a 97 3.3 and engine still runs good. Car rides kinda rough rattles and noises but cant complain. Hopefully Ill get another 3-4 years out of it.
mostly normal maintenance tires, oil, tune up. Never broken down and never had to touch anything internal. I enjoy working on my cars and usually replace parts before they break. I have down alot of front end and suspension work. Also cooling system and brakes. Still cheaper than a car payment. Oh and Im not the original owner I bought it with 129k.
I have a pic of the odometer but I dont think I can post pics can I?

Have you ever had to replace your timing chain?????? I'm at 181,000 miles and still running great. My T-chain is original. Just curious about how long these chains last. I used to own a 318 cid Plymouth Duster. Only had 110,000 miles when T- chain jumped (not broke). Maybe the roller valve lifters help our 3.3 chains keep going and going and going.

never touched it, like I mentioned I havent torn the engine down any lower than the upper intake to replace the inner bushings several times, and valve cover gaskets. I would like to do the oil pan gasket but it doesnt leak enough to worry.
I believe the most important thing is oil, tranny fluid and coolant changes.
I'm currently at ~230,000kms / 144,000miles in my '02.
It's only seen 46 months of service... that's right 5,000kms / month.
Oil change every month like clockwork.
She still pulls real hard and snaps the shifts like a champ.
Wow. I have a 93 Concorde 3.5L 137K miles. I want to break the 200 like you.
Very impressive! Someone on this board (forgot his/her name - CHIME IN!) Has over 400K !
Damn right it's cheaper than a car payment!
That's why I'm keeping it.

Congrats. Used to be that DC would give you a special license plate bracket for 100K, 200K and 300K. When I hit 300K I went to their headquarters in Michigan. They said that they cost too much to make, so they aren't having any more made. What a *****. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but right now I'm at 520,000km which equals 323,113 miles.
Last time I talked to "Dianes95" the trep was broken down, so I might catch her.lol
I hear ya mass, lol. My 93 is ALWAYS in the shop for front end squeeling, clunking, clicking, grinding, rubbing, pinging, clinking, etc.
(Knowck on wood - ) Never for any "major" engine or trans. work.
