That is really nice. Just curious, but how often do you have to replace stuff now?

thats great you're @ 200k now. Curious, why are you going to by something else to keep miles off the EVO? Seems like @ 200k racking up the miles would be the last thing you need to worry about. I mean, it not like if/when you go to sell the car a potential buyer is going to care whether it has 200 or 220k...

Truth...



Might as well keep pushing for 300k. I'm sure that would be a dsm/evo record by a decent margin.

Probably the higher the mileage, the more repairs/maintenance it going to need. wheel bearings, CV boots, ball joints, gears, synchros, seals, universals, carrier bearings, struts, bushings, alternator, starter, ac compressor, PS pump, PS rack, window motors, regulators, mounts, brakes, clutch, timing belts, pulleys, tires, fluids, not to mention the small unexpected stuff that breaks from time to time.

I've been considering a second car just to have for when the unexpected occurs.
I enjoy driving the car too much to not have it as a DD.

That's outstanding! Proper maintenance goes a long way. I've only got 15k on mine and it's already seen two drivetrain flushes. Hopefully it can last as long as yours.

I have around 61k and it still feels brand new. Its all about how you maintain the car. But 200k is another story
