107,000 on mine got it at 79 k. Regular oil changes and shes been running good except for this code i got which i think its the o2 sensor. Only thing that went out on me was my battery in the walmart parking lot.
im @ 103000 and im turbo.
Shes still running strong.
havnt really had any problems but im guna do a timing belt soon and i need to get a new turbo cuz im pretty sure i blew the oil seal on mine.

about to hit 111k, everythings running good so far. need a tranny flush soon though, and i have a SEL that comes on and off every so often, its for the warm-up cat in the exhaust manifold, other then that, regularly maintain it and she'll last quite some time..
^^ and if u havent done the timing belt and water pump by now its def wise to get er done. especially if youre close to 100k.

75,000 All I've done is brake pads, brake pads, and brake pads.
Speaking of them becoming worthless, I bought used with 46,000 because they go worthless so fast! High depreciation is always looked at negatively, but use it to your advantage when you are buying used.

90k here, baby
Only issues I've had with my 2003 OZ was the sunroof, catalytic converter (recall issue), and the rear brakes. The sunroof had to be adjusted 3 different times during the first year, it would stick open, it would grind, etc. Just had to put some lockthread on the bolts....but now it sits about 1/4" lower than the roof profile. *shrugs*
The catalytic converter was a recall deal, engine light came on and I brought it in to see what was what...5 hours later, had a new converter...free.
Rear brakes, for some reason they didn't wear more than a fraction of what they should, and I was burning through front pads at a rate of about 20k. I finally replaced the rear drums and put in some ceramics...found that the brakes don't auto-adjust, and that after the first 10k or so weren't gripping at ALL. I still had pristine stock drums and barely any brake wear... Found the wheel cylinders are about to go (just did this yesterday). WORD TO THE WISE: If you can afford it, get a drum to disk conversion kit for the rear brakes, the drum/shoe setup is a !#@# to do, especially without a spring retainer tool....took me all day! Brakes work awesome now, so you might want to check these every 10-15k if you notice your front brakes doing all the work...
Planning on hitting 200k with this puppy
