Replaced brakes at 110,000 miles.
Replaced A/C compressor and blower motor at 120,000 miles.

Replaced front axles at 140,000 miles.
Power antenna doesn't go all the way down.
Transmission shifts have gotten stiffer with age.
Driver seat is starting to show age.

General comments?
Original owner.
Has outlasted 2 cars that were supposed to replace it.
Still a beautiful car after 16 years.
Gets 22 to 23 mpg in daily (60 miles) driving.
Dealer service has been excellent, but expensive. Cost is offset by free service loaner cars.
Engine is as strong and smooth as new.
Only complaint is the stiff shifting transmission.
