Transmission went out at 80,000 miles, but that was when the car was about 15 years old, not a big deal.
2 water pumps on it over the years.
Alternator went out at 85,000 miles.
Brakes last about 5 years or so.
(The parts guys cringe when I buy the stuff with the lifetime warranty.)
New carburetor at about 90,000 miles.
I bought the car at auction for $750.
That was 17 years ago and it still gets me back and forth to work daily for pennies. Not the prettiest, or fastest, or best handling. But I'll hang onto it till it squats down and refuses to move for the final time.
I've also replaced the water pump, and alternator in mine so reading this was great.
I bought mine in 1996 and still have it today. Great car.
