Transmission rebuilt at 190,000. The drivers side Front seat back braces fractured so I removed them and had them welted. $5.00. Air conditioner has trouble remembering what to do, but I was shown how to reset it from the controls.
Overall, I really like this car and nothing happened that surprised me due to the unbeleivable mileage. The engine still runs like new and get 27 mpg on the highway. The body is still beautiful with probably the most comfortable seats I ever owned. I have three other cars and just keep this one for around town in the evening. Still has class.
You're comparing your car with your mother???
So did Jerry Van Dyke!
Since you are comparing an old car with high miles to your mother.
I can only hope that the car doesn't smoke too much, and that it's rear end doesn't sag!
