Sounds like it's been a great car for your wife! These are timeless cars for sure. Reminds me to give a little update.

Mine is up to 234k, I was replacing motor mounts and noticed a leak at the front of the engine about 2 weeks ago. I traced it to the high pressure fuel pump, which I had resealed about 20,000 mi ago. I had bought the seal kit off of eBay to reseal the low pressure to high pressure side. I couldn't quite tell where it was leaking from this time, so took it to the local Bosch injection shop. They said it was not repairable as it was leaking from the housing. I bought a remanufactured one from FCP (lifetime warranty) for.... A lot of money.

Lots of threads out there about pump leaks and rebuilds, but something to be aware of as these cars age. Injection shop said they see this all the time on cp3 pumps around 250k.
