we turned 143k in ours this weekend...

plan on keeping it forever...

i need to do the valve stem seals and i am pretty much good to go..

although i have a garage full of goodies that includes motor mounts, front rotors, rotor, rear shocks, fan bearing bracket, and a few other things...

i just sort of buy parts here and there and put them on when i get some time in between real projects.

i just put on some s class 16 wheels and got some michelin harmony's this week.

i try to keep my budget at about 100 dollars a month for repairs and maintenance.. when i am under budget or anticipate being under budget...i buy the extra parts. the tires and alignment set me back 570 dollars, but these are 80k tires..that i hopefully can get 60k out of.

that's my take on the CE.... i would like to have a 123 coupe someday... would kill to have an SEC...but i don't have the time, space, or money for much more right now.
