Mines at 206k and going strong.

The OM606 seems to be holding up well.

There are a couple of 95's here that are over 300k.

Most of the problems engine specific problems are fuel leak or GP's for the msot part. Leaks are easy to fix; the GP's can seize and snap off which often reuslts in the head going to a machine shop to get it out.

The rest of the common issues are typcial problems based on chasis that you already know about; AC, spring perches, etc.

I personally wouldnt buy a car that came from the east coast because of rust and its contribution to spring perch failures.
