Have you even put fuel in the tank yet? My first tank when I picked the car up from Tyler netted my 812 miles before the reserve light came on.

My experiences are quite different than yours, when I got the car slightly more than a year ago it had 167K on the clock. Just went down to the garage and as of this morning its now showing 203K.

I had to laugh when I read the ball-joint comments, just as Tyler said I'd noticed some funny wear patterns when rotating the tires and a couple weeks later the ball joints started squeaking. I replaced them last week, not sure if they are original but the improvement in steering feel/tracking is astounding. The ball joints are cheap and they are pretty easy to replace.
