After years on this forum I've noticed that hitting 300,000 miles is relatively common. 400,000 seems to be quite a bit more rare. I'm at 338,000 and change and wonder what's left in my engine. A bit of clunking from the rear tells me that a rear suspension rebuild is in my not too distant future. I can handle that. My question is who here has broken 400,000 miles? Original engine or not? Major repairs involved?
Mine has had a full front suspension rebuild, tranny swap, front and rear brake rebuilds, and a bunch of other stuff documented in a 2" thick maintenance folder, not to mention body and paint work. 72-ish thousand miles to go to hit 400 grand, and at the rate I'm driving, that should take about another nine years. Or when this one grenades I could go with something else. BMW 3-Series, Porsche 911 (I know, $$$), and Alfa Romeo 4C
, Scion FR-S, and others are possibilities, but I know they won't go as far for as cheap. A few years ago I seriously considered a $500 69 MGB.
