I have a strong 4.6 with over 240 on it. I've seen expys with the same engine with close to and over 600k. Take care of anything and it will last a great while. I think your friend was mistaken.

I would say back in the 70's maybe even 80's 100k was considered to be about the life of a car.

Now 100k and there are finally broken in... lol..

OK... maybe not but 200k + is very common with todays vehicles if well maintained.

The '99 EB 4X4 I had until March of this year had about 170K on it. Great truck. Nothing "major" ever went wrong with it. I found the key to happiness was replacing all the plug coils though - got tired of "issues" related to coils going bad. Upgraded to an '11 EL.

That just means she is all broke in finally haha. You have the potential to have that thing for years and years with that few miles. Mine runs pretty darn good all things considered at 215k.
