1998 145k.

Bought it at 123k. Mostly just maintenance stuff (suspension/brakes/tires). Did have to replace the A/C and starter. Blew a plug out and fixed all of them as preventative. E40D sounds like its on the way out (slips a little and whines in reverse).

Bought my Navi with 73k back in '04. It now has 121k. Besides basic maintenance, I've had air ride problems but no more thanks to converting to a non-air system. Engine and tranny have been great so far, touch wood.

105,000 miles. Only issue was broken exhaust manifold stud and severly rusted lower control arms. Then I did some "minor" mods :) and broke the tranny near 8 months later. Could have had something to do with the 577 rwtq and higher wot shift points though?! Just maybe....
