How long will a Mark last

Since I purchased my 98 in 2009 I have put nearly 70k miles on it, it is at 138k now. It seems to run fine, the front end was all done, new air ride from AAS, tranny cooler, blend door and neon fix (all thanks to you wonderful people of course) synthetic oil in engine and tranny, 93 octane only, I like to think I take pretty of care of it. The interior is having its flukes, steering wheel sticks on easy entry, auto dimming mirror appears to be fading, but it still rides good, and runs fine, although the tranny has a bit of a hard time going into third gear lock up, but this is avoidable if you handle the throttle right.

I don't believe I have seen any with over 200k on them though, I am wondering how much longer before something fails that is more costly than its worth.

Part of me wants to garage it, but I can't think of another rear wheel drive car with a decent price tag.
