'93 with 326,000 miles. Bought it in '94 with 9,000. All of you guys on this forum have beautiful vehicles and if taken care of, it will last you a long time. I just replaced the original rear air bags today. I don't know how much time the old girl has left in her and I try to do most of the repairs myself. I've had a number of headaches with it, but all in all, it's been a great automobile.

I have 262K on my '97 Mark 8 and still very strong. I am currently replacing original radiator / fan / water pump / power steering pump and thermostat...
I noticed when I was removing the water pump, the whole engine block appears to be alumimium... nice..! no rust or scaling in the cooling paths..

96 Anniversary edition 104,000 in sig.

A friend has a '94 with 270,000 miles. Its a parts car so that's as far as it will travel.

Tommy - You swapped the motor and tranny in your car? Did I miss this post, what happened??

I'm at 243,800 miles on my 1993. I put 219,300 of the miles on in 10+ years of ownership. Very few parts are original.

One of the secondary timing chain tensioners crapped the nylon pad.
Car still ran ok, but made a horrible noise on start up.. not the usual "start up" noise.. but..the sound a bicycle chain makes when it falls off the sprocket..it was YUKKY.

Probably could have dove into the motor and replaced the tensioner, but found a low mile 93 motor and just dropped it in with a 98 trans.

Back being a relative term of course....

I'm here, but am sticking to answering questions directed to myself, only.
