Default Whoo Hoo.. Just hit 260K!

Pretty sure she'll hit 360k easily; assuming another idiot driver doesn't try to take me out again (lol).
98 GS4 - Normal maint, etc

That's awesome - what are the major services you've had to do beyond the typical maintenance cycle? Anything beyond brakes, fluids, timing belt/water pump, spark plugs, filters?

Nothing major, just preventative maintenance, fluids, plugs, new driver seat, belts, etc. Mostly all DIY’s from this forum. A member posted his odometer showing over 300K a few years back, so I am confident this car will last another 150K (at least) without breaking a sweat. I’m going to give this car to my daughter as her first vehicle (in 5 years) by then it will likely have over 300K. I’ll then upgrade to a later model GS or LS.
