My last two cars:
Civic - 225k -sold it for $500 less than I paid and still see it driving around (has to be over 250k by now)
Prelude - 220k - traded it in when I got my IS and dealer gave me $1000 more on trade than I paid...
after those two it was hard not to go with Honda again

Pretty darn clean for all those miles. Well done.

The seat held up well. Did you regularly clean and condition the leather? I'm nearing 75K right now, and I'm trying to clean and condition my leather regularly to maintain it, but my center console is starting to wear where I put my elbow when I rest my hand on the shifter (I'm in a MT). Car looks like it's still in pretty good condition. From the sound of it, if you fix your overheating issue, it should take you to 300k!
