I am sur it ran like it had 200k on it also. hehe.
It ran... That's about it. Rust. Interior plastics cracking, interior paint rubbing off. Exterior hardware faded, weatherstripping eroded. Drivers seat sagging. Clearcoat expired after 3 years, what a crappy paint job. It was a tank and drove like one. Oddly enough, didn't burn any oil. Engine and tranny seemed just fine.

Don't sell the Chevy's short
I have owned 4 Suburbans. I had 190K on the last one and it ran perfect. My current Suburban has 120 K and it tows a 5k lb boat all over the South.
My better half's Lexus SC 300 has 148K miles. 92 5 speed. Great car.

Honda and Toyota
MY 93 Sc4 has 154k
only major changes was radiator, water pump and timing belt.
Every other change was aftermarket enhancements.
Got a Torque Converter and car is still smooth and punchy.
I also have a 92 civic with 150K on it.
I'm trying to see which car will list longer. Not sure if either will stop. hehe

Hey, I won't sell that kind of Chevy short - they build great trucks. So does Ford. I've got a 17-year-old F150 5.8 4x4 with 148K and it uses no oil, starts easy, runs great.
This SC, though, will outlive the Ford, and me too probably - -
