A lil over 180,000 miles on my 03 Aero wagon (5 spd manual), and running great!
Had to replace some burnt valves after purchasing it at 140k, but it was well worth it for this car. Other than that I replaced/upgraded the turbo, kind of an elective thing, as it was only smoking very slightly. Very little work otherwise and it is very solid! I was able to get a friend working at a dealer to get records for me by running the VIN, and it was a CPO car and dealer maintained its whole life. I have a very long list of items replaced prior to my purchase, including "issue" items like the fuel pump and rear suspension.
They may not be quite as bulletproof as the B234's in the 9000, but I think if properly maintained the B235 is a very solid engine!
