It just keeps soldiering on, no end in sight. It's definitely in the twilight of its career, more noise, more vibrations, more creaks rattles and groans than when I bought it in 1993 with 82k miles on it. But it still drives well, and when the weather warms the gearbox is even smooth.
I wish I knew the mileage exactly, but the odometer broke at 189K in December of 1999, and while the car is my second car and is therefore driven only occasionally, I estimate about 5K a year, so probably about 205-207K on the car now.
The fiance' has been making noises about getting me to dispose of it, though, as a "waste of money". Why have 3 cars for 2 people. Its hard to have a car with whom I've had a relationship 5 times longer than I have had with the fiance' be spoken of as a "waste of money", but it certainly has been consuming more repair dollars per mile driven than it used to.
Sigh. Retirement is in sight for my beloved 900.
