Unknown number of miles as the odometer died a couple of times, the second time it didn't get fixed. The engine burned no oil between changes, but the transmission had been rebuilt early on due to the undersized pinion gear on the early 5-speeds. Rust was starting to really take hold, which tempered by my father's gift of a pristine low mileage 1988 Volvo 740 Turbo as the new beater car, prompted its demise.
After the bugs got sorted out, the 900 was about as reliable as cars get, left me stranded only once when a pin fell out of the shift linkage. I don't expect to have anything like that again in my lifetime.
