100,000 Miles on my car! (page 2)

Double Edge

Be Afraid, be VERY afraid. When my car hit 100k everything seem to go south. (I should have changed the oil more often).

Poztate

I got to watch my car's odometer roll over to 100,000 miles!

I am looking forward to the day when your posting numbers hit the 100,000 mark.

Peugeot 405 - 198,000 miles and still going strong, beauty.

167,000 on my Nissan Maxima and she still runs like a charm!

Black Sheep

Mine's over 60 years old and still hasn't done 100,000.

Maybe I should get out more often.

Cool!

Looking forward to the same on my car. I'm 1/2 way there!

So far the problems with my car have been minor things that one would expect with age: New tires, new breaks, new alternator and belt, O2 sensors, "topped off" the AC coolant, and replaced a door-lock switch.

None of these things came close to "breaking the bank". A "nice" new car will set you back about $400 a month in payments... the cost of keeping my car in good shape has been a fraction of that.

I'm thinking about having it repainted too. I bought it off-lease and it was a government fleet vehicle. Apparently just before it was sold they put a really cheap paint job on it and it is starting to peel off in a few places.

About how much would a good quality paint job cost where the old paint is removed and a new primer, paint, and clear coat are applied? I'm guessing about $700... am I in the right ball-park?

I just called Maaco and they said that for a "cheap" paint job it will cost about $650... for a good quality one... $1500.

Ouch! I think I'll put this off for now!
