183,029 miles today after latest fill, was 175,423 when I bought it last August. I replaced the heater blower motor yesterday with one from rock auto for $40. Bought another 5 quarts of Mobil 1 5-w30 synthetic at Walmart for $26.68.

Tested the blower motor several times and took the parents to lunch and the grocery store to save them driving around on icy roads, topped the tank up on the way home. In spite of the lousy weather conditions MPG still at 34.4, 14.3 gallons in 22 days and 492 miles.

Other than the blower motor, which was not absolutely necessary, no other problems or issues. I have not seen anything on craigslist that even comes close to this car in 6 months.
