Default These cars are getting old, how many miles

do you have, original or rebuilt engines, suspensions etc, please state the specifics if you can.
Our cars are old enough to have the label "West Germany" posted somewhere on them
Odd to think they're of the Cold war era
mine 89 951
194,546 miles on the original build, engine, transmission and torque tube

164,000 on an odometer that has been broken for several years (and it's been parked for the past 5), 2nd engine/trans/suspension (PO), recent top-end refresh with lots of new goodies. New clutch is going in this week.

My car has about 125000 on the odometer but i was driving it for a year with a broken sender in the gearbox so it should be more. 1 Gearbox change still same engine that is getting new internals as we speak.
