Default 200 K!

Just broke the 200 k barrier. Still going strong as ever. So happy with this baby. Only routine maintenance and a few light bulbs changed

You really need to watch out, almost all non turbo V8s suffer from bore scoring!

Hope you have many more trouble free miles; congratulations!

That's a great milestone! Out of curiosity has the transmission fluid ever been changed?

Congrats! I hope to get 200+K out of mine w/o putting a mortgage on the house to pay for repairs to get it there.

Yes, the dealer recommends at 80-100,000 miles. I say keep it stock, do recommended maintenance and not to abuse it and it will last a very long time. She still drives like new even with the harsh Chicago winter and salted roads (with no signs of corrosion).

That's awesome! My 2004 CTT is at 197k miles, so should be joining you soon!
Pretty cool that there's another 200k mile in the Chicagoland area!!

(I cheated a bit by buying mine used at 194k, but it drives and handles great)
I'm just finishing up the 200k service items on mine, DIY.
