We don't use it nearly as much as we used to. I think it has 175K on the dial. First 100K mostly highway miles. Just tuned it up, new power steering pump and hoses, AC fix a year ago, just passed smog, now waiting for registration renewal to arrive.
Since it is often parked (inside) and driven once a month for the last two years and only taken on summer vacations into the Sierra, a funny problem has developed: the speedo doesn't work properly, and the miles driven doesn't go up. After about 50 miles of steady driving, suddenly the speedo will start working again and remain working until we park it back in the garage and don't use it for another month.
Also, during the last tune-up three months ago, they overfilled the crankcase by a quart (which I then drained out) but this caused the check engine light to turn on and off. Every time I turn off the engine, light goes out, every time I stomp on the gas going up hill, light comes on (no loss of power or change to vehicle feel). Took it back three times to get this cleared up, but they can never get the light to come on (because the don't replicate what "needs" to be done).
The biggest problem is that the V6 drinks gas. 18 mph highway at 65 mph in High2. Love the Low4 for the Death Valley steep, lumpy, rocky,and snowy roads...like driving a tank. High4 in snow is good.
Bodywork fair, inside is great for 23yr old car.
I'm not selling it, she is, and she doesn't have a price yet.
Still interested?
