Default GS300 over 190,000kms?

Hi

im looking at buying a gs300 with 190,000kms on the clock and wondering how much more the car has in her before she dies? or atleast how good do you think the cars are up around that km range?

Thanks

Well I have a well maintained one that has about 214,000 miles. The only problem it has had was a minor power steering leak that I fixed about a month ago...other than that, she's running fine

I'm at 246k and no leaks so far (crosses fingers) that should give you an idea of how long it should last.

Cool

Everything depends on how it was previously maintained. It could fall apart in a month if nothing was ever done to it or it could last another 245thou if everything was maintained properly

Got 235,000 miles. Engine doesn't leak but rack and pinion does a little. Doesn't burn any oil and tranny shifts like it was new. And now I am running 6 pounds of boost and will be 8-10 when I get my IC done.
