2002 UL, bought the car with 131,100 a couple of months ago. Just short of 136,000 now. Car was religiously maintained and had it's timing belt changed at 70k. Only known problems; subwoofer needs to be replaced (silicone seal on perimeter only helped a little), right rear door window shade won't retract, CD player jammed (and is now broken after I 'fixed' it). Even the original air suspension is working perfectly. I'm knocking on some wood as I post this.

04 UL 76k miles the only issue I've had is the air suspension but I just replaced it with megan coilovers. Great look and rides just as smooth as ever

you are very right ... I'm upset because the odometer was rolled back to 78k miles because he hated looking at the high mileage
(believe me, I yelled at him lol) . I have to ask him if he took a shot of it.
the car was a full time cab here in NYC

I did a successful repair on my subwoofer using a kit like this...

I can't recall if this is the exact kit, but repair was simple (with the right parts!) and the result has been working well for over a year now.

I had my subwoofer refoamed with a kit I purchased. The work was done in my driveway and the bulk of the labor was the removal and installation of the rear seat. I believe it cost me a total of around $175 and the subwoofer works great. It beats the $350 for a new speaker + labor.
