I crossed the 100,000 mile mark today. Woo hoo!
2004 MT w/ no major problems. I have worried about it from time to time, but a can of cleaner and or premix usually sorts it all out. Oh, I consistently get 19-21 mpg too

I was in a lease previously that I broke and there was some inequity tagged onto that so all in all I paid 19K for the car + 6 grand of inequity - 5 grand down = roughly 21K + TTL = $23,XXX

Im in the low 15's for my payoff right now and a couple more years to go on the term. I plan on keeping this car anyways so Im not too worried about it.
