Default Re: 100k Miles!!

Its not only Honda's and Toyota's that go well over 100K with no major problems or rust, IMO every car from the early 90's onward that has been given reasonable maintenance and care should be able to go safely over 150K. I have a 1999 Grand Cherokee 4.7l V8 with over 130K that has been used for towing a 5,000 lbs horse trailer. It hasn't had any major problems. I have replaced 2 sets of rotors all the way around but I don't consider that a problem with the extra load of the trailer. It's on its 3rd set of new tires (including the originals). The only problem around 100K was a leaking gas tank (pin hole from rusting inside out) which could have been caused by water at the bottom of the tank. I did replace the fuel pump/sender unit while the tank was out as precaution. They were a couple of driveline noise issues initially that were eventually corrected under warranty.
My kids have driving 2.2l GM engine Chevy Cavalier's and S-10's over 160K with no major issues.
