So, this happened today.

 

Congrats

Pretty stable pic for driving 70 mph...

 

Congrats! Got a 94 SL1 with 260,000 miles, original clutch.

 

Far out, man! Only 300,000 more to go! Then you can rebuild it and go another 500,000.

 

congrats! I remember how pumped i was to hit 100k with my saturn lolol.

ill be seeing 200k out of my diesel by next year

 

I just got to 200K last month, and I'm hoping she doesn't start breaking down on me. How often do older Saturns make it past 200K, 300K?

 

The SOHCs tend to last longer than the DOHCs. 300K+ is not unheard of.

With anything that old, you're going to start having issues w things like wheel bearings and bushings, and all the other things that are original but do have a finite lifetime, like starters and A/C compressors and fuel pumps....to be expected

 

I've already done the front bearings, all four struts and springs, all four wheels and tires, a heater core and a radiator, a refilled A/C system, ignition cylinder, muffler, mirror bracket, brakes shoes and disks, and a bunch of sensors. Most important of all are new front and rear badging!

 

Interesting! Is there a fundamental engine/mechanical reason for this, or was the SOHC quality just better than the DOHC?

 

Just hit the 200k mileage club today.....
