I'd like to know the condition of peoples' rides out there...what year and tranny and what problems if any you've experienced at whatever mileage sh#t happened, so we can know what to expect.

I'm in a '95 GXE 5sp with 79k...usually with the rag top down so my hair can blow...but no problems YET. But the paint looks like its seen about 179k.:angry4:

What do you mean "rag top?"

 

[caswellj747]

I was kidding.....dont worry about it.

1. I got my rear struts replaced at 54k (under warranty)
2. both 02 and knock sensor at 60k
3. alternator at almost 90k
4. distributor at 120+k(crank ankle sensor failed)
5. blown engine at 150k(all my oil blew out on a 300 mile trip)
So I got a 97 engine in now

6. 151k ....I'm looking for a new radiator right now

Sorry but my paint is in almost perfect condition.

Besides my engine crapping out, I consider these normal repairs.
and I didn't expect my rear struts to fail, especially when I still have factory struts on front and they feel good still.

my car has 145k miles and the black paint on it looks like new. I got it recently and replaced motor mounts, got a minor oil leak fixed, not anything else too major...

i got a 93 GXE, my paint looks ok, it's not amazing, but ok. I'm starting to have some problems now, but nothing a few trips to the mechanic, or my driveway won't fix. It has 163,000 miles on it now. I'm getting ready to put on my Greddy & gonna get an intake fer it, too, but after the other minor work is done. laters

I have a 94' GXE w/ automatic transmission. Knock on wood, but I have'nt had any problems as of yet. Paint is factory black. So it looks rough. Hope to have it repainted by end of sumer.

96 gxe auto w/ 111,8xx miles.
Runs like crap and has some problems with it.

I have a 94 GXE automagic, with 92,600 miles. No major problems at all. I had my distributor fail at 80k and new struts at 90k. Paint is in great condition except for quite a few of scratches.

 

[m3dia_lab]

103k i fuked my tranny but thats from downshifting with an auto!



thats about it... alternator at 90k i think

 

[donnie]

the tranny has 169K miles and is alittle shitty now(alot shitty)
replaced the engine at 150k cuz i was gonna do the nitrous and i got a kick ass deal on the engine. but when we opened up the old engine to see how things looked...the thing was in practucally perfect condition. basic maintenance goes a long way

 

[aaron1017]

Am I the only one without alternator problems!?!?

 

[Henchman]

I havent had any alt problems either, but im sure i will soon

 

[white95]

137,000 on a 97 auto, no problems with motor, paint is like new,
needs front end work

 

[Raider007]

170k and i haven't had alternator problems or anything. Right now though my car is in the shop cause it doesn't want to say on or anything. Oil is getting into the distributer somehow and shorting it out. So far taht's what they figure the problem is so far...working on stopping the oil getting in where it shouldn't.

this is my first problem since i've owned it, besides basic stuff and i needed to change my battery also.

95 GXE auto btw
