200K Alero club
4 Attachment(s)
Well here's the proof of my 2003 Alero joining the 200,000 mile club. I've done a fair amount of work to it and it's been a good car. I bought it with 130k and a bad intake gasket.
So far I've done: Intake gasket Plugs and wires Thermostat MAF sensor EGR ECT Belt with idlers and tensioners Battery Optima 34/78 Alternator Starter Tie rod ends Rear Monroe Quik-Struts Front Control arms and sway bar links (poly) Both Front wheel bearings (Timkin) Hazard switch Multi-function switch All the exterior lights Full stereo system upgrade with Pioneer headunit/speakers 800 watt JVC amp with 2 - 12" MTX subs Not too shabby for a car with that kind of miles |
If mine was still a DD, it would be close, but still not 200
|
In that case... if My car was still around I am sure my 99 would be in the 200k club....
|
Tie rod ends can go bad on these cars???

I had mine replaced around 180,000. Then again, I had damage to the entire steering system. I sold mine with around 235,000. Apparently, the kid drove it back and fourth from school only for 1 week and the exhaust fell off. It sounded like he blew out the piston seals as well. I would not have expected anything like this out of that car. Its sad, I can only hope he got it fixed and the car isn't dead somewhere. Looking good :thumb: |

Kid probably beat the crap out of it. |
Mine has 285,000 miles.
Aside from maintenance, what I've replaced -battery -catalytic converter -outer tie rod ends -several tires -egr valve -pcv valve -MAF sensor -MAP sensor -hubs all around -brake lines from ABS unit all the way back Some other things I may not remember. The guy I bought it from was really up on his maintenance, included a book with all maintenance written down. He was really on it, too. If he stopped at a gas station and put air in the tires, he wrote it down. That guy was the original owner. Even had the original title from 1999. |

A well documented 285,000 mile 2 owner alero? Can't be many of those. 99% of surviving alero's are just trashed. Same for any intrigues I see around. |
I sold mone with 227k
|
Just a lil over 230,000 on mine.
