I have a feeling the transmission is gonna need some work soon...

i am up to 140,000 miles on my 3400

My 2001 Alero GL 2.4L (LD9) had over 207k miles on it when my sister traded it in. I got it with 177k miles on it and drove it til 195k miles with no major repairs.

00 ld9 with over 196k miles. wheel bearing once, second one in the garage for tomorrow. blower motor resistor, window motor reg, various other bits and pieces including a decent amount of rust repair, and an even more decent amount of custom work.

99 2.4 had 109k when I bought it now has 116K, no major repairs just maintenance stuff and small minor things here and there.

01' 3400. sitting at 167k miles.

repairs:
thermostat around 162k miles.
transmission rebuild around 148k-ish miles... (my fault. :()

pretty much it, love the car and no horrible issues. :)

2000 2.4L

my alero bought at 137k.

repairs done then since car was bought for $400,
one wheel bearing, one rear strut mount and rear sway bar bushings.

mileage now and repairs done.

152k

two wheel bearings in front, replaced abs harness on one side, quarter panels and some rockers, front pads and rotors new strut mounts all around except one, front sway bar links and one brake line.

I think thats everything I can't think of anything more that I needed to do to it. thankfully I can fix it all myself and it doesn't cost me a fortune

02 3400 GLS- bought with 67000km, blew the motor at 174000km, it sat in the driveway for 2 years and finally got replaced last year... other than that general maintenance and a couple wheel bearings
99 LD9- bought with 246000km for a bottle of tequila- replaced alternator and battery, did some bondo on the rockers, replaced all brakes- lines, rotors, pads, front calipers, did a GA interior swap and it now has 275000 with no issues (knock on wood!!)

99 3400 bought with 152k, now has 154k lol. had a wheel bearing replaced, and needs blower motor resistor and cd player. (stock cd player takes a cd in, makes a god-awful noise and spits it back out)

02 2.2 with 146k
back in jan/feb i had a misfire and had to replace the ignition module. $288 for part and labor.

P.S. did anyone catch the spelling in the title? :lol:

251 000 km no repairs just very frequent oil changes and gas additives.
car runs like brand new no dents no rust.

just rolled 200,000 day before yesterday pulling into work. only thing i`ve replaced is the p/s pump and a couple strut mounts. passenger side wheel bearing will be next week

205,000 miles on my 3400.

so far the only really big thing needing to be done is a new cat converter.

also im pretty sure i need to replace the front calipers

my last hoe had 189k before it broke, my new one has 157k on the cluster and the motor i swapped in has around 120
