SIUlero is on a distinguished road
01 GL, 3400
Just rolled past 201,000 miles last week and immediately collapsed a lifter, to be repaired next weekend.

Other repairs since purchase in Feb, 2007 at 125,000 (in no particular order):
Driver window regulator and sashes, and passenger sashes (needs driver sashes again)
Upper Radiator hose
Alternator and belt
Battery twice
Front wheel bearings once each
Catalytic Converter
Exhaust Manifold Gaskets
All tie rods
Rack & Pinion (damaged seal while replacing inner tie rod)
Upstream O2 sensor
Upgraded Swaybars, front and rear
Brakes, front twice, rear once
Blower Motor
Fuel Pump (turned out to be intermittent connection in the relay box)
Disassembled relay box to fix that connection
Corroded grounds near fuse box...cleaned with emery cloth

Other things needing addressed soon:
Harmonic Balancer
Struts/springs/mounts (just a little rattling/knocking)

I may think of more later, but that's all I can remember right now.
All repairs done myself (much easier on the wallet), except welding up new cat. conv. (paid for with old cat. conv.)
LIMG was done shortly before I bought it. Other prior work is unknown.
