I'm at 130,3xx
Did a water pump back around 128,xxx or so, and just at 130,000 I did both the upper and lower hoses.
A few LIMG jobs but I had the head gasket done last year in July about 120,000 miles

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
