I've own since 113k when it had engine rebuild and new turbo. I have been on a 40k/year pace as of late and water pump is leaking. It has for a long time, but started to a lot more recently. It's hard to gauge for me sometimes how reliable it's been, because I drive so much and therefore am on 3rd set of tires and 2nd set of brakes. I think most issues I have had are truely mileage related over time.
Climate control has been my biggest headache. I have gone thru a couple of AC compressors(although the replacements were used). I currently am have a heating issue where in cold weather it won't heat for me.
SID is out
Belt tensioner bracket at 219k - I thought that was good mileage
theft alarm going off on own at 180k - rebuilt via ebay auction for $20 with shipping
Head gasket at 190k
Blower motor around 150k
Other odds and ends like dashlights, but overall I have about $14k invested not counting brakes and tires. For that I have driven almost 120k miles so I am happy and want to go about 8 years newer to a 9-5 or 9-3.
