miles and is still going fairly strong. It needs a bit of work as it is not running as well as it should, but hey for 285,000 miles and a lot of neglect previous to me it still runs well. I can at times hit the red on boost without any performance mods on 89 octane and even with worn out bushings it still handles pretty well.
Here's what I've done to mine so far:
timing chain and guides
head gasket and valve job about 20k ago
AMM
new shocks and tires
steering rack due to worn inner tie rods about 15k ago
I expect it to go another 50-100k before it needs a rebuild.
