190K and just put on the 3" exhaust

Funny, I asked this question just over a year ago. I BOUGHT my Aero at 145K. It's at 190K now. Simple maintenance items I do myself (Motormounts, serp. belt, etc.) and others I outsource. My pre-purchase inspection indicated that the trans would need to be replaced. It did after 2 years and I'm still in the car for less than $9K.
I put the 3" turbo back exhaust on recently and it has completely changed the car for me for the better (and I liked it before). For your maintenance limits, you should be able to hold onto the car for at least 3 more years. Not that the Viggen is a bad car, you just won't get one for the cost of upgrading the Aero with an exhaust and ECU upgrade (I still need this).
