    That's only 132,000 miles. Engine should run strong for another 150,000+ miles easily if you take care of it. We have a '95 Mustang with over 500,000 kilometers that still runs great.

    I have a roller 302 with over 400000 Kms on it, and it's like new, the cylinders even have the cross hatching still.
