Is their "legendary" longevity all it's cracked up tobe? Anyone like to comment? I've got a '91 example with 130,000 miles (just!) & I'm wondering whether to keep it going.There's a few things starting to go in it.Thanks!
Yeah,it has-BY ME!I've had it since about 40,000 miles & it's given hardly a bit of bother.'Still wondering about what to do....might hang on to see what happens.
150,000 is no big deal for a modern engine, with small engineering tolerances, as long as it's been well looked after with regular oil changes.
The other point is if any car is essentially valueless, there's a time to call it quits and move on.
Service parts - tyres, exhausts, suspension bushes, etc. will all need doing. No point in throwing good money into a yoke that will never be worth anything.
