[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 559011, member: 56140"] How many people here have put over 100,000 miles on thier vehicles without a problem? People will only complain when they have a problem. It is rare when you hear someone say that they drove thier vehicle xxx miles without a problem. Just because some peopple brag more then others does not mean that it doesn't happen. A guy I work with has a 87 Jeep and a 1996 Ford Taurus. We were speaking one day and we got on the subject of cars. He was talking about his Taurus. When I asked him how many miles he has on it, he just said, 180,000 miles. I said, "How many?". "180,000 miles. It has been a good car. Never did a thing to it." He acted like it wasn't a big deal. That is my point. If he would have had problems with it, he would have told everybody about the problems he is having. If he hasn't had any problems, he would not have said a word. Consumer reports is not the always accurate. Back in '89, I was reading Consumer Reports. They rated a Mazda 323 with high marks, but rated the Mercury Tracer with low marks. Both were made at the same plant. Both had the same engine, Same body, same tires. Same everything. Why did the Mazda score so good? You tell me. Tom [/QUOTE]
