If I can get my car to 260k I will be happy becuase it will be worth it since I just paid it off in september of 09. 281k is nice, but I thought somebody on here had 250k but I forgot who it was.

That was my first post in a while but I'm a member since 2006. I've read all of your posts.Hard to believe but 281k and still running it's a heart stopper. A year ago it got windshield fluid at the motor and I thought that day it was the end for it. Changed my oil and sparks plugs and he survived my mistake of putting the vacuum hoses the wrong way. Besides that haven't have any issues with nothing, only minor details. The paint is the one that went old. Maybe sometime I will paint it. But my fear is that if I paint it it will die Daily it runs a total of 91 miles to and from my work. Grand prix is the best. I'm looking forward to buy another one of this car since they are Craftsman. Great site and you have a friend in Puerto Rico. Take care you all!

245,XXX and still drives nicely. I believe the car would be dead now if I hadn't joined this site, There are so many things you can do as an owner to keep this car running stong.
