I know for a fact the motor mount needs to be changed, and I will most likely do the IMS and RMS as a preventive measure.

I just know I'll be in the 200K range if I keep it for 5 years and I wanted to see if anyone has experience with the M96 engines getting up their in age without any major hiccups, minus all the required maintenance.

The asking price for the car is $12000.

What do you guys think?
I think it is a bit of a longshot. Oil changes every 5K? Lifters? Chain tensioner guides? IMS? Clutch? Water pump? The car certainly could go 200K but not very many have without a significant refresh.

There is a 1 owner sweetie in San Diego with 60K for $8900 right now I believe.
