Default 273k , runs great !

In phila the other day I saw an ap1 with 273k !!! ...the guy told me he just bought the car last week ...when I asked him how much he paid , well he said I did a pool job for a lady on the mainline "expensive area" she gave him the car as payment for the job...his guess was the job was worth about 4k.The car is an 03 ap1 , painted some odd color ..like a steel blue "looked good" I then asked if he ever owned an s2k ...he said no never even thought of getting one ... but now I have this car I love to death and want to rebuild it, to keep it forever ....another chance encounter turns someone into an s2k fan boy ...just thought I'd share this story as I thought it is really great to hear , btw later that day we raced and I won just by a hoods length ...not bad for a car with 273k !! ...my car has 81k , now I feel like its just broken in ...both cars had intake and exhaust moods ...the sound side by side at 7500 rpm was intoxicating !!!

I know of at least two other members with well over 200k miles and no major problems, so I wouldn't be too surprised if its miles.

Wow, that is great. I hope to keep mine for a long time but not sure if it will ever reach that mileage. At 92k right now and its an 05 (have owned since 09).
