Glad to hear this as well! My 04 S2K is sitting at 77K and thoughts in my head come in. Like, how much life do I have and like how much longer is it gonna last. I love my S. I take good care of it. Never beat on it and always change fluids and stuff when needed. Only thing my car needs is a wheel bearing and hub assy but as long as ive owned it, its only need fluid exchange. So it warms my heart when I hear about 200k plus miles on a S2k!

Impressive - Given that a lot of people use the S as a weekend vehicle only, it's nice to see people who DD their cars still experience minimal issues at 200k

Nice...the brake pad wear is impressive as I had to change mine out at about 70k (although I am the third owner so I can't say how long I could have made them last).

The items you mention seem like normal wear and tear and luckily not overly expensive (except for the top). Your mileage is very good...I usually average about 27mpg with a good bit of spirited driving in there.

Keep taking great care of her and she will take care of you.

If your brakes last that long, you are not driving hard enough!!
