Fantastic car that has withstood the ultimate test
 For the first half of this cars life it lived in the frigid , salt covered wastelands of Western New York...   For the second half of its life thus far, it has been broiled by the punishing sun and sea salt of Florida.     The car hasn't skipped a beat thus far!      Major repairs have been as follows:   The air conditioning compressor died at 84000 miles.   At 155,000 miles it got all new struts and springs.   New brakes x 3 thus far.     At 111,000 miles the right rear door rotted through on the part adjacent to the window - the central pillar; the same has now occurred on the drivers rear side.  I'll chalk thus up to the lovely Buffalo winters though I've heard that cars routinely exposed to road salt have this as a fail point.    In both cases a door from a junk yard with matching paint from a rust free area was found and no one can tell that it's not the original except me - because I know....    The headlight covers require periodic maintenance with rubbing compound to keep them clear 2 x per month.  Annoying but cheaper than replacing.    Other than that maintenance and tires only.For the first 8 years I meticulously changed the oil every 3000 miles.   After that I switched to Mobil 1 synthetic and now change it at 5000 mile intervals.I hope to get 300,000+ miles before it gets put out to pasture.Update:   The clear coat is largely gone and the paint looks dreadful.   Some might junk it but it's such a great driver I'm going to go for a good but not great paint job and clear coat.    Also the steering rack and a tie rod went at 199055 and it's getting time to replace the drive belt and water pump.    Still, as Winston Churchill might say, we soldier on.
