Re: The day my DSM sold was the happiest day of my life.
Don't mod them! Then they're realiable. I'd like to see any audi hit 280k (including mine), where you haven't replaced 75% of the wear items and spent over 1/2 the (new) price of the car. I enjoy my coupe quite a bit but trying to get any parts for them is a chore, and then it'll cost ya. Most eclipse's weren't designed to push beyond 300hp. Since that what most ricers do, they encounter problems. There's a difference in making a car go fast, and making it reliably fast. Most folks aren't will to spend the extra time/money for the latter; hence the problems.

There are many 80/90/CQ's with 250-310k, all with original clutches, bushings, and such. Brake parts, strut inserts/upper mounts, and fluids are all exempt from your "wear item" catagory. None of those are terribly expensive.

I used to work for an engine remanufacturer, number one replacement engine we sold was...
...early 90's Mitsi 4cyl and V6. Valve seats were bad straight from the factory. Sold quite a bit of tranny's as well.
