'90 VN - 284,000 - Used $20 oils in it, but serviced every 5,000km. Still going strong, no leaks at all. Thrashed day in day out. Replaced oxygen sensor. Starter motor sticks occasionally.
'98 GTS - 126,000 - Over serviced and under-driven. Doesnt get many km's on it. Serviced obsessively. '02 AU - 56,000 - Now in the hands of my parents, still serviced all the time, but still low kms for the age. EDIT: Sometimes I get a little (ok, a lot) paranoid about racking up kays on my cars, but then my uncle drops round with one of his many taxis. They have 700,000+ on them, yet they still go. His EL has 890,000km on it, original motor and trans, few gaskets here and there, but basically its as it started. Even the body has held up well, its a bit rattly, but with a bit of TLC, you could bring it back to life. Gives me faith  :

My mum first bought my EA in 1994. It had 214,000 kms on the clock. When she bought it the odometer stopped working in the same year. She does roughly 40,000 kms a year. I bought it two years ago and replaced the instrument panel with a working odometer, and I do around the 70,000 mark each year in that thing. I'd estimate that it's at about 700,000 roughly. GO THE EA! :sm_headba
2 Head gaskets Original block 1 Gearbox Numerous clutches Couple of sensors here and there. Regular oil changes It's still going strong

Had many issues with it? I'm guessing at least a few head gaskets! GK
