If the car is well maintained very little should fail. Of course parts like brakes and shocks are going to fail.

My car has 140K on it and there are no leaks, Replaced the radiator last summer. It finally sprung a leak. I am working on the rear gears now, not because they are worn, just wanted an upgrade.

this is all great info I'm currently looking into buying an LS1 around Janurary or Feburary, I've already been checking autotrader daily for months because I can't stop dreaming about my next car.

But anyway, I've always heard people saying that the car will easily go into 6 digits with very minor problems if it's been maintained well. My question is what if it hasn't? I don't mean a 16 year old that beat the living **** out of the poor thing; but perhaps an adult that raced a lot, maybe waited a bit longer than 5k miles for oil changes, didn't get routine check-ups, etc.

I just want to make sure a 50k mile car can last me another 80k with minimal problems. I'll be driving it all through 6 years of college and I'm a high school senior now, my point being I'm not gonna have a whole lot of money to spend in between food/gas( )/girlfriends and what not...

My headlight gears failed at 100K also. Found a guy on the internet many years back I used for my 3rd Gen Firebird, he does them for the 4th Gen too, http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/ Very helpful guy, new gears are brass. If one has gone you may as well change both as I'm sure the other will go soon after.
