<x-charset iso-8859-1>I have 275K on mine and all thats not original except for the wear parts is the engine. The engine definately doesnt have 171K on it so you really need to know how many if you plan on not doing an engine overhaul. A solid body and pan is first and formost... mechanics much less important. How long the rest last is very dependant on maintenance... well maintained and it will last VERY long... not so and even 71K and it could be worn out.
