I replaced the trans when the trans cooler cracked and let coolant into the trans at around 160k. Not Cheap. That was 3 years ago. Water pump went out not to long ago easy fix, be sure you use all new hose clamps. Every time I tell myself "get a new car" I change my mind. On the freeway you can't beat it ,fast ,smooth, plenty of power and comfy about 24.5 mpg to 28 mpg gets better gas mileage @75 to 80 at about 2400rpm. Around town average 17 to 21. I do need to replace the control arms, the right side is clunking. Over all I think it's been a great car.
You get 21 city and up to 28 mpg highway w/ a 540(??) A 4000 lb. V-8 car? Not calling you a liar, just wondering how you do that. Egg under the accelerator pedal? Electric supercharger? I'm baffled here. You might have finally beat the laws of physics.
