I bought one new in the mid 90's, traded the POS in at 45k miles and got a sienna. 100 times better.
I've had 5 of them. ALL of them have gone at least 250,000 miles. ALL of them had a transmission at 70,000 miles. I have one now, a 99 with a 3.0 mitsubishi engine. Only 71,000 on the clock, old people owned it before me. I had to change the oil 2 times in a couple hundred miles, replace a shift sensor, brakes and tires. I had to drive it like it was stolen for a while to get the old people out of the motor and trans to "learn" my habits, but I'm sure it will hit the quarter million mark also.

AT one time I would BUY them with 100K on them and drive them until they dropped dead.
