Nice to see the svt is good for some miles. I am considering picking up an 03 with 181k miles to use as a daily driver/commuter. Completely stock, and taken care of. Was wondering how much longer it would be good for with proper maintenance. I would also not be beating on the thing. Conceivably I could get another 4 or 5 years out of it at 10k miles annually. Possibly more.
I have 2 other cars, so this wouldn't be my only car to depend on. Again just a daily/commuter.
