I just hit 140600 and I am also on original clutch. Only issue I have right now is the 3rd gear synchro. Not too much of a PITA but still annoying.

2001 se wagon with 225,000 kms

running strong, timing belt ($500 job ouch) & couple ball joints at 180k, just put in new plugs & wires. Front springs replaced on recall at dealership (by surprise, i'm 3rd owner! cool).

Air conditioning compressor catastrophic failure at 200,000 - not worth the cost of repair. pulley still spins fine so i didnt even touch it.

I oil change every 10,000kms, with cheap oil. I never wash her.

I think an engine mount is loose cuz the engine took a hard hit on a rock in a bumpy alley - makes a bit of noise in reverse.

I know its nearing end of life and i'm likely gonna get a 2005 with the duratec engine for reliability or a Toyauto Matrix, even though i feel the toyotas are over priced, making the ford a better value.

2001 zts

181,000 miles. One alternator,waterpump,tension pullies and acc. belt. Two thermostat housings, brake jobs and simple tune ups. It's a sweetheart of a Beater, but nobody in my family drives it but me. That's why she lives.
