I sold my 84 4000Q about 4 years ago with 415,000 on it. Its still on the road
to this day, and when I sold it it needed nothing.
In the time I had it (since 60K miles) it DID go through
3 exhaust systems
Countless oil changes
Struts
Lower control arm bushings 3 times
Subframe bushings 3 times
rear diff bushings once
Fuel pump
Radiator.

Not bad at all for that kind of mileage.
