Amen to that, Kent.

I too haven't yet had the chance to pile on the miles on my UrS6,
but I've got 197K on my 200Q (4-sale), and had 230K on my
4KQ (okay, not turbo, but still I-5) with nary a engine/driveline
problem. All cars run (ran, okay, the 4KQ was retired by the 
owner/friend I sold it to because he couldn't get into the car, so
the doorhandles weren't engineered up to the driveline standards!),
strong, but unlike Kent, I've never run any of them out of oil. Don't
fear JR, it'll go ALOT further than 100K. To your NEXT 200K
(which would be nothing special in these cars).....

Now if it's electrics that concern you.....
