High Mileage
Im sure this thread has been brought up but didnt find anything and wouldnt hurt to have a new one. Whats the SS/SC mileage looking like for you guys and how reliable is it? Mines got 119k and not sure if I should keep putting money into it or sell it and find another balt with less miles.

any vehicle will last as long as you maintain it. My uncle still has a ford escort and it has over 300k on there. And anyone who knows Ford knows that the only other piece of **** next to that car is the pinto....

Still rolling strong with 83K, been out of the country for 7 months and at least 5 more so she is getting a rest. As far as I know it is all original except tires and of course the mods.

But the LSJ is a hell of a engine. Very strong.
Right? It's never the actual engine. Sensors and other **** go that make you unable to drive your car.

sensors and seals and **** lol. But i daily drive it and although its only intake exhaust car it sees full boost every day and often but thankfully the motor is still good. When i asked about a compression test at my local mechanic just to see if it was still as good as i thought he laughed and said it ran better then newer vehicles hes seen and couldnt believe how few issues the car has had
