284,000 still original engine , still goes like a rocket , doesnt use or leak a drop of oil
the main gripe if i have one is I have put 3 steering racks in this car in 6 years and there are signs that the one in there now is on its way, otherwise its been a very good reliable car, things I've replace 3 x steering rack .... problems started after I installed a full pedders suspension alternator Front discs 3 x batteries

AUII XR8 Sedan Auto - Bought Ex Demo @ 16k, 8 years later just about to click to 170k, only had to replace discs & radiator (normal stuff), other than that hasn't missed a beat.
Replaced the suspension with Bilstein yellows set a bit stiffer than XR, but this was many years back, when the stock stuff was still fine.

Mods i have made include, stereo upgrade, speakers subs amps ect. Flash tune from cv performance (35 extra kw at wheels) 3 inch exhaust system, pedders after,arket sports springs and a set of 20's. Some of the bits ive had to fix have been costly, but i really enjoy driving the car!!

Purchased my AU1 Ghia 6 months ago. Had 99,500km on it, now has 108,000km. Had only done 2000km in the 2.5 yrs prior to me buying it.
Hasn't been the best first few months I guess. Exhaust fell apart so it forced me into biting the bullet and did the whole system sooner than I anticipated. Replaced Steering Rack due to leaking boot, replaced p/s pump as it had lost pressure, replaced both engine mounts as they were completely rooted, replaced the header tank as it was leaking coolant, rear left seat belt jammed so had that replaced and had the climate control screen repaired. However apart from the rear left PW switch it seems to be running like a clock now - fingers crossed.
