[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8573708, member: 664079"] i am an avid GM hater, but anything they made with the 3.8 v6 would make it over 200K EASILY. I worked for an insurance vehicle valuation company for several years, and it was quite normal to see total loss claims come in with anything that had the 3.8 with a ton of miles on the clock and the owners usually wanted them to be repaired, not replaced. The old pushrod 5.7 v8s were long lived as well. Not that the drivetrain wouldnt break down, because they would, but the parts were super cheap and easy to replace generally. GM used both aforementioned powerplants in so many vehicles that the parts were plentiful. Again, i HATE gm's, but i cant even begin to argue with the longevity of the 3.8. Just change the oil regularly and theyre hard to kill [/QUOTE]
