Well, since its a Kia, thats means its pretty much crap in my opinion. Not sure about 40-50k but maybe 25k if your lucky. I have known some people that have owned Kia's and they thought they sucked, like nothing is real qualtiy, its all cheap plastic for the interior. I think you should trade it in and get a cheap toyota, they last forever.Installing carburetor without choke connected?
They can go up til 200,000 without a repair.How much should it cost to have your ignition system repair.?
If you care for it as you indicate, i.e. fluids, filters and so forth, I wouldn't be surprised to see the car go another 121,000. Seriously, this is not 1965 anymore, engines don't die at 80 to 100 thousand miles. Just keep up the good work, and you might want to consider changing to some of the "high mileage" motor oils that are available.how long do head gaskets on 2003 nissan sentra GXE last?
I have owned several cars that gave me good longevity. IMO 200,000 is no big deal, especially if the majority of them are highway miles. I think the real secret of long life in a car engine is that it gets to full operating temperature when you drive it. Those little short hops to the grocery store are what kills engines. At least that's my opinion, for what ever it's worth...
Where can I get a VW passat adr oil pump?
Generally speaking, an older engine will run well as long as it doesn't run out of fluids. Make sure you keep checking your coolant regularly & change your oil by the manufacturer's recommendations. I have ran my past 2 vehicles over 200,000 miles before problems. (Dodge Caravan - 240,000 miles. Saturn SL2 - 210,000 miles and still chugging)Blow off valves for a non turbo car?
However... there are other things to worry about besides the engine & transmission. Most suspensions will need repair before this timeframe. If you start burning a lot of oil, your catalytic converter will likely need replacing before your engine. Of course, there are the usual brakes/tires & other consumables that will continue to need maintenance, too.
My best advice: once the car is paid for, continue paying yourself the same car payments. Put that money into a savings account, so when you do have a major breakdown, it's no big deal. At that time, you can make the decision to repair or replace the car and not worry too much about money. Good luck!
whats the best way to keep alloy wheels clean?
My brother had a 2000 Spectra and he had 721,000 miles on it before he had a accident and the insurance company totaled it. I told him to use synthetic oil and change it regularly. he works as a bank courier and puts between 2-3000 miles a week on his car. He just bought a brand new KIA Rondo, so I'm waiting to see how many miles he can rack up on that baby. He kept excellent records on the maintenance and the only real big things was he had to replace the transmission twice...More Questions & Answers ...
