How many Miles on your xA?
#133
I can't remember that far back, but I think I did the tranny and coolant at 60k and fuel injection was at 35k at a dealership. (don'e know how to do the fuel injection.....yet
as far as a brake fluid flush....I didn't really think it was necessary, I had it done at 35 k but the brakes have been pretty good all this time. although i had upgraded the rotors to drilled and slotteds around 20k

I think I got the Most High Mileage xA on the forum, maybe in the country.
I have 296,000 miles on my 2005 xA automatic. Who has more?

I must say I am pretty impressed with reliability of these cars.I mean it's no Mercedes or BMW, but that's one of the reasons - they are not so complicated.. the car still has factory engine and auto tranny(!). I use regular mineral oil, change it every 5-7 Kmiles or so, 87 gas, tranny oil has been changed.
There's not much that went wrong in the car. Starter, rear wheel bearings.....I think that's it! lol maybe I'm forgetting something. other than that just oil, filters, spark plugs, tires. I actually registered to see if it's possible to retrofit aux in to my 05 Head Unit...I'll try to post a pic of the cluster in a few days.

Engine and tranny are still factory.the oil is just mineral oil. the car still drives nice, it's not like new but engine still pulls like before, tranny shifts with no problems, AC blows cold....everything works fine and it's not like I drive like a grandmother,
I show this car no mercy lol.it depends but sometimes it could be driven 300-450 miles a day - I'm not the only driver., it's used for delivery. The main problem for me is that the driver's seat is showing the mileage - due to the mileage it changed its shape a bit.

It's almost hard to believe. I mean 300k with so little issues on a 14k car? If it's all real than it makes the car worth ALLOT more than its price tag.
My Acura Integra had to have it's engine rebuilt at 100k and 1st gear died at around 90k. Only cars I know that have the kind of life span you are talking about are Porsche, maybe Lexus and then some.
When my buddy had his 944 the mechanic said at 200k the car was just braking in.
