Not to worry, I have 197,000K on my '88 and it is still running fine. The only major service was a clutch replacement and having the head gaskets replaced about 100K ago. Keep the normal maintenece up, change the oil frequently (and the radiator fluid if you have a waterboxer) and it will last a long time. Makes me wonder, though - who can claim the most mileage?
