    Had a boss from a previous job with a '87 911 SC with 120k miles -- he was the original owner and 18+ years later still doing track events with the original clutch disc, pressure plate, & throw-out bearings...not too bad if you ask me.

    I'VE REPLACED THE TIMING BELT&THE WATER PUMP 8 TIMES THE CLUTCH 3 TIMES BUT HAS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ! ! !I SPOIL MY BABY AND CHANGE THE OIL ( CASTROL ) EVERY 2500 MILES
    DAMN!
    I believe it though. And i believe the clutch part too. My first car was an 88 CRX. I got it with 236k (original). I beat the piss out of it in the mountains, burnouts, slamming gears. When i sold it at 260k, the clutch was still great, tranny didn't grind, motor was strong, etc. If taken car of beforehand, they run forever. Mine would have if i'd beat it less and kept it.

    Got to be fake. Someone should e-mail him to setup a test drive.

    Why would he get rid of it now? Might as well run it till it dies.

    guy i worked with, (still good friends) has an 95 corolla with 300k, original engine and clutch. all maintenance done on time and oil changed every 3k religiously. his previous car was an 85 Jetta with over 500k. a car will last a long time if you take care of it.
