I have changed the trans fluid 3 times, and filter once. There was very little silt in the pan. I relplaced the battery once.

I caved on the alternator and had dealer replace it.

Good luck with yours. I am shooting for 400k miles.
Update:
Made it to 317k with no major failures. Oil seal at alternator mount failed and prompted me to trade for a 2010.
