Our 05 currently has about 78,000 km's ... or 48,466 miles.
We bought it a year and a half ago as a CPO with around 57,000 km's.

Our '01 3.0 has ~78k miles at this time.
A pic of hitting 76k miles, back in April, when I was migrating north
back to the Mtn House, from our FL winter bunker.

4,000 at 80 seems v. high. Not familiar with the manual X - is that in overdrive?

No OD on the old 5 spd manual...the newer 6 spd manual is slightly
overdriven, ratio-wise.

Those rpms were probably a tad higher than usual at that speed,
as I had pressed on the gas pedal lightly, passing someone.
But, yes the 5 spd = high rpms at highway speed. My Vette, pic
below, turns about 1600 rpms at 75 mph, thanks to 5th being OD
and 6th gear is way OD.

Reposting, had her at 36k a year ago, now at 42k. I cant believe i only her for 6k since. It felt like i was riding her all the time, maybe because of ther younger but bigger sister. She has been very good and gave me Zero issues, i love her.

02 3.0, pushing 177,000 miles. Just developed a valve cover gasket leak...no biggie. Unfortunately 1/2 my dash is illegible, tailgate rattles, and rt front ball joint is going but.....177k. Any American domestic would have these same issues before 100k so no complaints. That is unless my trans fails before I trade her in.

Don't know what a valve cover gasket costs, but the instrument cluster can be repaired for $299 (see www.vdorepair.com), the tailgate rattle I repaired for $135, and the "ball joint" is relatively easy and inexpensive to repair (~$100). Assuming the ball joint referenced is a control arm - I did both the lower control arms for $225 and mine rides like new. Of course I needed a 4-wheel alignment to get it to ride staight.
