These have been out for a while now and I know some folks drive a s*** ton a year.  My CPO drivetrain/engine is up at 100k or 2020.  I'm at 50k now so It'll be time I hit before mileage.   Trying to decide if I'm going to sell when the warranty is up or just drive it for a long time since it's paid off.  I'm sick of wrenching on a daily driver.  I'll save it for the toy cars.

How far are you past 100k?  How many repairs have you made?  Costs?

Do we have here any past 150k?

I'm sure there will be a few that chime in with high mileage SHOs. As with most cars but more so on a SHO maintenance is key, if you are diligent with fluid changes and don't beat on the car when it's cold it should be relatively reliable. Bpd is on his original PTU even with the big power increase but he changes the fluid religiously. That being said turbo and PTU failures do happen Also timing chain stretch and the water pump is behind the timing cover so it's a big job and can take the whole motor with it if it goes so you have to make the choice to accept that risk. I'll be in the same boat in a few years but I usually grow bored with a car by then anyway.

You could extend your warranty further when it runs out.

Hmmmm that's tempting.  Maybe I'll give the dealer a call tomorrow just to see what the options are.

Even more tempting, they have standalone interest free financing options...

I suspect you might find the best price from an online dealer.
