Bought my 98 recently right as the clock rolled over to 271. Pretty good maintenance on it and it runs great right now, engine purrs. Definitely hoping for 300, 400 and God willing 500k on this. I wanted a vehicle I could turn a wrench on again and I'm sure I will get plenty of opportunities. Last vehicle was a 2017 Rogue, too much electronics and never even did my own oil changes, only changed the pads and rotors on the rear. So far after two weeks I've done some flushing of the clutch MC fluid, still need a few more cycles to get it clean and might have to do a bleed, and an oil change. Pretty cool being able to change the oil without stands or ramps with the 2" lift and 265/70r17s it came with. Nice and comfy under there on the creeper I haven't used in years that finally gets some love. Also nice with how much the lube techs are charging for labor these days (I hope that means they are getting paid well, I know I wasn't back 12 years ago when I did it lol).
