Mileage should be closed to 300k km. Car now used by my daughter to college and still gives good mileage (515km) per tank. Over the years if my memory serves me right, the following has been changed at outside workshop..

2 sees of front and rear KYB absorbers with mountings
2 sets ori engine mounts
1 set of front and rear disc with 5 sets of Bendix pads for the front while 3 sets of pads for the rear
Halogen bulbs multiple set but now using Led bulb and full sets of bulbs all round incl interior
Meter changed to 2nd due to kaput
Belting 3 sets
1 set lower front arms.
Multiple Ps3 tyres
Have service compressor and starter, not replace
Car is fully soundproof DIY
Power window front motors and rails
Reverse sensor 1 set
Multiple batteries
1 set radiator fan motor and blade
1 new radiator
1 top engine gasket
Multiple set of wipers
Changed all speakers to Focal with Alpine amp and 8" trunk woofer still pumping good sound

That's all I can remember. Car paint still ori but think need to repaint although no rust to be seen yet

paint still look good (from far) thought. why need repaint?

There's no visible faded paint and it's well taken care over the years. Just that multiple compounding and polishing will have reduce the clear cost

german brands will gut you in long term costs. You may find your retirement funds to be finished before you die. Plenty of decent cars without noise, i mean there is lexus.
