How many miles can I expect to get from my Monte? Currently has 123K. The reason I ask is that I am disabled and the large 2-door. 65/35 bench seat with shifter on the column cars are no longer in production. It has been a great car for me and I would like to hang on to it as long as feasibly possible. The car has been regularly services, transmission was flushed at 50k. It has been a good car with only minor (usual) repairs necessary. Thanks for all replies!

They last forever with one drawback of a common problem of the intake manifold gasket leaking coolant into the engine. This is about the only drawback for this vehicle.

Thanks for such a quick response. Can I expect 150k? 200k? Looking for ballpark mileage point as to when I need to start looking for something different.

Currently, the only thing remotely similar is another Monte or the Toyota Camry Solara. Other suggestions would be appreciated!

If taken care of 200k is not out of the ordinary
