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!

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!
