General Comments:
It's not a typo... the car has 343,000 miles and is still running and surviving my 18 year old daughter to whom I passed the car to (nice safe vehicle for your child).
Two repairs of less than $500 over its life-time(aside from consumables). Incredible.
No better large car for its price.
Cavernous trunk.
Large back seat for three car seats abreast of three tall kids.
Can be thrown around exit ramps.
22 mpg overall.
It still looks good both in design and wear and tear.
Everything works.

166,000 on my Chrysler Concorde Lxi 3.2 and I had to replace the radiator, but this was due to the tow truck breaking the old one. It overheated and I of course assumed it was the thermostat so replaced it, but turned out it was the radiator cap "overflow tank". Also had to replace the fuel pump because the fuel filter was dirty and it's of course in the tank with the pump.
The rear door weather stripping is cracking all over. If anyone knows if anything fits as a replacement let me know.
The car still looks great and drives great. On my second pair of brake pads. Transmission is still strong. Not the greatest in gas mileage. 19 - 22 MPG city.
I recently has to replace the cam sensor, and while I was at it I just went thru and changed up all the sensors. Lots of them to be changed. But they are cheap and better to replace them than wait for one to fail.
All in all, this is a great car that always runs great.
