I've never owned a car or truck with anywhere near 100,000 miles. Last year however, I missed not having a Class B so I bought a 95 Pleasure-way SLR with 99,000 miles on it. I knew it needed tires, $800.00, I found that it needed a new chassis battery and later the ABS light came on and would stay on, it needed a new sensor at a cost of $205.00 installed. The unit is a 318 Dodge and it runs smooth, quiet, and strong. My mechanic inspected the suspension and undercarriage and advised that all of it is in amazingly good condition. I found that the original owner was a single lady school teacher who knew nothing about maintaining vehicles so it was regularly at the Dodge garage for service, the second owner was a back yard mechanic that kept everything in good working order and many parts had been replaced over the last several years including a remanufactured transmission, generator, fridge, roof air, hot water heater, and radio. To date I feel lucky but in the back of my mind I keep thinking that something has to go wrong with now having over 100,000 miles on it. I'll keep knocking on wood.
