My 1988 SE non-turbo has 235,000 original motor miles due to regular maintenance, engine flush with every oil change and fuel injector cleaner with every gas fillup. Compression is around 7.5 to 8.0 and engine burns 1 qt. of oil every 700-800 miles. Engine still pulls strong with no hesitation.

Mine's got about 150k and as far as I know the only major repair has been the alternator a few times. My electrical system is total crap right now, so I guess I could tack on a few grand to get that mess cleaned up.
