lol same here.. well i'm almost at 111K. when i bring my car into the dealership they are always like, "whoaaa, an evo with over 50K?? unheard of!" .. guess they usually get totaled before they ever break 100K, i believe it. good to hear about the high mileage, i was starting to get concerned about my "high mileage".

Plenty of DSM's have this mileage if not more if taken care of properly

I will say thoguh that is alot of damn mileage for an 05 lol
well slot of the 2nd gen eclipses were experiencing crankwalk so I guess that's why they questioned it

110,000 miles.

2 issues with the car.

Seatback cracked on driver's side. Fixed under warranty. @ 30,000 miles
Oil pressure sending unit went bad. Fixed @ 108,000 miles

Oh, well 3 issues if you count a certain piggyback unit crapping out on me

111K miles here. I got the car with 108K and so far, only thing replaced was a lot of broken/rusted bolts and the radiator. I can tell the turbo was replaced before because the previous radiator had huge holes in them. Guessing the the previous turbo blew up or something. Other then that, car runs fine and runs strong. And I thought DSMs were unreliable.
