My 2001 had 160K on it when I FINALLY traded it in a few days ago.
Every light on the dash was on despite my best efforts of replacing
nearly all the usual suspects under the hood.  Autozones diagnostic
kept giving the egr valve error even though I'd just replaced it and
had the codes cleared several times.  Had to spend 2K on a new
transmission just to sell it.  Only got 2K for the trade in to boot
and owed 6K.  It's an understatement to say I did not enjoy my trooper
experience.  There's more than enough info online about how the 3.5's
use oil.  I didn't do the proper research when I purchased it and
accept the blame.  Shame it ran me into the poorhouse to learn a
lesson.
