2005 QC 4x4 107K miles. Bought in Jan of 2013. Only major problem was the transfer case shift motor. Constantly one minor thing after another though. I blame the previous owner.

Bought Pleco in 2009 with 13,000 miles and I'm about to hit 90,000 miles. Only problem is with the damn AC leaking into my front passenger seat.

Found my 05 SLT on eBay back in the fall of 09'. Had 42K miles on her at the time. Just hit 148K miles last week. No major issues. Other than routine maintenance, had a guy service my rear diff, totally cleaned my engine compartment last summer, stripped my interior once before when I did my stereo install...doing it again this summer to clean up a few things, improve my stereo set up and upgrade a few of the electronic accessories (mult usb/power outlet access, add an inverter, led accents, etc). Had a humdinger of an accident about 2 years ago and came out like new. Got a black eye on my front end this past winter that needs some attention in the near future. She's still running great and at this point I intend to keep'er as long as she's good to me.

Black Cat custom gauge face, I think 3 or 4 of us went with these. Red was one color choice.
I couldn't stand the green glow on the stock dash anymore.
