How many miles does these 2.0L motors have in them before they breakdown?

 

Depends how hard you drive it. I beat the ***** off my 2000 ATX(66,000 miles) so it probably only has like 2 or 3 more miles left. lol. I know someone though that has a 2000 with 117,000 on it. Original engine and trans. Take good care of it, try not to beat it too much, and it should last you a long time. Lets just put it this way- Mine will last me longer than I'd ever want to keep it!

 

If i was to get anouther 25k out of my neon id be happy but its not looking to good, I feel excesive vibrations when i put my hand on valve cover.

 

im getting ready to change the timing belt and waterpump, while im at it im goin to get a better cam and valves

 

my 97 has 180,000 changed the waterpump and hg thats it/

 

I'm going to change my timing belt **** sometime soon...I can't afford a new car, so I expect this one to last me atleast to 150k

 

Most any car should go to 200k easy if you take care of it.
Are these really that ****ty of cars?
My 01 has 103k runs and looks brand new inside and out, even the engine bay.

 

Yeah any car can last and last i think theres someone on 1g who hit 250k not sure

 

my cousins 1st gen has 187k

 

I changed everything at 60k...so I'm good till 160k before I have to change anything again...but I highly doubt I'll still have this car when it finally rolls over 160,000 on the odometer.
