Our 93 (with 3.8) has about 138K and has had very little wrong, of course, minor maintenance. I had a 90 Fifth Avenue (with 3.3) and it was a great car. I put about 39K in 6.5 years, when I sold it @ 133K. The only big problem I had was to replace the injectors' fuel rail. It was a $250 part and took about an hour. People must have like the design, because I had it stolen twice and recovered with out any big damage.
