Wow! 140k miles! That's awesome. What year and model do you have?

it's new to me at 138k miles. Every button and feature works. Amazing for its age and miles.
Carfax indicates it was serviced at the dealer all the way to 130k miles.
Found a service receipt in the glove box and contacted the old owner. She said it overheated, pulled over and had it towed to the dealer. Dealer said it wasn't fixable and lowballed her $500 for the trade in towards a new car. Well, somehow it was fixed, since I bought it from a private car sales lot in (nearly) perfect running condition.
No coolant loss, no smoking and block test confirmed no exhaust gas in coolant. Seems I lucked out for overheat damage.
I spent about $1k refreshing it...replaced transfer case fluid, diff fluids, trans fluid/filter/pan, both crossover pipes, vacuum pump, spark plugs, pcv, coolant, engine and cabin filters, and drivers front control arm.
Timing chain is surprisingly tight, so no worries there.
My goal is to keep this car for 4 years, about 40k miles. Based on the work I've done, I should be in the clear, except for maybe bushings.
Until today I thought I'd have no major work for years, but then I put on the AC and it doesnt work. Oh well, cant win them all.
