How long will my 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS last?

200000 miles is when the car becomes a june. The car will last as long as you want it to last to be honest. if you drive the car aggressively, taking it to high RPMs every gear and waiting till red line to shift every time, then there is a good chance that the engine won't last very long. I have had my 93' accord for 206000 miles and it still runs like a champ. the only problem is that the piston rings are shot and do not do their job. When your car hits about 200000 miles is when the piston rings begin to fail. the car will still run without piston rings, however the proper combustion will not be taking place and you will be doing oil changes much sooner than the average 3000-4000 miles. I'de dump the car at 200000 miles if you could. But at 150000 you'll find yourself probably changing a timing belt and a water pump. It should last you for about 75000 miles if you treat it badly. But if you take great care of it, then it should last for 220k miles.
