    Ha my 03 is at 43,xxx. I've had to replace the EGR valve had it repainted under warranty and now the roof is starting to fade again(kalapana black) Replaced thermostat and a motor mount. Really nothing to big its just that it all came up at once w/in a month so I was really not liking my galant for awhile. Now I'm about to leave and go work on a crusie ship for at least 4 months.

    You should be fine. I'm also 03, she's running 82k kms now but still runs like a charm. No major maintenance on her yet. Just change oil every 5k kms.

    Yea so mine is an 03 and is at 79K. The only real problems I have had are the motor mounts and the ac leak. And that 60K service was not done to the car, what exactly do they do at 60K and whats the next service after that.
