Wow, ur the winner so far, enjoyable 248???

Once I got out of warranty, it's been pretty good...normal wear and tear stuff (alternator, clutch spring, idler pulley, couple of oil seals, etc)...no major stuff. Touch wood!

That is SO good to hear.

I guess the thing with owner forums is that you only ever hear about the problems; nobody ever needs information when their car is running perfectly.

It's delightful to hear of trouble-free motoring over that sort of mileage.

2010 with 108K on it and fairly trouble free although when I told the stealer about the bag pipe type noise coming from somewhere, they put in a new transfer box.
No complaints about it's reliability and none about the stealer (Barbagallo) who fixed things without complaint even though I bought it second hand at 60K and never had it serviced by them.

That's an interesting observation isn't it.

I've also found that if you go to a new dealer with warranty issues, they go ALL OUT to help you. In my experience they will not only fix the issues you raise but identify other issues that need to be fixed under warranty. I've experienced this new dealer glow twice now.

But it all seems to go into a heap when they know they have you as a repeat customer. That's when they can't be stuffed fixing issues or are lazy and break things.

I picked mine up Nov 2011, she's now got a tad over 82k on her.

Can't say I've experienced your good fortune Bilbo with the warranty issues, but she's in again now, and this particular mob seem to care a bit, so we'll see what happens.

My 09 110 has almost 110k on it now - no commuting, only trips, so probably not the gentlest ks.

Seems to be running fine - starting to wonder about when to do a preventative clutch change and put new bearings in the belt driven ancilliaries though - seems like these things might be easier to do at home rather than half way along the Canning...
