    Shouldn't be a prob if you look after it properly.
    Show it some respect, TLC, and regular scheduled (if not more) servicing and she'll see you good for that kind of mileage.

    Be very careful, they're are some real mongrels out there that will quote you one price and give you a nasty little suprise when you go to pick it up. I won't publicly name the reputed company that fleesed me and were down right nasty to my missus when she querried the extra $2000 but pm sent to avoid them.

    That's a court case if I ever seen one, registered mechanics are required by law to notify the customer if there is any alteration to the originally quoted amount BEFORE extra work commences!!!

    I got my head gasket done about 1000kms ago, they said" valve stem seals & guides were done, valley cover gasket & the heads were planed & tested. $1400. A guy who specialises in light commercials and so far so good, hasn't used a drop of water " touch wood"

    IIRC they are allowed a 10% variation. Written quotes only, if you only have a verbal then bad luck to you. Whenever I was costing jobs I would make it clear it was an estimate, not a quote.
