have 14 years on mine
and going strong
2 big problems
transmission for hauling too much weight (stupid me- lesson learned) and suspension last month (expected living more than a mile on a dirt road that is maintained when I feel like it)
yuck!
nothing I have ever been through so that is the best response I have. I am not a fix it myself when it comes to cars that have to go on public streets
yeah- mine was just a bit younger than that for shocks and struts but use it hard for work
