117,000 miles and the Head Gaskets are shot! We've had intermittent problems with coolant loss and once the drops became puddles, finally found out the radiator had a crack in it. Took it in and had it replaced. After replacing the radiator, they did a pressure test on the system and everything was fine. Problem fixed! Cool! Nope. 2 months later during a routine fluid check (because this thing uses and loses all kinds of fluid - but that's for another rant), we again noticed the coolant was low. Took it back to the shop that did the radiator and he again pressure checked it. Now the head gaskets are shot. Probably just keep driving it until she dies - this thing isn't worth the cost to replace the gaskets. We've already put way too much money into it in the last 7 years and it's not worth much anyway.
