the 5th gen V6 cars are very reliable those motors can easily 300K. The trans should make it there as well. It's the 6th gen V6 cars that are problems

You just need to be sure to keep up on the maintnence with those. Those engines can be money pits if they start to leak oil too. But as long as the maintnence is kept up then there arent any real issues.
