I have a 2003 PT GT. A couple months ago I had the timing belt changed, water pump, radiator hoses, fan belt, flushed the radiator, serviced the tranny, new motor mounts, gave it a new battery and some fresh shoes at 103,000 miles. Runs like new, uses no oil, and I'm ready for another 100,000 miles.
