How long can I expect my 1995 Buick Skylark V6 w/156,000 miles to last before I have engine trouble?

I have already replaced the radiator, heater core, hoses, shocks and struts. The A/C compressor is shot, but everything else on the car is good. I'm wondering if I should drive this car into the ground or trade/sell it now.How long can I expect my 1995 Buick Skylark V6 w/156,000 miles to last before I have engine trouble?It depends on how it was maintained over the course of its life. If well-maintained, the engine could have well over 100k left in it. If poorly maintained, it could be dead tomorrow. It it running rough , burning or leaking oil? If so, how often do you add oil and how much each time? Also checking your spark plugs for various types of wear can tell you a lot about how your engine is running.How long can I expect my 1995 Buick Skylark V6 w/156,000 miles to last before I have engine trouble?if you treat it like a baby and take care of it and change the oil on a regular basis it will last a long time. proper maintenance and care it will go a long wayHow long can I expect my 1995 Buick Skylark V6 w/156,000 miles to last before I have engine trouble?Watch out for antifreeze leaking into the oil. If it hasn't had the intake manifold gasket changed yet you might consider doing it.
