I'll chime in here. I've got 2 Bonneville's too. My wife drives a '92 with the supercharged Series I 3.8 liter and it just rolled over to 190,000. I drive a '97 Series II supercharged Bonneville and it just rolled over to 160,000. We got both from Auto Auctions with high miles. We've had to put in little repair money to keep these going. Gas mileage on the '97 is around 28 mpg. Unbelievable for a supercharged 240 hp engine. My wife's brother has a 92 also and it has 240,000 on it. It burned a valve last year but all of these have been good cars for us. Other than the standard waterpumps, alternators and pulley type repair they have given no real problems to speak of. I like the older style better but the 99 sounds like the way to go...newer and good history. I plan to drive these till they blow. I put about 30k a year on mine as well. Goodluck.
