How many miles to water pump replacement?

Did a search, didn't get a good answer.

My 2000 coupe with 85K miles seems to be doing fine.

But I wonder . . .

I've seen some let go at 40k miles, usually if the car sits for months at a time, the seals go

I've got 122k miles on my '99

I've got 40K on mine, and I think its going. I'm hoping its the squeak, as it is cheaper than the alternator and easier than the PS pump.

Give or take, that's about when I replaced mine too.

Steve, you'll never get any miles on that thing if it sits for months!

176,000 on mine & still going!

On my '99, mine finally did let go and it was about 3 years ago or so. I don't remember the number of miles on it at the time, but going to guess that it was around 180K to 200K. I'm now at 293K and on water pump #2. I do remember that since it happened to me when I nearly got to work, the dealer was the only choice. It cost me about $750.
