Default I'm only at 104,000 on my 2000....
How about Massa Rusty down in Pensacola? He's got to be up close to the top. What is the record high miles so far?

Best always,

Original Engine, automatic transmission replaced at 315,000 mi. Water pump, AC Compressor have been replaced, along with a few other items. It is a great winter car as long as the snow is less than 5 inches, so I don't plow.

Been there...getting the steering rack out of the way was the hardest part. Not a bad project though. Have fun

Well I am not close to some of the guys here but I have 168,000 on my 2000 coupe. Rebuilt the tranny at about 100k but only plugs and oil for the engine. I love this car.

These cars are stronger and more reliable than the garage keepers make it seem.

Just turned over 150,000 miles on my '04Z 2 weeks ago!!
Replaced the alternator at about 145k and just did a 4 wheel brake job over the last couple of weekends.
So far, so good.
Love this car!!
