i bought a 2002 with 175k miles on it. it's got a small list of issues (all common to the c5) but nothing major.
it still pulls strong, and I plan to do a rebuild or motor swap in the future.
It now sits at 176k.

It's been a while since I updated. I currently have just under 315k on my 99 coupe. Just added a nice Lunatti bump stick and about to take the car in for a pro tune. Rebuilt motor at 246k. Runs and drives like new..
*Update* had the car tuned yesterday. 363 hp to the ground. I love seeing people's faces when they see the odometer��

1999 Convertible now at 171,000
We just returned from a 3,600 mile Route 66 tour and my two owner 1999 Convertible is now at 171,000. We had a few minor issues on the trip: A low coolant reading that turned out to be a bad tank cap and a headlight that wouldn't stay down that was caused by worn bumpers.
I first posted 146,000 on July 18, 2014.

203k miles on mine, longest straight drive I've done was a 25 hour straight thru from Buffalo NY to Austin TX. 1540+ miles. I do not recommend this as the last few hours were terrifying and I was seeing things in the road that weren't really there...

100k!
My 02 vert turned 100,000 miles on Wednesday! And had it a tad over 120mph for luck!
Still as fun to drive as it was 13 years ago, when I bought it!

31K on a 2001, just dont have the time except on weekends and it takes a nap November through April as I cant bring myself to drive it with all the sand and salt they put on the roads, I see what that crap does to my other vehicles. Bottom line it's just a toy, but a toy I wont be without.

158,000 on my '02. CAI, Callaway DD exhaust. Still gets 29mpg @ avg 71mph on
trips to Detroit from NJ. Recent trip on I-86 west of Angelica, NY saw 153mph on GPS.
I love this car (so does my 11 year-old grandson who has claimed dibs on it).
