Let's see how many of you really enjoy logging miles.

Extra no value points if you are the Original Owner.

I'm right at 146,00. 01 TR.

Not even close to 150k miles (anymore). My car's odometer hasn't seen that mileage in over 115k miles. Hoping to hit 300k in the next two years. My only regret is not being responsible for all of the miles. (03 Quicksilver)

Glad you're enjoying yours.

This guy is my hero. Can't wait to be at 300k myself, over a third of the way there!

I'm at almost 160,000 miles, all done by myself. I'm the only one who has ever driven my car since I bought it new and no one else ever works on it either. Only one time when I first got it and it had a warranty problem, rear axle leak. Other than that, it's been great. Minimal problems over the years. I love it. BTW, it's an 03 Z I bought new.

134,000 here. The LS1 and LS6 motors are known to be strong and are good for over 300,000 mi if theyre well maintained. It still amazed me how many looks and high fives i still get in my Z.

you guys have the right idea. why dicker over a couple thousand dollars having "low mileage" drive the wheels off. have fun. enjoy the car. there was a 300k mile 2002 z06 that still pulled 8700 dollars on ebay last year. still on the original engine too

i regret not driving cross country in mine when i had it. at least the oregon, cali, nevada arizona up to yellowstone then through utah and back home loop.

Default 2002 z06

Bought the car on a impulse, 170,000 miles when I got it. Paid $11,500. No service records just a title and 1 key in the ignition. I still can't believe it runs drives and performs the way it does. I run it up to redline multiple times daily and look forward to seeing it turn 200k.

69k and I'm rebuilding the torque tube now. Input shaft slightly bent, bearings replaced as they make noise, and new GM rubber couplers just because I want to sleep 10years from now. Passing on the cheaper BMW 318 couplers.

Transmission being rebuilt, new Monster stage2 clutch with 18lb billet flywheel. All work done on jackstands. Engine is apart for repolishing. New clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, and rear inner/outer tie rods. Then a retune, paint correction and clear bra... and ready for weekend cruises.

I've spent litterally countless thousands (before this current project) keeping my car crisp and tight, I can only imagine the work that awaits some high mile owners to get things right.
