How many miles do you expect to get out of your c4? I now have 82200 miles on mine. I bought it with 81000, but it feels like it just rolled off the lot brand new. I hope it stays that way this is my first vet and i plan on keeping it for a long time. How many miles do you guys have on yours?

I expect to die before my C4 does.250k is not unheard of before an engine overhaul,could be more.Of course wear parts will need to be changed,but that's just routine maintenance.It's just a machine,with money, and time,in theory,it could run forever.

yeah there was once a thread to see who had the most and as someone already posted, it was in the very high 200k, so dont worry, just take care of it.

bought my first with 100,000 now have 116,000 with no probs other then tranny needing rebuilt when i bought it, if asr is off and you romp on it it'll sit still so i'd say still alot of power left in her plus i commute 160 miles a day and get about 25 mpg not bad for a 13 year old car

Had

All run/ran great. Routine maintence is the key to getting the most out of the drivetrain.

I bought mine in july this year with 39,000 and mine just turned 43,000 and I hope to get 150,000 + seems like that is not out of the norm?
