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.

Have
86...95K
92...150K
95...51K

Had
91...107K when wrecked
85...163K when sold

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