Highest mileage C5?
Whats the highest mileage C5 you've come across?
I've seen some with a 100k+ miles for sale. Wonder how long these can last with the original engine and transmission.

124500 miles
Mine is a daily driver with over 124k. I have original engine and tranny was rebuilt at 90k. She runs perfect! I hope to get many more miles!!
I have seen some for sale local on Craig's list with over 175k with original engine. Seller claims the still run well!

I personally have not seen any that have more than 100K miles on them, but there have been a lot of them on the forum that report that many miles and much more. GM did it right with the powertrain on the C5.

Over 200K
I have a friend with a 2000 6speed with just over 200K miles (he's first Vette). Car runs very, very strong (he took me for a ride). He just purchased it for 10K, way too much IMO. But, he likes it and he's happy with it, so I'm happy for him...

Someone on here posted a pic of their odometer when he hit 300k. I think he recently did an update w/ 315k.
Here's another on here w/314k
