i fell like i own a "low mileage" C6 at only (LOL) 96k miles!!

I have a bunch of repairs from the original owner (i am second). appears the sunvisor went a few times, the nav radio at some point. a speaker, pass side fuel sender (iirc). i also replace the F55 shocks with new F55 shocks at 95k miles and torque tube (bearings were noisy) with an OEM new from GM at same mileage. original owner couldn't get the torque tube diagnosed correctly. they replaced the flex plate twice i believe lol... that was at a GM dealer as all the repairs were done there.

My 07 Vet made it to 211,000 miles before the engine died, hydrolock... The C6 has a nice body IMO. I was very lucky, I had an outstanding on call Tech, who owns his own shop, VZAutoworks. I put a new engine in it and sold it to a very good friend of mine. I am now waiting for the C8 and maybe I will be back in to a Corvette. So if you are lucky enough to have a Vet in your life, enjoy it while you can, they are great cars with even better communities.

I love hearing these posts. My 2006 just hit 90K. Needed a wheel bearing. No Biggie. Love this car. Want to cam it. Can upgrade some internals at same time.

Wow, I guess I'm on the low end with only 91k on my '09. Loving it so far and will be driving it right up until it snows this year.

WTF!!!!!!

Were you warned about this? Don't want to knock a reputable vendor so maybe this is because they are in such demand (I hope?)

Those of you with high miles, how is the interior holding up? Especially the seats and even the steering wheel?

'05 Z51 A4 Vert. 204K Smoke, drip and rattle free and tracks nice and tight. Interior like new, except I repainted the console which looked old, and drivers seat outside bolster showing wear, but not bad. Only major repair was HB at 175K. Having sand/rock blasted nose and hood painted and replacing headlight lens made it look as good as it runs! Favorite option is the 3.15 rear gear. Makes it feel quick
