Anyone else have a high milage Vette that still runs alright?

My 05 has 113K miles on it, putting almost 700 to the wheels.

I have 07 with 97000 and runs beautiful and very fast.

I bought my '09 in January / 2017 @ 98k, currently at 118k.
no major issues ( 1 fuel injector, 1 battery {faulty seat switch caused a drain }, 1 turn signal bulb, 1 lower radiator support ), otherwise, just maintenance ( tires & brakes ).


I've seen others posted mileage way beyond what I've got though.


drive 'em if you've got 'em!

If it's still stock you should have a very reliable LS2. My 05 has only 54000 on it but I plan on keeping it a lot longer.

100k is not an issue as long as it was even decently maintained.

62corvette

08 convertible with 93k on it. No issues ever. Well, it does need tires again.

Happihank

Well this is good news. Mine runs alright- hoping to keep it as long as I can. Thanks for the feedback.

Mines got low miles, what were some minor/major issues if any? Does it have the stock harmonic balancer?

135k on my '05!

My 05 has 15,701 miles looks like I got a long good haul with mine. Glad to hear there not bad if you take care of them.

Daddy mack

I actually need to replace my harmonic balancer.

2008 z51 manual purchased new just rolled over 117k miles tonight.

Best car I've owned in 40 years.

This vehicle has been utterly reliable.

Just an amazing ownership experience.

Can't bring myself to sell this vehicle as it's been too good.

I change the spark plugs and wires every 50k miles. I find the tires last around 20k miles. I did the shocks with bilsteins around 60k miles and noticed no improve,ent.

I did the brake rotors and pads about the same time (60k) and I decided to just do the front pads at around 110k this time around. No rotors .

The water pump was changed out between 80 and 100k miles.

I cracked the plastic radiator around the same time.

I find I have to buy a new ac delco 42 month battery every 27 to 36 months...otherwise I get a weird range of codes on the DIC which resolves itself when I put a new battery in the car...( service active handling which goes away with new battery)

That's a remarkable reliable vehicle. IMO

My 2005 hit 212,000 miles a month ago. Still runs strong.

I just turned up 30,000 miles on my 05 last summer. Figure it'll be toast in another 10,000 miles or so. I heard Honda makes a nice car.

cadyshac

Honda, man maybe one day I can move up to that.

I bought my 05 last Feb with 90k. It now has 103k with no major issues. Most vehicles hold up better being used not sitting in the garage. Enjoy yours. I sure do enjoy mine.
