I have 88k miles on my 08 and haven't had any problems with it yet!!
I took it to the track for the first time and it ran 12.363. I don't baby it much around town or on the highway either. I think it'll last a few more years, at least I hope!!

I've had an S-load of problems with my early '05 MN6, it's a daily driver over 7 years old now. 28K small town miles.
A/C compressor went out I think year 5.
One hood strut failed this past summer.
SCL went out recently.
These are the only wear and tear problems I think I've had.
Of course the SCL is something only applicable to '05 MN6's.

I had 58k on my 2006 before I sold it....the later owner finally wrecked the car around 69k miles....didn't have any issues while I had it or the owner after me.
I have seen Corvette's come in the shop as high as 198,900...yes that is right almost 200k miles on a C5. The car was a bit worn and the headlight motors didn't work quite right and needed some switches replaced. Mechanically the car was great.
Highest mileage C6, has been a 2006 Z06 with almost 100,000 miles.
Depends on how the car is taken care of....seen them fall apart with as low as 20k on the clock
