Default 10,000 Today

My 17 GS turned 10,000 today, unable to take a pic since I was in heavy traffic. I picked it up 18 months ago. My C5 took 8 years to get to 40,000 and my C6 took 10 years to get to 44,000. Must be driving more now I am retired.

At least you are driving it for a change. Don't understand the garage queens.

Bought mine gently used at 15,000K in 2016.

Put about 23000 on her in just under 2 years.


so about 38,000 on her now with no major issues.

Bought my 2017 9 months ago, just turned 19,000 miles/ Haave a 5000 mi8le vacation rive planned for next month; should be just about 29K after 1 year.


And I work at home, so I guess I only drive for fun.. Put less than 3000 miles on my Suburban since I got the C7. In the 18 months before I sold my C6 I put about 30K on that.

You don't need to understand it. Just enjoy your C7 in whatever way it pleases you.

Congrats OP, been fairly trouble-free over 10,000 miles?

Only warranty work done was two center console armrest replacements (bubbling leather). Otherwise trouble free.

Good to hear.
So many issues reported here on the forum on a daily basics makes one wonder if any are problem free.

My C7 7M 2017 bought new in Aug. 2016 just turned 14,000 miles today. Only issues: slight top rattle (worse since dealer "repaired) and just last 24 hrs. my HUD now missing MPH section, in one format of the HUD. My car problems are small compared to the dealer experience.

I don't get how people can leave this car in the garage and drive anything else.

My 2017 is @ about 12,500 miles after 19 months and I don't think I get to drive it enough, I may go to all season tires when he OEM rubber wears out so I can drive the car more during the cold NY winter temps. I love the car, I bought it to DRIVE it, not make it some pointless garage museum piece.

Got my ‘14 C7 dreamcar used, 5K miles in December. It was traded in for a GS. 14K miles today, no snow or intentional rain driving! I babied my C6 too much. These cars are meant to be driven, make people double take and smile!

Good to see the cars being driven on a regular basis. That’s where the fun is found.
