Took my car in for and oil change and new spark plugs. The service advisor said it is the first C7 they will be changing the spark plugs on. Never had a C7 in with enough miles before. 97,200 on this puppy and the only issue I ever had was belt tensioner pulley noisy and replaced under warranty. The cost of these tires is killing me! I'm on my fourth set and will be do for another for pretty soon. By far the best car for reliability I have ever had.
PS. The brake pads are only half worn out, and I drive this machine hard

That is awesome news with the miles your seeing on some of the Vettes how good the car is holding up!!

As a fellow 1LT/A8 Stingray owner, I'm always glad to read about how much good luck you've had with yours! I'm at only a tenth of the miles that you have but mine has been trouble free so far too.

That's a record from what I've heard so far. People buying used should be glad to hear this. One thing though, I'm sure you took good care of it and did all the required maintenance. You have more miles than a lot of old corvettes. Very cool.

That's a lot of miles - awesome

Curious if any other CF members have more miles than that...

There are a few threads out there if not more.

I know from previous threads that there are at least 2 or 3 C7s with over 100k on them. On one of the Facebook groups that I'm on I saw a picture of an odometer on a C7 that had over 250,000 miles on it, but I'm not so sure it wasn't a Photoshop, as this was a couple of years ago even. As someone who works with Photoshop in my career, I could easily fake an odometer to whatever number I want.

Would you mind sharing what the spark plug R&R ran you? I was just looking around my engine bay yesterday and it looked like the number 7 & 8 plugs would be a bear to get out and put back in.

Thanks for Testing our Beloved! Hopefully we all can have the same outcome??
Now carry on and Enjoy

I have almost 70k miles on my dd '14 M7 Z51 Stingray. 25k miles of that is with an A&A s/c setup. I don't baby it but I don't abuse it either and I take very good care of it. Only issues I've had are the TSB's and recalls that were applicable along with a leaking radiator early on that was replaced under warranty.

Awesome dd.



Oh, and, check this out.

Sold my 2006 with 78,147 on it & it ran just fine!

Dang! I guess you DO drive it hard. What are you getting... 20k per tire set?

Well done, Joe....97,200 miles!

Good job Joe. Hope to see you Sunday at Cars and Coffee!

$242 for labor. And yes it is not easy and time consuming. I brought plugs in that I bought myself. Got them online, and with rebates were only $24. I bring my own parts in most cases to the dealership I use. I noticed that they have must have had to disconnect the battery for one reason or another, as my DIC was back to factory default.
