Default Mileage Expectations

17 Stingray DD. With not-too-aggressive driving habits and regular maintenance, should I expect to get 200k miles from the Vette?

In my opinion there is a good chance of that, my 15 has 88k right now, my 88 had 175k miles and still ran good, my 96 and 08 both went over 130k miles had minor issues but all were in great running condition

I have had 5 Vettes over the past 30 years. All have had well over 100K when sold or traded. With good maintenance there is no reason a C-7 can’t achieve 200K

Highest miles, thus far, for me in a Corvette was 186,000 - person who bought my car now has 255K on it... with but one "major" repair -rebuilt transmission at 205,000 - put 97,000 on my '15 C7. Only reason I traded was I was offered such a good deal on my '19.

Keep up with the maintenance and don’t continually abuse the car and it should last 200K+ miles.
