  3. A couple of software reprograms to fix touch screen issues..
  4. Windshield replaced twice due to rock breaks.
  5. Running on third set of tires...
  6. I think the brakes pads are original(!). I can't remember...
My Stingray is going on 8 years old. It looks great and drives great. It's no Lexus, that's for sure. But I don't mind...
My wife has a 2023 Lexus IS350, which is reportedly one of the most reliable production cars in the world. It is very nice to drive but it's no Corvette, that's for sure!
You can expect more things/items needing attention over 100K. BTDT many times.

Toyota and Lexus are the Gold Standard.

My 2014 will soon turn 10,000 miles. Before you call it a garage queen, there is a lot more to the story that I won't go into right now unless you really want to know.

Congrats on reaching 100K! I’ve always driven Japanese cars, then I heard how reliable Corvettes were so I wanted to give them a chance. Hopefully I’ll get to 100K miles one day!

Bought my 16 2 LT in February 2021 with 16,600 miles. Currently at 70,200 miles.



Bought my 07 new and now has 250,500 miles.




Nothing done to the 16 besides transmission service and fluid changes.

07 had fuel pump, Alt and MAF sensor replaced.

Try to always buy top tier fuel to help reduce carbon build up. Very important for engines with direct injection.

Yes it is. And it's just like new as far as I'm concerned.
