How many kms/miles is too much?? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Here in salt country (New England) it's about the number of winters, not miles.

For example, I had a full size Blazer that was a rusty and unsafe heap after 10 years, but the drive train was still chugging along at over 250,000 miles.

I don't drive the Camaro in winter, so who knows? Looks pretty fresh after 10 years.

There is another mileage thread. My GN has 165K but like I said elsewhere the GN odometer resets at 99999 to 00000 so no one except the first owner knows actual miles. I am original owner so I know 165K. The V^ 3.8L runs strong but plastic body parts, steel wheels, cloth interior wear out. My 2013 2ss at 100k is like new through out except for curb rash on wheels. No salt applied to the roads in the Pacific NW so cars last for a long time if well maintained. My son's 2005 Scion TC is like new all around except we replaced the engine at 150K. This car is still in style and should last Little Ricky for 10 more years.
