Total noob here, but been lurking for a while, since my wife and I are strongly considering ordering a 50th Anniversary Edition.

We've traditionally stayed away from American cars, simply because we weren't confident we could keep running them well over 100k, not to mention that we owned 3 of them which didn't work out on a dependability basis. Obviously, Chevy got most everything else about this car "right," so pretty much our only concern is long-term durability/reliability.

So...how many miles ya'll got now? Thanks in advance, guys and gals.
I know it's a little off-post in a 5th Gen forum, but my old Camaro (2000) has 150K and counting...was my daily driver for 15 years, now my son's daily driver. Runs beautifully! So no fears of American cars here! Now...my new Camaro (2015) only has 7500 miles on it, but I plan to drive it at least the same length of time as my old one!

93K after 5+ years. A busted rocker at 80K. Out of warranty cost me 500 to fix. In top peak performance since then. Vararam Intake, BBK Throttle Body, BBK Headers, JBA HFC's, Flowmaster Catback, BMR Suspesnsion Bushings, Hotchkis Race Pack (springs, endlinks, sways, chassis brace), BMR 4 point strut bar, wider wheels and tires, tune. No other issues of concern, lots and lots of fun.

Over 110,000 in 4 yrs and 3 mos. Daily driver. Been from Mobile to San Diego twice. Phoenix and back for National championship game. Carolina's several times. Bunch of Bama games and just got back from Wash DC for the second time. Interior still looks brand new. Engine bay still very clean. No dings on lateral lines, couple of small scratches (not immediately noticeable).

Had a new front clip put on 4 mos ago after hitting a racoon at 75 mph so front end looks new. Car still looks new from 20 feet. Still drives like new. Love this car and plan to continue to keep her clean and well maintenanced. Average mph is 49.5 for the life of vehicle and mpg is 21.3. I burned through the first set of rear tires in 10,000 miles doing burnouts and drifting. Still light 'em up weekly but eased up on the whipping around after getting a good feel for her. Been trouble free the whole time so I feel fortunate that mine rolled down the line on a good day.

77k miles here

Changed oil, that's it, all I've replaced was the AC belt and that's really about it.

Still need to change tranny and differential fluid.

Pushing 40K now after 6 years. Although its a daily driver I don't commute much. It has never been to a dealership (or a shop) since it left it back in 2010 since I do my own maintenance. I just changed my brake pads a few weeks back but other than oil changes ,tire changes,air filter changes no other maintenance work at all and it has never let me down ever.
