78,xxx, DD, owned since 24,xxx, I do all my own maintenance regularly, just the general items have been replaced, battery, belt, tires, etc., fun car to drive. I'm about to get another vehicle since this one is paid for and do some serious upgrades, CAM and forced air.

A little over 124,000 miles now.

I've replaced a Passenger Presence Sensor ($900), a battery ($200), and an alternator ($250). I've had some problems with lug studs breaking, but I think the problem there is related to factors other than build quality. I've been through a LOT of tires, but that is due almost entirely to this driver's lack of restraint on mountain roads. Oil, scheduled maintenance, countless waxings, more vacuumings than I can count (at least five times per week), and it runs great, looks new, smells great, and STILL won't let me out of the gas station without SOMEBODY spontaneously offering a compliment.

The gills ARE little chipped... but, I'm pretty diligent with the touch- up paint, and, being a light- colored (yellow!) vehicle, the chips do not stand out as much as with a darker- colored vehicle. I've also got some (small) inserts in the gills, which provide a little protection.

Picked mine up 11/28/15. I have 1200 miles now that includes the 380 miles to drive it home after purchase. Maybe I should drive it more.

I had 158k on my 2010 before trading it in.

I got 9k on the trade and 2500 off on the 2016 in February.

sspade · 06-09-2016, 09:44 PM

So the record is 158k without any major problems?

Was thinking of starting a thread like this a couple months ago... glad someone did. Mine only has 8k but I plan on owning it for a while and hope to get 200k out of it eventually. Financed it for 72 months 0% interest so needless to say, I have A LOT of payments left!

Righteous!

So there is hope for the LLT? No major issues? And how are you liking the Gen 6?

I had two major issues and one minor issue. Evap solenoid and timing chain replacement. Minor repair catalytic converter replacement.

I started having issues around 110k miles.

I'm loving the 6th Gen. I loved my V6 but this LT1 V8 puts a huge smile on my face. Also the updated tech in the 6th gen is a great upgrade from my 5th Gen.
