105,000 miles...

I'm just almost to 105,000 miles on my 2012 2SS/RS. It's been a great car with minimal issues. I'm just worried about being over 100,00 miles now. Has anyone experienced any issues with their Camaro at this mileage? I keep thinking maybe I need to trade it in on a newer model, but I really love the car and I'm not ready to get rid of it. Plus, I don't really want another car payment right now. Any words of advice?

Good to know it was relatively trouble free. I was whining to the wiff last night about mine rolling over to 10,000 miles after three years.

Glad to hear you are just through the "break in" period.. Enjoy it.

Sounds like it's time to add some tasteful mods if not already.

If it runs well and you are up to date with all the maintenance, then best to keep it.

Agreed it seems he got a good one. With all of the 6th gen problems I'm hanging onto mine & not just for the better looks of the 5th.

There's plenty of people with alot more than 100000 miles. I wouldn't worry at all.

The trans slips in 1st with too much throttle; other than that, no major issues.

That's awesome!
Quality sure went up from the late '70s.

My 2001 Nissan Maxima had 218,000 miles and my 1993 Honda Accord has 268,000 miles.

Granted, my Camaro only has 22,000... I'm gonna drive it until it either kills itself or kills me.
