How many miles is too many?
Yeah I have about 11000 on my 03.
I think once you get much more then 12000 on it you should just put it away and start looking at the newer ones. You really do not want to push these type of cars too far. They are kinda like a Ferrari 355 or 360 where you have belt changes every few years and some flakey body work to go with your disintegrating interior. These cars are most like a piece of art that should be looked at as well as maintained properly for future generations to admire.

I like the thought of having a low mileage car, makes me feel a lot better, don't ask me why but it just does, I have had my shares with high mileage vehicles already. Damn those numbers, it's just low numbers and I trip over it.
'03 with 57k on it. Bought it in early december with 47k on it (yeah I drove a lot the first few months) and haven't had any problems other than tire feathering and some cosmetic issues due to the previous owner not taking care of the interior (those were easily fixed).

I bought a car with extended warranty and haven't used one yet. But 03 have tranny 3rd gear grinding issue and I'm about to take it to dealership soon or later before my warranty ends. other than that, there is NO mechanical issue, the car runs very strong. other note:.. tire thread, camber issue due to lowering spring. =(
oh I forgot to add, my gas gauge is out. I'm at 80k now.

I had 74,500 miles on my 03 before I traded it in. Only problems were driver side side window motor replaced and the retarded Bose cd skipping issue which I replaced with aftermarket. Other than that, no problems. The Z is still a strong running car at almost 75k.
The guys on here with 100k+ miles and no problems do not surprise me at all.
Don't be afraid of a high mileage Z. Get it checked out by a trustworthy mechanic and buy it.

Suspension is going and the mounts will have to be replaced soon but it's all normal wear and gonna get replaced in the next year anyway. Yea I have no idea on the tranny recall but I wouldn't mind a free one.

I have a bit over 11100 on my 03 right now and have to admit that when the new 370Z comes out I will stop driving this one.
It is getting alittle long in the tooth, I almost had to wash it this year!!!
Cant let stuff like that happen!!!!
