I have 51k on my 08. I think about mileage everyday. I park it 4-6 months outta the year. Do to Iowa winters. But I only think about mileage because I'm thinking about selling it. So maybe you are thinking about selling it

Don't worry about mileage. The car will take care of you the way you take care of it. Keep the maintenance up on it, keep the documentation on the maintenance. when and if you every did decide to sell it, proof is in the eyes... good maintenance overrides mileage. Well kept cars are excellent used cars, and mileage is just a thing. I've owned multiple Z's and mileage is not an issue as long as you keep up the maintenance. Enjoy it, as we do ours.

Just drive it, the car isn't worth much at all so racking up the miles won't matter. Just enjoy it ,

hell my vette has 150,000 hard miles on it and I still beat on it

Best advice I've ever heard, "not driving your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend so it's better for the next guy"

I recently bought an 07 with only 6k miles on it.. the guy bought it new for 31k!!, I got it for a little over half of what he paid, I am going to do the car justice and drive it like it was meant to be driven, I get a smile on my face everytime I start it up!

Just put in good fluids (mobil1/amsoil/redline/castrol) and enjoy her! nothing is eternal.

and honestly this is a japanese sports car, not a ford or chevy so drive it worry free!!!

Be safe!

Just enjoy the Z! I have 136k and no major problems yet!! These cars are for the most part bullet proof.

I hear what your saying, i got my 04 ZR 2 years ago and i got it with 22k on it. now, there's only 28 but that's largely because i can only drive it 5 months of the year which seems to help keep those miles off or kilometers off.

If you feel that you are driving your Z too much then just get another daily driver & have the Z as a weekend driver

Mileage matters if you're thinking about resale value. I decided to keep mine and drive it into the ground. But it does stay in the garage when it's stormy or nasty out and I don't take it to tailgate parties, for example, to try to keep it nice

Id drive it not worrying about the mileage. I've almost hit 120k with the only part having to replace is the water pump so far. Which is surprising seeing how the previous owner tore the crap out of it.

I read through to not repost this.

Unless you are planning on selling anytime soon just drive it.
