So for the sake of 22k miles you're going to ditch it ?


It IS an impressive number but I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy it unless they gut it and track it ?
I'd say keep it forever.

Just passed 33k miles on my 03 (I am the original owner).... its only a fun and sun car, no long trips, and it never sees winter or bad roads. It gets stored for about 5-6 months every year since purchase. I hope it lasts me a long time, I enjoy driving it.

RobPhoboS

Wow !
Do you actually drive it hard when you do take it out though ? (molly coddling engines isn't a good thing)
It must be in absolute mint condition though

I don't redline it, or beat on it but I drive it like a true sports car. I change the oil once per season (been running Mobil 1 synthetic since about 10k miles), and I just did the 2 belts, which were starting to crack, probably from age and cold/warm temps. I am planning to do the plugs before Spring while its sitting. Sadly, I took it in for inspection a couple weeks ago, and some jackass took a knife to the hood, and put about 18-20 slices in my 3M clear bra and scratched the paint pretty good...so thats the first real blemishes to it, but it will get fixed and I will put another clearbra on it after the paint degasses for a few weeks...should be ready for my grandpa-like driving again by April or May.

jesus people suck

Man, that really sucks why someone would do that but glad to see you're just dealing with it !
I do recommend you actually take it near to the redline, you're not helping it by nannying the engine like that unfortunately (of course search about modern engines and what happens by doing that). Well, it only sounds like you aren't using it.
Anyway, enjoy !

My Z has 228K and still runs tremendously! Original motor and rebuilt the tranny at about 160K. These cars just love the road...

Mine is at 306k and going strong. Only things I've had to replace are the crank and oil pressure sensors and 2 clutches.

I have an 05 6spd with 165,xxx
It had a new clutch put in, lower control arm and ball joint. Other then that its been a pretty good vehicle thus far. I live in missouri so sometimes i have to drive in snow wich really sucks.

I have a 2008 Automatic Z that just rolled over 200,550 today. I've replaced the plugs twice, the radiator, my shocks, and have pipes on it, but that's it. I also want to mention that I hydrolocked the engine at 150k miles, and have no issues since then, somehow...

What I do need is new control arms, bushings, and end links. But mechanically, I have no issues with it. I do have a scratch that goes from the quarter panel, to the driver door from someone scraping their cart against my car.

I have a base 03 DE engine that I bought 6 years ago with 60k miles. Today I have 229,000. Minimal problems. Just normal car stuff. Starter, battery, plugs, some suspension work, and I have no check engine lights and it’s running smooth. I drive it back and forth from San Diego to Las Vegas about 3-4 times a year.

Y'all out here flexin these high miles!

151K Miles, on 07'. So far no issues, just the ball joints. Valve cover is starting to leak... anyone not had to do those? What about gallery gasket? I haven't done it yet and seen no drop in oil pressure.

calvin.w

For your gallery gaskets to still be in tact, that Z must have been babied!
