I have a 2004 350z Coupe with 71,000 miles, obviously I have a long time till I even get to 200,000-300,000 miles but do y'all think it's possible? I take care of her with every maintenance thing there is every time service in scheduled.

I believe anything is possible. Here is an article about a 1966 Volvo 1800 that has accumulated over 3 million miles.

Hey Chris, the guy who designed the DE350 (can't remember his name, never mind pronounce/spell it) designed it to cover 200,000 miles with regular servicing schedule so there is no reason if you double up on your service schedule and be careful with it then there is no reason why you could not at least double this mileage.

Parts will wear out,need replacement,matter how good your maintenance shedule is.
Had a Suburban with near 400K.engine was never opened.Same tranny.Just felt loose
everywhere.Not worth the expense to redo the suspension,steering etc.
Some engines are pretty bullet proof with careful driving.The VQ?Not much over 200k
before a rebuild/

Currently 130k boosted with oil leaks the main issue. I'll let you know in a few years how it held up LOL. At least I'm getting a perpetual oil change.

Thanks guys, I do plan on keeping her as a classic to keep as a hand down to my future child and so on, hopefully it'll stay in the family and be well taken care of. I'll try doing my part showing them how to maintain things, will just have to be on the next generations to repeat.
