Has anyone else built up a lot of miles on their car? - Page 3

9500 miles after (close) 1 year of ownership. I have a commuter car for work to save on gas, but drive the Camaro when I can

. These cars were meant to be driven and enjoyed. 35k miles is a lot of fun times had OP

It's bad if you are hoping to re-sell it for a good amount. But you likely didn't buy it for that reason as with that kind of mileage you had to know that your re-sale price would be horrible.

Tell us how the car has held up.

Picked up in September, 28,600 miles and counting

November 2015 - 26,866. Sometimes I hate putting so much mileage on it, but now that it is no longer a daily driver I miss it lol

I'll have mine a year on 6/6, and I will turn 42000 miles on it tomorrow morning on my 50 mile drive to work.

Drive it. It's what you bought it for, right?

The only issue I had with my car was the infotainment would freeze randomly during the day. Got it fixed though. It's mainly been maintenance, but I'm glad I haven't had a major issue.

Welll I'm 18 years old, so selling my car hasn't been on my mind. She'll be with me for awhile forsure

She's held up great though! Like i said in my previous comment, only issues involved dealt with the infotainment system. I did have a clicking noise coming from the front left fender area earlier this month. I took it to the dealer, and it took them two days for them to find out where the noise was coming from. It ended up having something to do with the brake. I forgot what they did, but it hasn't made the clicking sound since then.

Well, it comes down to one of two paths

1. Drive it and get your money's worth out of it
2. Keep it pristine and show it off, and save the miles for the second owner.

Neither one is bad.

That's serious miles for 8 months. To answer your question, yes if you're trying to preserve the value and no if you are enjoying yourself driving it.

I've got about 9200 and I got mine November 1st. I'd have a lot more if I didnt work out of town half the year so I don't drive her but on the weekends. I bought mine to drive personally

Wiskey · 05-14-2017, 09:25 PM

I'm nowhere near where some of the people here are, but my 2016 has 25,000 on it.

I love it! I have a long commute, and I love the fact that even when I'm driving hard I still get 20mpg. When I'm crusing it's closer to 26 with a V6. I've never had a more fun commuter!
