Nice, mine turned 11 this month. I’ve only had it two years but it’s been amazing in those two years. Not a single problem. 65K here. These cars as a whole are not only very easy on the eyes but extremely well built as well.

Cost about $200 and that’s the only problem I’ve had with the car. It’s been good to me.

I'm part of the 10 year club as well. Bought it new.
The reliability has been excellent. No major or minor issues. Just consistent, basic maintenance.

I assume because these cars are pretty basic, there is no complicated thing that could break.

I may sell it soon simply to get something different. But after all this time, turning it on in the morning is noice!

Congrats on 10 years..... !!

I could never sell mine. Unless GM does a better job on the 7th gen. I'm not holding my breath though.

9 years here. Bought new in August of 2011. 153k miles on it now, but I did have to replace the engine at 122k miles

floyd haughton · 11-12-2020, 07:46 AM

congrats ive had mine for over 10 yrs still lovin it

TastyBake · 12-07-2020, 11:57 AM

It appears 10 years is nothing to these cars. Zero rust, zero weird items found on other cars like Dodge...yea I said it.

Machh5 · 12-07-2020, 01:26 PM

Mine is 6 years old 100k miles very few problems but it is very sensitive to fuel. It runs completely different using premium from different stations. At 86k I had the intake valves walnut blasted and really there wasn't enough build up to justify doing it. It didn't run any different afterwards. I only use Pennzoil Platinum and change every 4-5k. The only thing that has every gone bad is the Purge solenoid and that cost like 40 bucks to fix. Pretty darn good for a car this sporty. Only thing I'd like is if every pickup truck that comes next to me didn't want to prove something. Gets old after while choppin them down with the edge of my foot in my V6 Camaro.

joekono · 12-07-2020, 07:23 PM

All good to hear!! (I was bitching today to myself when the car hit 50k). I'm really glad they didn't mess with the lines too much because the car has a great stance. I also love the different looks and mods that have been done by everyone. Congrats on 10 years!!!

Over 11 years with my '10 SS. Still looks great and no problems after 63,000 miles.
