Just wondering how many miles people have on their cars. I only drive my Grand Am in the summer and I have a motorcycle, so I only have 54,200 on mine.

I hit 50,000 a few weeks ago. It was sad. I'm closer to 52,000 now. Not high mileage by any means, but since everyone is posting...

320,000 says it explodes

My brothers cav has 380, 000 with only a head gasket done, and shes running perfect. These engine are as bullet proof as the 3.1/3.4.

SpyhunteR

10-06-2006, 09:36 PM

i had a friend with an old cavalier with some v6 motor... it was retarded at around 425000 miles.. yeah it somehow managed to survive that long, it shot a piston through the head and out the hood... then everything else blew up too... he was on a cross country trip from san fran to somewhere in new hampshire.

H.O. Driver

10-06-2006, 11:54 PM

99 - 98k Lots of hard miles, probably some 200-250 passes down the 1320.

archillasvante

10-07-2006, 02:52 PM

roughly 110k

Woody87

10-08-2006, 10:01 PM

just started delivering pizza w/ my GA about 5 weeks ago...got about 82k on her right now. the plan is to save up and buy an old Cavi or something that can get beat up and rack up miles while preserving my baby.

DrFabulous

10-09-2006, 01:24 PM

01 with 82k.... last year and some I've averaged almost 20k/year. Only 1 cross country trip.... it's the 100+ miles/day for school/work that kill it. I don't even have enough dowtime with it to change the wheels lol

gagt88

10-24-2006, 01:50 PM

Im going for the fastest-highest mileage grand am HAHA.

GaRedCoupe

AznGA

11-27-2006, 10:35 PM

02 GA GT bought new with 4 miles.
Now it has 108k miles, still running strong.
Back in the old days, I used to cruise around a lot with my fellow GA buddies. But those good old days are over. Now, I only drive when I need to go somewhere.

ihatemygrandamg

11-27-2006, 11:12 PM

132k, and can still run 14's down the track

Hodge

11-27-2006, 11:45 PM

43,000 for a 2000 SE 2.4L

rocketfast123

12-05-2006, 03:53 AM

73k got it in 2002 with 32k.

I think our Malibu would win in low miles and most problems.
1997 3100 with 65k.

Any thing that could have went wrong did.

gagt2k3

12-08-2006, 09:16 PM

IIRC back in july when i drove joe's (garagegoblin) car he had ~160,000.

Yeah his 2001 grand am gt finally died at 203,000+ with a cracked block and only 1 LIM replace over that time....

That has to hold the record for the 99+ grand ams. 2001 w/ 203,000 miles

My 2003 has 81,000 miles...

Devo

12-08-2006, 09:29 PM

Just saw this post so i guess ill add mine. 03 GT with 110,000K

99blackSE

12-10-2006, 08:23 PM

~80,000 miles on a '99 LA1, some of them rough.

This car has treated me nicely.

nascarnate326

12-10-2006, 09:06 PM

Broke 131k in my Z-24 Cavalier today. I think my system's killing my alternator though. Its getting noisey, though it could be the 9 years of michigan cold.

timberwoof

12-11-2006, 01:11 AM

2004 GASE bought as demo with 20k in Jan '05 Now has 76K.
I love traveling...

My other truck, has 254k, but its a 1970 Ford F250

Braves299

12-11-2006, 11:20 AM

I have 149,000 on mine. It would have been much more if I hadn't bought my Trailblazer a year and a half ago.

My GA still runs fine with the exception of it missing when I accelerate. I think I need to replace the UIM gaskets.

I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. I still love it :)

Skullrot

12-24-2006, 03:53 PM

Well, I think I have the lowest..... 2000 GT with 33.5K

digitalballz

12-24-2006, 04:38 PM

Well my TA has just over 8k on the clock, while the 93 subaru impreza has 183,000 on the odo!

cmtapanes

12-24-2006, 05:36 PM

As of today my 1999 GA/SE has run 181,089 and still running strong.

Sleepwalkr

12-24-2006, 06:56 PM

2000 GAGT with almost 104k miles on it.

Still runs as beautiful as the day I bought it new with 8 miles on it. Never had a tune-up, changed the fuel filter or any of that other crap that you should do. One big reason why I don't buy all the domestic-hater crap that spews out of their mouths.

GrandAmGT1996

12-24-2006, 10:41 PM

GA- 144K (as already stated) Not many will be put on it without a differential. $400 takes it :)
Celica- 162K

BlackAttackGA

01-13-2007, 02:54 AM

70K on my '99 GA. Bought it used in 2003 with about 35K on it.

01-14-2007, 01:56 AM

My 2001 GASE just rolled 79,00 miles.

My friends 1988 BMW has 495000 miles on it and still going strong.

XMBlackGT1

01-20-2007, 06:53 PM

Rolled my friends 99 SE2 over 198,000 last night on the way to a party. She's only had to replace the LIM 2 times and the sunroof motor once. The car is in mint condition. She plans on keeping it for another few years.

01-21-2007, 05:00 PM

I got 141k on my 01 and about to mod the heck out of it. Runs like a charm and has had the LIM replaced once at 138k. Of course it needs some TLC with just replacing the worn out stuff but nonetheless runs great.

krisaubuchon

01-05-2009, 08:17 AM

Haha, you guys are all lightweights - 180k on my 2000GAGT, still runs amazing - but I have a feeling the transmission is just randomly going to go on me one of these days.

CantBeatIt96

01-05-2009, 08:28 AM

im pushing ~162K in my 96, but has a new motor with ~85K it ws out of an achieva that was all garage kept and never really ran. (they pulled it out after about 6 months of sitting there to drive it to the store and they were "T" bones in the rear and totalled. atleast it was very well taken care of, they said it was started and left running 3 times a week that way the motor didnt go to bad.)(they said they took it to the local GM dealership for every and all repairs and fluid changes. lol. pathetic.)

Braves299

01-05-2009, 11:09 AM

silverbullet51

01-05-2009, 09:47 PM

just over 130k on an 01. Runs better now than it did when I got it in June 06. Don't get me started on what I fixed and needs fixing; the car gets me to work every day. No bling to make note of.

On a side note, I had a '93 Bonneville with almost 250k till the rear axle broke (my stepmom was driving it when it happened. Apart from some rust and age, it ran like a champ. Can anybody beat that?

CantBeatIt96

01-05-2009, 09:51 PM

My moms jeep had 315K on it when we gave it to a family friend 6 years ago and hes still driving it, i think he said it has about 400K on it now, had to have the head gasket replace but it has a striaght 6 in it, so it can handle alot. that jeep was the only jeep i ever heard of that ever hit that high and still runs great.
