Default high milleage S check it

I went through the first 10 pages, and didn't find what i was looking for.


My question goes out to those with over 100k miles.

1. how many miles do you have?
2. what problems have you had?


Reason being, I have 93k. And i'm not sure if i want to keep it or sell it. I need it as my daily driver, and have been lucky so far. What about the rest of you?

There actually is a thread on this very topic where people with over 100K replied. Damned if I can find it.

Here's one about a supercharged car with over 100K:

Thats the thread i was looking for, I remember it from a while back. But when you search for "high mileage" all you get is car for sale topics.

The guy with the supercharged S at 167k is good news though. Thanks for the link

If its been good to you so far why do you think that might change? Cars don't all of a sudden break at X miles. Keep treating it well and maintain it and I doubt you'll see any serious problems for quite a while.

93k?, It ain't even broken in yet. I've got 61k and feel I should be able to triple that without many issues.

I keep up with all maint. I do not believe that at X mileage the car will just break down. But if you don't believe that cars have wear and tear items that WILL start to wear out after time you will be disappointed with all your cars as time/miles add up.

Besides i'm not worried to much about the major problems, i just don't want little things to go wrong every month or so.
