What Kind of Mileage Does Everyone Have?

I just thought it would be fun to see what kind of mileage everyone has on their 3rd gens. I got 180000, and lookin for more. Why dont you guys add in whether or not it was worth it money-wise.

128,000 on this car.
101,000 on my old black one.
I am not sure how many miles are on the tranny, however many were on Jeff's old car plus a thousand or two.

227,xxx miles. All original excluding the regulars (alternator, injectors, I.C.E., fluids, lol) Tranny is in the process of getting fixed since it was "slipping" but hey for 227k miles who can argue with the tranny to go bad. Atleast ist's not in the summer time when I am going to college in SC. I think this car is worth every penny.

These maxima's are about dedication. We feel dedicated enough to them to make them into better sport cars. Some have even done the best thing ever to their maxima's. And that is turbo it out. I am definately looking to spending a few more thousand into this car and that is not even considering that it's about to become a classic. Meaning cheaper insurance, if you get my drift. LOL.

hell yeah i get your drift, and i am dedicated to my car, i take good care of it and do my best to keep it in shape. the owner before me took real bad care of it, as of now, the interrior looks like its been raided by Hitler, all the material including roof, and sides, the dashboard vinyl, all looks like crap. ive been recently broken into and had my stereo stolen, and the ***** who stole it cut some wires in my dashboard. its going to be a lot of work, i just dont know if a 150K engine still remind of itself even when i get it rebuilt.

Hehehehe! So I guess that makes mine a baby ...Just rolled over the 100k mark. So it has 44k miles less than what would be considered "average" for the year.

Runs like a champ! About to do a comprehensive tune-up.

Around 113k, my odometer is 11,000 miles too high since I swapped the whole gauge cluster with a white SE one.

You can swap out the odometer so it's correct . Not that big of a deal though, most states have a 10 year thing, anything over 10 years and mileage isn't tracked anymore, etc.

142k original engine, original tranny, probably not original clutch. Needs windshield wiper mechanism rebuilt, struts and shocks, control arms, has intermittent electrical problems with radio and power locks, occasional and brief VTC tick. Some dents and dings, severely faded spoiler, and a couple of rust bubbles. Perfect interior! Paid $1800, so not a bad deal for a strong runner. Still shiny.

I have about 127,500 miles on mine and it runs great and begs for more, just like my Z it had over 130,000 on it and could easily double it. Nissan makes a damn good car that last for ever as long as you take good care of it. As any car, but Nissans are the best. These cars are definately built to last im sure everyone can agree on this. You can't go wrong with a Nissan, unless you bought it from a previous owner who neglected it. Show your car love and it'll show it right back to you.

My has 104,867 miles on mine and almost to 105 marks,

it needs a tune-up,

but everything is stock and original, and still running strong and like a machine,

ye these cars are built to last,

my family has another car that we bought from nissan and is a minivan,

and the name is nissan quest,

it has the vg engine like our cars but got modified to not have problems when the timing belt breaks,

and it has 237,879 miles on it and run like new when we first bought the car 10 years ago,

Man, I'm almost exactly around yours with 182xxx, same with just putting a new tranny about 5 months ago too haha ( ). I have replaced eveything on it except the engine which has been running flawlessly and I know has many miles left on it. I'm still going to mod cuz I just love my car and coud't ever think of having anything else

Well, I think I've won the battle for the youngest one here ... my 91 GXE just rolled over 86K yesterday! I've had it a year and a half, but before that, it was an old lady that drove it to and from work. All original engine, tranny, etc.
