How long will they run until they start running differently from the first 20k miles?

 

Not sure that it helps much, but I have almost 35k on a 2001... There are a lot of people that put a lot of mileage on their rides. Stop worrying about it and enjoy. The engines seem to run well long into their life

 

The engine, it seems, will last a whole lot longer than the:

-paint
-glass
-brake rotors
-shocks
-MAF (on some)
-???

 

LOL, I just put 10,000 miles on mine in 3 months. now at 62k. Still runs like a champ. just going to get gazillion paint chips done at a body shop.

 

Don't worry, it'll last. Only problems I've had up to 71,000 on my 2000 is the auto tranny recalls/bulletins (And it's still not right), it needs the bulletin to flash the computer for the check engine light, and the paint is, well, you guys know. But the car's still going strong, I expect to have over 100k on it next year by now and it better still be running!

 

Dang you guys drive alot! I've only got a whopping 29,567miles on my baby.

 

Damn! I got 67,000 miles on my Max and its still Blazin.

 

i have 26k on my 2k2!!! whoops

will

 

Im at 78k and the only thing that has gone wrong is that the ECU needed to up updated. The car ran fine but the SES light would come on with a code that my cat was bad. After a software upgrade the light is gone.

I am very happy thus far with the reliability of the car. I change the oil every 3k and use 93 octane gas. I do have a 5 spd so there have been no tranny woes. I do think that the clutch will need to be replaced eventually. Also, shocks and struts will be done in the spring. I just have to figure out which combo to go with.

I just put a new set of Dunlop Sport A2 tires on and they are awesome. Compliments the car greatly.

BTW, I have a 2000 SE

 

I assume you had to pay for that software flash? They're giving me a hard time - I understand it's out of warranty and TSB are only to help the mechanics, but still, it's a KNOWN Nissan defect. Man, if I owned a car company. . . You guys would ALL be buying from me!

 

I have 43,000 on my 2k1...and 15,000 on my 2k2. Don't sweat it. "Enjoy the ride.".

 

75k miles and no problems that i haven't created myself.

 

46k on my 2k1 bought in October 17,2000

 

Im barely at 19,600 and its a 2000

 

I didnt have to pay for it..Im friends with one of the mechanics at the dealership. Definately push the TSB issue.

 

80,0000 miles on my 2000 5sp and it feels faster and smoother than day 1, moble 1 full synthetic, and clean the throttle body, and yours will too.
