how long will our G last?

I have a 06 coupe with only 18000 miles, and Im about to invest into my G and planing to drive it until it stops moving...

in general, how many mile should I expect from her before she comes up with major problem, for exp something like change transmission, motor, or other major problem..

I will try to take care her nice, u kno, best fuel, all schedule maintenance, etc.

so in your opinion, knowledge, or experience. generally how many mile will she run?

Dude you only have 18,xxx miles lol calm down! As long as you keep up with maintenance and oil changes etc the engine should last over 150,xxx miles +.


I believe there's a g sedan or coupe with over 150,/175,xxx miles.

the car is not really old enough to be able to answer this, as few people drive enough to have driven their car into the ground yet...

Do oil changes at no more than 5k intervals, keep up with preventative maintenance, and if you're lucky and don't have an oil consumption engine, you'll make it past 120k.

Nissan makes their vehicles to last, I sold my last Z with 125K miles on the clock 5 years ago and I see her on the street every once in a while so she's still going strong. I did follow Nissan's maintenance schedule to the letter for things like timing chains and changed my oil every 3500 miles with Mobil 1 and their filters. That's why I bought my G cause it's dependable along with looking and driving great....

I dont get why people say theyre gonna keep their cars til the wheels fall off.... who wants a 10 or 15+ year old car when you can get a newer one that looks better and has better technology?

Not having a car payment is a big advantage. I was going to sell my G and get a BMW in two years when I graduated dental school, but more likely I'm going to go back to stock, and drive it until it falls apart.
