I bought the car on January 4, 2005 with 28,899 miles. As of tonight, I have 47,1xx.

 

alright i consider myself to drive an average amount... i got an 04 in may of 04 and it has 18,400 miles on it. I doubt that I will personally hit 100k in this car. I will be in college for the next 6 years (probably have the car that amount of time) and at school i probably wont drive the car that much. My sister has an 04 g35 thats a month older than mine with 4k miles on it or something... and thats all from driving home from school and back.. she doesnt put miles on it at school.

 

At 100k you’re suppose to replace a bunch of crap (belts and spark plugs among other things). It’s in the manual... You will also probably run into replacing things like alternators and etc as they go bad. These are parts that are only made to go 100k, but the engine itself should go past 200k. I would just hope at 100k you wouldn't have a car payment to deal with, so repairs wouldn't hurt that much beyond the inconvenience. Once you get through the first round of repairs the car should be able to go another 100k. My car is at 30k miles and part of me wouldn't mind driving it well over 100k and the other part would like to offload it before 60k miles

 

Properly maintained, a VQ engine will last for 200K-300K miles without needing a rebuild, and the rest of the car should hold up well for quite a while as well with moderate periodic maintenance. I don't expect you'll "need" to replace it for several years. It's all a matter of when you want to replace it.

 

8,500 miles and counting

 

I bought my G35 '03 with 10,850 Feb 6, 2006... Now I have 11,700 miles....

 

My 05 will be a year old in a couple of weeks, 10,500 miles.

 

I used to worry a little about how many miles i put on the car but after all these great new cars are coming out, i can't wait to put 100k miles so i can get a new one

 

I'm at 68k and I've had my 2003 almost right when they came off the production line. Living in California will definitely put some miles on your car.

 

some of you drive farrrr too much

 

Sometimes you have to drive that far to get to work and back; it adds up very quickly. For those of those of you reaching 100K miles, have you noticed any decrease in performance or smoothness in the driving? Any significant wearing on the engine? If you were to install a TT on the car, do you think it'd still last 200K miles? (conservative driving, of course... being able to push it once in a while, but not redlining 80 percent of the time).

 

My G was new April 2003.. sitting under a car cover with 30K on the odo. Driving my winter car 6mo of the year really helps save the miles.
