03 G35 Sedan w/ 140,586
03 with 75k miles
My dad is still driving his late 80's Toyota 4runner with over 220k miles. That engine just keeps going and going. My dad refuses to give that car up.
Edit: Sorry, meant to post this in the other thread about high mileage G's.

wtf?
Whats with all the amazement? I would expect a car with this price tag to go at least a 1/4 million miles. If Ford & Chevy can make a cast iron, push rodded, normally aspirated dinosaur do it with ease why the hell can't a company with somewhat more sophistocation(at least thats what they advertise)? If my G doesn't last at least 150K with no major issues I'm going back toyota or back to a prehistoric 350 chevy. My Toyota Tacoma never saw a dealership or any other maintenance other than scheduled and I put 178K on it with ZERO issues. I've already had more creaks, groans, silly plastic interior issues, cheesy exterior paint and so on issues with my 05 G than I ever had with other cars and I've only put 5K miles on it since purchase. It damn well better go the distance!!!!!!!!!!
I have over 120k pulls harder today then ever.. just starting to tune now prolly gonna do a rebuild this summer...do have one creek tho and a slight pull cant get the alignment complete perfect must have hit a pot hole to hard not sure if its worth fixing its out so slight can only notice it over 90-95
Im lookin for a new exhaust system from headers to cats whats the best easyish bolt up for my g sedan

I do agree honda motors are more reliable than nissans. I can bet my life on that one, but I did here about the 5AT recall. I know the nissan 5AT is pretty close to bullet proof. Granted I only have 30k on a 04.5. But I can beat you all. I took a 1993 lexus es300 to 330k no joke. I had to replace the tranny once and the head gaskets once. But i swear the thing was a workhorse. Obviously it was starting to fall apart but jesus everyone was so impressed. I sold it to a guy who lives in my complext for 1500 bucks and he says he takes it to downtown LA from orange county every day and it hasn't broken down. It has 360k now.... WOW... I love my G but Toyota is just the **** for reliability!
OK lets talk depreciation, 11 months old and my G has 45k, yes 45k. It ought to last 300k+, my 2000 outback limited sedan went 298K before I shipped it off to Mexico for $2500-, and odly enough the original radiator did not last much more than 2 1/2-3 years(140K) either. I could have drove it another 100k I am sure and it never had major issues just maintainance. I got so sick of driving it. I am planning on 300K ought of my G, I will keep you posted.
