Holy ****. I just crossed 50k a couple weeks ago when my outback went in the shop for an ugly job I wanted no part of.

152k is about when anything with a bearing in it starts to fail. How much have you had to replace?

I haven't had any failures but as a gear head, I've done a lot of maintenance...water pump, idlers, starter, alternator, clutch, brake rotors, shocks...

The fuel pump was prime for failure but the recall replaced it before it left me stranded somewhere...

As far as I can tell, the valve covers have never been off it and it's still on the original transmission. It had a 4th gen diff in it when I bought it but I've gone 8.8 since then.

72k, part of me cringes at that, another part of me is ecstatic that my 10 year old car has only 72k miles!

I have 225,000 on my 2005 v. I got it with 220,000 and have done some maintenance since then. I did the alternator (twice because I tried to go cheap the first time), water pump, radiator hoses and Creative Steel motor mounts. The PO had the transmission rebuilt and an LS7 clutch installed along with a Creative Steel short shifter. It runs like a champ and the trans shifts are short and precise with the short shifter. When I got it the motor was seriously rocking back and forth which was horribly bad motor mounts but now it's tight as a drum. The paint is very good but all the emblems are faded badly and the wheels are very curb rashed. The PO drove it 200 miles a day on his daily commute. A long drive but a fun one.

Up to 138k now on my '06. Getting ready to put another radiator in it, but otherwise everything is doing pretty damn good.

79100. I've had it almost a year, maybe 11 months now. I bought with appx 74000.
I work from my home office and don't drive much. Most of the miles come from either going to car shows/meetups with my father or vacations.

Hoping to keep it low as I intend on keeping it forever.
replace:
- rotors as they all had a big lip that caused squealing.
-revshift bushing for trans mount and shifter rail, and added the modified hurst short shifter.
Still have a bunch of side to side play.


to do:
- I believe my stock flywheel is causing vibrations at 2100rpm and will address it whenever the clutch decides to start acting up. Will be going with LS7 clutch and a lighter flywheel. Not sure if it'll be the 28lb one or 18lb. I'll likely try to address the side play with the roll pin trick I've been reading about.
-have a replacement trunk release switch for the door, mine is spotty
