Default C7 100k miles

In the next few weeks I will hit 100k in my 2014 C7 and I was wondering how many are in this elite class- every C7 owner I know keeps it in the stable and not on the road! If you have +100k can you respond

I am over 117k miles on my 2015 Z51 7spd. Nothing major has broken. I did replace the thermostat and temp sensor and the AC compressor. I expect many more miles

Nowhere near that, but I average about 10k in a 6-7 month driving season. Can't even begin to understand just parking it.

I'm right behind you - around 7300 miles on my 2014.

Congrats on closing in on 100K miles. How has the reliability been on the car?

I’m about to pass 89K. I bought it with 69K 2 summers ago so I’ll be crossing 100K next year or so. Still kicking around doing spark plugs this year along with coolant and transmission drain/fill.

I just got my new to me 17 Z1 at 5002 miles last about 6 weeks ago. I have put 300 miles since. I work remote is the primary reason.

Glad to hear they can last that long. What maintenance or issues have you had?

Just over 80K on my 2014. Driving much more satisfying than garage art.

My first long trip is coming up on June 8. I am driving from Western WA state to Lexington, KY where I grew up to visit family. My one uncle has been driving Corvettes since the early 70's starting out with a 427 '67 Vert. He now has a C8 but says he misses the C7. We went to the Corvette Museum last year in his C8 and will go this time in my C7.

Congrats! I can’t get my C7s past 16k miles without a major mechanicalfailure. I don’t believe a 100k miles could be reached with an A8 C7.

I have a similar spec as you. I recently replaced the thermostat and temp sensor since my radiator fan kept kicking on when I turned off the car. It's at 69.5k miles. I have a second car, but I drive the Corvette to work most of the time. Hoping I can hit 100k without any major issues!

I have had 3 C7s, honestly two of them had a major issue at 5 and 16k miles. This 19 GS I just won’t drive more than walking distance from home. It blows my mind that you guys have gotten that many miles out of a C7.

Congratulations!

I bought my ‘16 A8 Stingray coupe two years ago with 42,000 on the odometer. Now it’s touching 69,000 due to long road trips, the last one to DC from our home in East Texas. Unfortunately, it has not been trouble free. At 59,500 the dif was replaced because of a noisy, failing bearing. At 59,700 it broke a valve spring and trashed the motor. With two long distance trips since then it’s been entirely trouble free, averaging 31.5 mpg on the DC trip. I love this car and plan on having 100k on it in a few more years.

Enjoy yours and keep racking up the miles. I admire those who keep them as ‘Garage Queens’ but driving them is where the real pleasure is!

This is what I am afraid of due to AFM.

I am quite certain the AFM will not cause a broken valve spring.
