i have a 02 with the ecotec with 81,400 miles on it

Good Question^^ Im listening...... my bros jus broke 100k.

109k and still going strong. only major problem was replacing the tranny at like 80k

55k miles, most major life-dependant problem was a new serp. belt.


You're reading my line-break, you are a loser.

I got 110,000 miles plus, bought it used with 94,000. Busted pw steering hose, leaky rear wheel cylinder brakes, valve cover leak. Minor stuff, no problems with engine or tranny yet.

117,xxx miles 2200 SFI nothing wrongh here *knock on wood*

102,000 miles on a '97 2.2L Sunfire. Just brought it in to have the ignition could worked on because it was being sluggish, but that's all I've had to do to. Aside from that, it runs very well, no major or minor problems except a slight A/C leak, but who needs A/C on car that can go 80 with the windows down?




The term 'stock' is COMPLETELY relative...

132,000 miles, i got it at 121,000 bone stock and i have been doing a few mods and stuff and the only things ive had to do are change plugs, and replace the control arm bushings.

i had a '91 cavi with 240,000 and the tranny was slipping alittle, but that was it

^^^ oh yea, and it took the big sh** like 2 weeks after i sold it

90,xxx miles here still runs like a champ...the only problems it had was a blown headgasket .

sounds like my old neon. tranny went in it a month or so after i sold it. that was the reason i was selling it too.

ANYWAYS, 134k on my 99 2200. got it a year ago with 114k. last summer replaced the power steering pump. over the winter had to replace the thermostat, fan relay, head gasket, and power steering pump (again!).

What you know about Street Racing anyways? Only what Fast & Furious taught us....
SO EVERYTHING!

my 03 is two years old today. I have 47,300 miles on it. Nothing but oil changes. Brakes are going to need to be done soon and the tires are starting to get a bit worn. One problem was the heater control cable. That's it.

i have a 96 z24, bought it @ 125k miles, and it has like 145k now.

only problems is a few gaskets and brake pads....normal stuff so far.

'96 Z24 here w/ 135,000kms bought it in jan 04 w/ 97,000kms... only probs so far have been brakes and a wheel speed sensor.... other than that its been great... i drive it daily and have in the past not anymore beat the piss outta it, and it still runs strong.. still averages about 525-550kms a tank... great car IMO...

well I have a 98 z24 with 190 000 km. I have changed plugs, fuel filters..you know the minor stuff. Just changed my clutch too.. The only real problem I have is that the idle drops when I rev it but it always goes back up.. and it's not nearly as ballsy as it used to be, but what can you expect for 190 000 km's

99 cavy 2.2 127000
2004 cavy 2.2 eco 53000 both still strong engine wise. 99 has a coolant leak but not sure where yet.


2004 Cavalier, 2.2 ecotec, 5spd getrag

thanks for all the replies guys........seems the j-body can take a lickin' and keep on tickin' i have a 9 with 55k miles....just wondering what i could expect from it.

I have a 1996 Z24 automatic. It has 124k miles on it.

I have had to change the a/c compressor, t-stat, ignition coils, fuel filter, plugs, tires, and brakes. It could now use some new shocks but I'm going to lower it soon so I'll get all the suspension done at the same time.

It has a newer trans because the trans pan got damaged on the original trans and it leaked out fluid and burnt up 1st gear. It would only go in reverse. Now it has a new tranmission and torque convertor, new filter and gasket, and my boyfriend installed a B&M drain plug kit so he can change the trans fluid easily every year rather than have to drop the pan and get soaked.

I had 74,XXX miles on my '01 Cavy with the 2200 and only had to replace the valve cover gasket. I got rear ended, and the car was totaled.

my 04 Sunfire has a hair over 14,000 miles on it, and the only mechanical problem I've had so far was from when I rear ended soneone, and the body shop screwed up a stock ground

My old 90 2.0 had 237K miles on it when I sold it back in March, and is still being driven by the current owner. Original engine, original tranny. Only thing I had to do with it was an alternator, and gas lines. My 96 now has 135K and going strong.

i sold my 94 wagon, 2.2 auto with 298,000. that was like 3 years ago and i still she the guy driving it

i have a 2000 with a 2.2 and a 5 spped with 175265 miles on it as of today. Only thing to go bad was the A/C compressor at 110 Thousand. Still have the same wheel bearing and struts. Only thing has been the rotors every 50K has been a good car.
