Default Who has highest mileage? Any issues?

Greetings all,

Who has really high miles on their GT? Any issues? Any additional maintenance, other than routine?

I'm sure someone will quickly beat me, but my 07 has 68k on the clock and no issues as of yet. Just regular oil changes so far. My '00 V6 had 120k on the clock when I sold it. No problems with it either.

Someone recently posted they had over 150,000 miles. Try the search feature.

IMO, you bought a Ford (or most any domestic) and not a Toyota (or most any foreign). Yeah, you'll get the occasional domestic that'll go over 200,000 miles with FEW problems but your typical Toyota will do that easy with fewer problems. I've had 6 Toyotas and the worst of those outdid the best of my previous 5 domestics. Here comes the flaming...

I've got a whopping 2,600 on my 07. Probably not the highest, but a got a good shot at the lowest.

I have a little over 36000 on my 2007 GT, I bought it new on November 15, 2007. I have had a couple problems with it, such as having to have the transmission dropped twice to have the synchros replaced. The first time was for 3rd gear and the second time was for 2nd gear. After they fixed that i haven't had a single problem with it. Ive also had some rattles, but i either take care of them myself or just ignore them. Overall my car has been trouble free.

The OP was asking about "...really high miles..." so it surprises me when people with anything below 100,000 miles (which is still not high mileage in my book but evidence that you MIGHT eventually get there) chime in. "High mileage" is subjective, I guess.

I've got 26,000 miles on my 08 GT, besides my 3rd gear synchros that need to be replaced I've had no issues.

I turned over 99,000 miles yesterday on my '07 GT Convertable Manual (picked up April of '07 w/300 mi.). To date I have replaced the battery and tires, regular maintenance every 5,000 mi. at the dealer where I bought it.

It is all highway mileage at 75-80 mph, I my office is 65 miles each way plus trips to project sites.

I am not looking forward to writting the check for the 100,000 mile service.

I had 110k miles on mine before I just had the motor stroked and forged & bored 20 over. Turns out I had a bent valve. I heard a noise and that's what sold me to finally get the motor built. Everything else inside was immaculate I was told by my builder.

edit: it's an '05 gt by the way.
