100K MP5 Club

[BrockWalls]

Mine has 207100KM, so like 128,000 miles. Original clutch, motor, and timing belt. Idles at about 1100, though.

You're nearly 40,000 km overdue on the timing belt... Be careful.

181k, as far as I know everything is original. Car runs great, its my dd for a 120 mile commute round trip. Getting ready to do a timing belt and brakes all around shortly.

 

[FunkyMidnightP5]

215K miles, and still running strong. Needs some love but still averaging 30mpg.

 

[rustyrelic]

2003 p5 auto 320k stock engine still running well...just change oil and filter every 5k

I can't take all the credit for my millage but I got 230,000 on my p5. She's still pushing hard to!

About to roll over 169-170k miles on original engine (swapped trans for 626, highly recommend). The old girl's tired but she's going. Burning/leaking a bunch of oil so there's going to be a rebuild or KL swap in her future as long as I keep the shell rust free... And as long as I keep it.

 

[justin1194]

on my 3rd JDM motor. 80k on motor, 240k on manual trans

210k and climbing quickly here. I commute about 110 miles each way to work (a little over 1k per week), average 33-35 mpg. Original everything, no check engine lights and the only rust is a little surface rust on the sides of the roof from where the previous owner had a bike rack attached to the roof rack and it chipped the paint a little. It's kind of beat up from previous owner (high school girl, need i say more) but for a $2k car i can't complain.

Bought it last year at almost 170k. Had to replace a vacuum valve for a check engine light when i bought it ($40) for idle tumbler something or another... Didn't seem to affect anything but i don't like the light being on. The timing belt broke at about 195k so spent an afternoon replacing that, but otherwise has been a good car. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and drive it anywhere.

300k miles on mine every thing is original except the short air intake and 1 brake caliper.

 

[LKWJeeper]

138k on mine which is a 02. I have no idea on what was replaced during that time. I just purchased it last week.

Since purchase I swapped the air filter, plugs, battery and put in a new stereo. The previous alpine unit was only playing through the right speakers. The one I added was $20 at Walmart and has the radio and Bluetooth. I love this vehicle and it seems to be in decent shape.

I bought it to keep miles off my 2016 Wrangler unlimited.

I'm almost to 210k on my 2002 P5. It's tired, it's rusty, but I love it. I just bought a 2003 P5 from a salvage yard that a friend works at. It has some damage to the driver's side front fender area, broken bumper cover, headlight and foglight. All repairable. The best part is that it only had 42k original miles. It starts easily and is as smooth as a sewing machine. My dilemma is that I drive a 5-speed, and the 2003 is an automatic. I love the manual transmission, but the new car's body is clean and rust free, with the exception of the crash damage.

What would you do? Fix the crash damage and drive a car with only 42k miles? Or swap motors?

 

[Jackie chan]

I'd swap the bumper, light, fogs, fender and tranny into the new car.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

My car was daily driver for quite awhile up until 2009 and was right around 90k.......fast forward to today. It rarely gets driven, just enough to keep alive and enjoy break from driving the truck. Mostly an around the neighborhood errand thing garage queen. Not even on 96k. Might take another 5 yrs to get to 100k. Funny doing oil changes based on time instead of mileage. And no, mods and projects haven't stopped, just no 60 mile commuting on any daily basis and only in nice weather.

 

[323]

don't you start feeling bad for it just sitting there? lol.

No. You get used to it. I've got 5 cars that rarely get driven. My cobra has less than 5000 miles in six years.

That said my p5 is closing in on 200k

 

[NaturalFlavored]

Shouldn't we make a 200k or 300k thread?
I'm nearing 165k
