I took the opportunity to replace clutch kit and master cylinder while I was at it. The car is bone stock and on the next oil change I will be swapping the gear oil on the differential and replacing spark plugs. Belt still looks good.

I am currently debating on keeping the car for another couple of years or selling it and buying a new 2015 ride with warranty for piece of mind. For those of you who have driven the car from 100k miles onwards please chime in and let me know what issues, if any, you have had. I'd love to keep the car if repair costs can be minimized to maintenance items only. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Z's reliability.
Thanks in advance.

As a few guys have mentioned, i'm well over 100k miles. rolled 225k the other day. Since the last CSC about 45-50k miles ago no other problems. Still on original starter, Alt. Hell i'm still on the original battery! LOL Other then the CSC there hasn't been anything other then the regular maintenance time stuff. With my next oil change i'll be doing a oil sample for blackstone, forgot with the last change, but I don't for see any problems there either. As long as you keep up on the normal maintenance you should be good.

Things I would do now if I was planning to keep the car another year...suspension, it's a little sacked out at this point. As well replace the rad...mine has taken a beating, not sure how much air really gets through it now, but that's due to hitting a LOT of bugs. lol

Oh and paint! winter driving in Canada has taken a bit of a toll on the car.

If you have any questions, just pm me.
