700,000 plus mile C5
 
https://jalopnik.com/extremely-corve...rve-1820374377

Mark purchased this C5 Corvette brand new in 1999. Living in Florida and commuting to Georgia nearly daily, he has racked up over three quarters of a million miles of Corvette driving. That averages out to just under a thousand miles a week for 18 years. This is pretty serious mileage by anyone’s measure.

Saturday me and my wife stopped at the NCM and that vette was on display in the front by the store. It had a few rough spots but was overall in good condition.:cert:

He drove the piss out of it, which is what you're supposed to do.

If/when I buy another C5 or C6, I'll be putting a crapton of miles on it. :yesnod:

That mileage was approx 10 times what I had on my 1999 when i traded it in December. :willy:

Imagine the trade in value at the average dealer?

It's old and now worthless, with that many miles. Might as well just turn it over to me.
