It has been his experience that the 1ZZFE engine begins to consume oil around the 150000 mile mark.

Flipped 30k while the site was down. Haven't filled up since, so I can't be much past... For the past two years I have had a company van, so I don't put many miles on the Vibe.

144k on the 03 base, runs like new. Bought her with 143k last week. Love this car! Now I just gotta find a 6-speed GT for myself. Maybe a Matrix so we're not too matchy.

2004 Vibe with 61,000 miles. Running great! No major work. Only had to replace the windshield so far after a giant rock, flipped up by a semi in front of me, broke it.

Our 04 GT has 37k miles on it now, bought it with 34,900 a little over a month ago. A local cab co is using Vibes for Taxis here in Wichita. He sold one earlier this year with 269K on it and knew another Vibe owner with over 500k on hers.

It was a large something, maybe a rock or large chunk of concrete as there had been a passing cement mixer. It was spinning and flying straight toward me. There were a lot of cars all around, so nothing I could do to dodge it. It was traumatic. 31,777 miles

Being another mileage monster, I've been curious about him.My '04 is just shy of 356,000 miles. I guess that would be about 573,000 kilometers?Quote, originally posted by joatmon »Today's milestoneCONGRATS, Joatmon!

I just went past 115,000 miles! It just shows that if you take really good care of something, it stays nice. People are always amazed when they find out what year and how many miles are on it lol. Even the paint is in beautiful condition, due to my ocd style of waxing every other month.
