134,000 miles on the car, 142,000 miles on the trans, and 37,000 miles on the 6 speed swap. still runnin like a champ =)
2004 Base Vibe, 134,000 on the clock and still tickin'
born automatic, NOT ANYMORE!!! it's a 6 speed now!!
its gonna be a mean vibe someday, to about the tune of 350-400 whp
Turned 299,999 kms in November (stuck there now, apparently vibe (&matrix) odometers don't turn over to 300,000), so I close as I can caluculate - I'm at around 302,000kms (187,600 miles). Waiting to hear from GM if they are doing anything to rectify this. It's a hassle, I plan to put at least another 100,00kms on it! The care has been stellar up till about 250,000 when airbag light (recalls?), engine light (cat converter?), and wheel bearings all have had to be addressed.
144,400+ on my perky little 2004 Lava with no issues
except normal maintenance... I bought him in January 2005
brand new.. Can't believe he say on the lot for months and no one wanted him, he's the
best car I have ever owned by far!!!!
63 oil changes at 5000k + the 300 000k od cut off.
5000 times 63 = 315 000 + 300 000 = 615 000k
So I got 615 000 and she still runs like a dream.
I can still down shift and red line with no issues and I really drive this car.

That is quite impressive for a nine year old Vibe Just over 400,000 miles & counting. Need pics of this black beauty ......................
Only had to replace a right wheel bearing and tie rods on the right side due to sliding into a curb when someone pulled out in front of me in a parking lot.
Rest has been normal maintenance that I do myself.
Valvoline 5w-30 non synthetic and a purolator filter every 6K, nkg iridium plugs at 100K, air filter every 20,000 and cabin filter every 50k. Brake pads every 50K or so and rotors were swapped out at 100K. Michelin hydroedge at 50K and they last me until 135K when I put michelin defenders on. Would have went longer but sidewalls dryrotted.
Hey guys....I just hit 200,000 Kms (~125,000 miles) on my '03 base. Still going strong too! It makes a little more noise than usual these days, a few knicks/dents in it, the drivers seat has lost some of its stiffness, and a few dash/radio lights are kaput. But that's really it. Looking forward to the next 100K Kms!

WOW I thought mine was low at just over 17k miles! Hopefully you're not on the original oil. I got reprimanded by a few members here for going 2-1/2 years between oil changes at my last oil change At your rate you'll never need to buy another car again!
Just took it to the dealer to get the oil changed and they could not find a single thing wrong with it. Original battery and still 80% left on the original brake pads. Even the maintenance stuff is still fine. Also does not use a single drop of oil, although I have NOT changed over to synthetic.
Just passed 206,000 miles on my 09 GT. Still running great! Just had it inspected (state vehicle inspection laws) and it got a new fog light and new spark plugs. There's apparently a tiny leak in one of the oil gaskets that I will have fixed in a few months when I can pay off current repair bills! I will also have the coolant flushed. Hoping to keep on keeping on with this puppy indefinitely! Averaging about 28 MPGs with 80% highway/20% city.
Just turned 75K. My Vibe has 33K when I bought it used. So far I've just replaced the normal stuff.....new tires around 50K and new front & back brakes last month and nothing else other than oil changes every 3000-4000 miles. Great little dependable car.
170,000 & still runnung great. Now that I changed the HVAC damper motor, no more clicky. Upgraded radio & im very happy. Still getting 28MPG with the AC on

93k here. Went to the Toyota dealer the other day and the parts guy said I should go look at a new one but this one will probably last another 10 years.

My 2003 Vibe (Base, auto) has 265,800 miles on it. I just replaced the front and rear struts, front bearings and boots. I replaced them at 140k, too.
Other than that, my maintenance items have been minimal: 4 sets of tires. 1 battery. About 5 headlamp replacements (I stopped counting). 1 foglamp replaced (a rock hit it on the freeway). Catalytic converter and brakes at 220k.
Yes. It's true. I had one set of brakes for 220k. I don't stop very much, apparently.
Repairs? Almost none. The HVAC motor burned out at around 200k, and I had to have the air conditioning condenser drain unclogged at around 40k which was covered under the warranty. That's it.
Naturally, I maintain it. I get the oil changed, and get it checked over at least twice a year to make sure nothing is going wrong. If anything mechanical shows wear, I replace it immediately.
