Highest Mileage Aveo (how many miles / km on yours now?)
So in thinking I might keep my Aveo till it cant be driven anymore. Or its just to broken down.
I'm wondering what mileage it could make it too.
Who's the current Mileage king? Anyone at 130K ? anyone make 150K yet?
Will anyone make 250k on the same engine?

Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
with proper maintenance i dont see why the engine couldn't make it to 300k...
i would think it is the rest of the car that would start getting expensive.
you would eventually need to start replacing rubber things, like hoses, suspension bushing, brake lines, etc.
but i guess that would be determined in how long it takes you to get to that kind of mileage.
i dont think GM has allowed a car to be produced to last that kind of mileage with their quality control.

Or you could move to the desert where you can replace this stuff much sooner. At a little over 70k, I have done one front control arm bushing, the other side needs to be replaced as of last week, the valve cover breather line is cracking, the rest of the bushings started out crappy so really, whats the difference.

Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
Oh yes, singapore is a poker diamond shape, abt 20+KM north to south and 40+KM east to west. The furthest single trip is abt 40km plus minus from any point to another point.

My experience personally has been magnificent. At 91000 miles I changed the timing belt, water pump, idler pulley and tensioner. Not a hitch yet. Mines an 04.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
Whenever I worry that I'm at 63k miles on the original timing belt, I just think of your car, and relax,lol. I should have the new one on by tomorrow night.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
you should also consider time in the factor of replacement, time erode the belt material almost as much as physical wear from the engine running. Plus how many heat up and cool down cycles you have, running and shutting off the car.
So if you took a brand new car and drove it 200k in a year, the timing belt might not fail, just as a car with 20k in 10 years the timing belt might fail.

Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
Hey Pet, I was thinking that.
But I also thought, some of those reported early failures were on 2004's that were only 3 years old.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
Pet sounds so degrading :lol: J/K
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
Hey just one vowel away from Pat. lol.
So now I have the kit in hand, and want to go instal it, but now I want a new water pump.
So I'll have to wait to install everything still.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
Pat would be even more degrading, if you ask me.
:P
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
2007 with close to 70,000 on it. I drive more than you'd care to know. I plan to sell it by end of 09 or early 2010.

In relate to the old SNL skit...'pat' I can see how that would feel that way, lol.
No doubt.
Will these 1.6's be good for 250k miles?
I actually signed up for some bogus quakerstate warranty for 250k if I keep proof of every oilchange with quakerstate oil and filter.
Thats out the window, as I wouldnt use a quakerstate filter. I couldnt find where they sell them (i think kmart) and filter tests indicated this filter was a rebadged poor quality unit.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
these cars would last a while with proper maintence, of course i would rebuild the engine about every 150k and make sure the tranmission has good fluid in it
lol i wouldnt buy car things from kmart :)
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
honestly. i wouldn't rebuilt the engine at 150k, probably at 200-250k.. but even then it would be the same cost less work and faster to run it until engine failure, and then buy a rebuilt, or a low mile junkyard engine and toss it in.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
yeah a swap would be quicker, but im going to gather parts for the the next year or two and rebuild it, also my friend just started at wyotech so he will do some nice work with my engine when its apart
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
wyotech in pa? if so, he's like 45 minutes from me.
i went to that school 10? years ago, before it was "named" wyotech.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo.
in fla somewhere, ill have to call him sometime anyways
im pretty sure he said he was going to wyotech, but ill have to find out

I'm now at 115000 miles and my experience with the car has been uneventful. I'm on my 3rd set of brakes, 3rd set of tires, 2nd timing and serpentine belt, regular oil changes, and recently replaced left side wheel bearings and right side lower ball joint. Other than that I've not put any real money into the car for repairs. Mine is an 04 with an automatic trans. I'm extremely happy with the car. I'm hoping to hit 200000 miles. If and when I do I'll worry about the big repair bills then.
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo. (most miles / kms)
I've only hit about 36,000 miles and so far its a great car. The only thing I would change (from the factory, and if I didnt plan on changing it anyway) is the gearing, or throwing a 6th gear in to get the rpms down at highway speed
-
Re: Highest Mileage Aveo. (most miles / kms)
my car has 97680 miles I change the oil and I soon will have to replace the CV-Halfshaft my parents damaged in 2008. Other than that the car has ran great knock on wood.

Re: Highest Mileage Aveo. (most miles / kms)
Just did an oil change on my 04, now has 101,500km. I'm looking into trading it in for a 2010 since they have the $4500 discount right now.

Re: Highest Mileage Aveo. (most miles / kms)
Im now at almost 134,000 miles. repairs, in no specific order, air/fuel ratio sensor, catalytic converter, ignition coil, fouled spark plugs, backup switch (reverse switch) brake switch (stop ight switch), blower resistor,driver door lock cylinder c-clip, both window crank handles and horseshoe clips, driver door interior mirror cover, rear subframe dead axle assembly (one bushing was bad and not replaceable) complete suspension (springs, shocks, struts, strut mounts and bearings(strut mount bearing)) front brakes (on third set for life of car), 3 lug studs (all 3 were on right front hub), buffed headlights, drive belt tensioner, plastic horseshoe clip for fuel rail fitting, replaced all 4 wheels that were out of round. some of these repairs, ended up with modifications, out of round wheels were replaced with 17x7 enkei RS6 rims, the suspension was replaced with eibach sport springs, KYB shocks, struts, strut mounts. As of right now, thats all I can think of

What did the previous owner do to that poor little car? Use it as a stunt vehicle?
