Going from memory (mine is still away for the winter) I have about 54,000 on mine.
04 model, from the original batch of pre-order cars that I received in July 03.

about 83,000, an 05' I bought with 50K on it. I've had my 8 for almost one year now.
winter driven, only replaced plugs and had fluids flushed/refilled, will be doing the coils this summer; only because of the number of kilometres, she's running like a top and I redline her once a day with a little pre-mixing.
Some rattling with sunroof open, an inconsistent rattle that sounds like it is coming from rear
passenger window, and when really cold there's an inconsistent REALLY loud rattle from what seems to be the rear window deck!?....
Other than that she's been awesome!...sooooo much fun!!

hey with that copper red 8: you stated the body is a bit rough?? u mean dents or rust...the only rust i can think of is in the rear wheel wells ....everyone that drives it in winter gets rust really quickly there, do to rock chips.....the paint is pretty crappy on the 8's......
but what i did is used the plastic door protectors from Canadian tire u can actually slide them on the rear wheel well and it holds very well.

It was also in a minor accident and there's a little white paint and scuffing on the side. I can't complain, I paid $16.9k.What are you referring to by the plastic door protectors at Canadian Tire?

I have an '04 GT, bought in June '04. I've got 88,000kms on it now. I drive it in the winter as it's my only vehicle. I've replaced starter, coils, plugs, battery b/c of slow starts. Car's been perfect otherwise! I've never flooded it. I'm looking forward to another 7 - 10 years and 120,000 kms on it ... well, I hope so!
