You saying 10K between oil changes. I must ask what brand ? I changed to full synthetic after the break-in, the most I see is 5K, tops.

10K? Mileage miser haha. I change mine when it gets to 20% life. I Think that's like 4-5K depending on driving habits.

I am considering purchasing a high mileage 2015 ecoboost soon, How has maintenance and mechanical issues been? Either of you drive the snot outta your cars? or you drive relaxed.

I BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF MY CAR, but have put in all the maintenance. Spark plugs every 15k (they seem to carbon up fast), trans fluid 3 times, rear dif twice, coolant once, brake fluid. Front seal, timing chain, water pump, belts and pulleys, VCT GEARS/solenoids , CAMS, TURBO/SEALS/LINE, VACCUM PUMP SEAL, HP FUEL PUMP, HEAD GASKET, CAM POSITIONING SENSORS, CRANK POSITION SENSOR, PCV VALVE(I BROKE THE FITTING CHANGING OUT MY COLD AIR INTAKE TO STOCK ETC), RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING. mobile 1 extended every 4k until 80,000 then every 3k till now.

Legitimate failures (that had to be fixed or the car wouldnt move)
VCT GEARS/SOLENOID 97,778
RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING 72,000
FORD PAINTED OVER GROUNDING LOCATION (NEAR AIR BOX) THREW ABOUT 15 DIFFERENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS 32,000

EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS FIXED WAS COVERED UNDER MY AFTERMARKET WARRANTY AND PARTS I PAID TO HAVE PUT IN WHILE THE WARRANTY COMPANY PAID THE LABOR TO OPEN THE ENIGNE.
MY TOTAL INVOLVEMENT IN FIXES (LABOR OVERAGES/PARTS/FUILD MINUS OIL) $1,300
WARRANTY COMPANY PAID OUT $11,768

Got car on a April 28th, 2020 and I alresdy got 4791 miles on it

omelet1978. He had a post back in oct saying he was close to 150K.

I'm at 19555.1 in my 2017 shadow back gt...

I'm coming up on 170,000 miles as of now so I guess I'm continuing to win in the high miles and lowest resale value category.

Fortunately the Mustang (Ecoboost premium w/ the manual) is still going strong since it's highway miles. I'm actually spending some time on it and am going to try and keep it at least a couple of years longer.

97k on my 15. Bought it 18 months ago with 62k. Drive it daily 80+ miles to work. Life's too short to drive shitty cars. I enjoy my commute to work just like I enjoy Sunday drives. Doesn't smoke, no odd noises, uses very little oil (and I stay in the upper tach range). Can't beat these cars for an everyday driver...

I totally agree I was planning to buy a 2000 dollar car for my short commute to work since it’s like a 10min drive each way but life’s too short to drive shitboxes.

Haha, you're beating me by a little. I picked up my car at the end of March and I just ticked over 4,200 miles the other day. Covid somewhat slowed down my mileage accumulation, but a lot of those are just fun miles because I was bored.

100%. The safety of an old shitbox is often sub par as well, so if you get smoked, you may not make it. The only time it's worth it is if you live in a state that abuses road salt/brine in the winter.

I drive about 1600 miles a month, how about you?

My GT Convertible is at 53,xxx. Bought in May 2015. Daily drove it until we got our F150 one year ago. After a few warranty issues early on, it has been rock solid. Oil changes every 5k miles. Is more of a summer vehicle now, with our son finally driving, to save on insurance costs.

I'm averaging about 1000 a month.

Wondering who has the highest mileage s550?
.....
I bought my car back in the end of Sept of this year and already added around 8k miles on it, love driving it!!!

I hear ya. January 31st, 2019 and I'm just passing 43K miles.

So I hopped in the other day and I noticed I finally hit 100k miles on my 15 GT premium performance pack. But truthfully I have more or less kept it stock with a few bolt ones and it has been reliable the entire way, not trans issues no ticking or knocking, one of my cats clogged up on me and got headers and a tune and that’s it no more major issues. Considering I daily this car, and I mean DAILY it.

I’m curious to know how many miles you guys have or if there’s anyone else out there with a lot of miles on thier S550?

GAD!!!!!!
Don't you ever clean the interior/dash?????

Mines clean enough to eat off of; always............
