Default Most Milage on a C70

I've been calculating the milage per year that I drive and how many miles i'm going to have year after year... I figure, if everything goes well, I will have nearly 300k miles in the next 5 years of driving! As long as repairs don't out weight the cost of a different car of course.

So I have to ask, how many people out here have high mileage on their C70 and how many miles?

Any crazy expensive repairs so far?

I've put 70K miles on mine with very minor repair cost thus far. A couple replaced calipers and a rear strut mount have been most major things for me! (dealership replaced front end under warrenty: steering rack, a arms, tie rods and ends)

a little over 147k miles on mine just bought it this past spring. under 3k more and i can join the vovlo high milage club. that will have to wait till next summer though since my volvo is my summer only toy
only repairs i need to do on mine for winter projects is new pads all around, new front rotors, new front control arms(for the new bushings),rebuilt abs module, and get my front window regulators rebuilt

01 coupe, has 143k miles on it. No major repairs so far, but on my girlfriend's 2000, her timing belt tensioner went out and we ended up paying 3 grand for new valves and everything installed =(. That was around 85,000 miles. DON'T IGNORE THE STICKY!!

Car was in possession of original owner for first 30K miles to 2019 when the owner passed, spent its life in a private parking garage when not being driven. Briefly owned by an employee of the owner's building for a year before he damaged it and sold it to me at 38K.
