2000 C2.

74,000 miles. Runs great. No leaks. But I have only owned it for the past 5,000 miles. Not a single drop of fluid in the garage yet.

77k

77k on a Y2K.

Supercharged since 60k.
Drips a bit of oil via the cam covers but I'll get that sorted soon, other than that runs like a champ.

69K miles, 1999 C2, no RMS, no oil leaks. Dealer replaced the breather hose, rotors/pads, and expansion tank as part of warranty when I bought the car back in June 07.

99 c2 tiptronic, original engine, 79,000. Absoltuely no leaks, and only "major" repair was a tranny replacement, necessitated due to low fluid condition following 60k service fluid change at my (ex) indie mechanic.

Looks like some good info as far as reliability is concearned, together with some early failure stories. I have looked all around & so far I havent found a 2002 approaching the century mark. Ill be there soon cause I have a daily driver. I have run small block chevys(Vettes) well past the century mark, but I became very concearned after hearing meltdown stories on renntech. I would like to think (hope) the 3.6 is good for 200,000!
