Question How Many miles on your 5.0?

I was just curious how many miles some of you have on your Coyotes? How are they holding up? I cant speak at all about longevity yet due to only having close to 8k on mine.

Anyone getting close to 100k yet? I would think someone who bought theirs in 2010 and drives 20k a year would be really close about now.

Purchased my '13 in July of 2012. It had 9 miles on the odometer when I picked it up and it should hit 32,000 on the way home from work today. No problems at this point. I plan to add a supercharger in late summer this year.

Picked up my 2011 with 18 miles on the clock in August of 2010...now has 22,000 miles. No problems except that I like the car too much to drive it in bad weather (or when there's salt on the road) which means that it sits for huge chunks of the year.

Got my 2011 in October of 2010 with I think 11 miles on the odo. Now a little bit over 40k...

Had a front timing cover oil leak, the battery died, the front lip of the hood bubbled twice, rear axel breather TSB fix, drivers seat needed an internal spring replaced-lumbar, -all items fixed under warranty- new tires Cooper RS3-A's and oil changes all at the dealer..Like this Car A LOT.

That includes a couple of trips, one to the Biltmore in July.

I live 4 miles away from work.

As of today 28,321 miles. Purchase new with 5 miles on 05/03/2012. SC installed 08/16/2013 with 13,625 miles. It has now spent more time with a SC than not. Stock clutch was slipping a bit but I blame that on the (at the time) 575 hp. I've since replaced the clutch and up'ed the HP.
no problems with the car in any manner.

I'm pretty much equal to SpectrH. Bought Jun 12' 75 miles on it. Just hit 30,400 miles. Lower control arms creaking up front. Something drivers rear suspension banging on bumps. Seatbelt rubbing on the cloth Recaros causing some wear. Eats tires, gas and brake parts. Awesome autobahn cruiser and fun to chase 911's in.

2013 GT purchased this past July with around 12,000 on the clock now with around 16K. When I bought it I thought the rear end was a little noisy but the dealer said it was fine. Then a good friend who was a Ford service tek for years and is quite good with cars took it for a spin and right away said "this rearend is not right!" So I took it in to another dealer he recommended and they right away ordered all rear axle parts and about a week and a half later it was perfect. That was late November and now it sits in the garage waiting for the warm weather if it ever gets here.

Had mine since June, 2013. 10k miles, about 2000 of them at road courses driving

Can't really state any issues I've seen aside from the bent rear axle shaft but I think that was from the factory. Also blew a rear axle seal, but I think that was related to the heat generated from the rubbing brake due to the bent rear axle...

Little bit "grabby" in gears 1-2-3 sometimes, but I've done many many shifts and heel-toe's at high RPM, no issues to speak of.

Overall, very happy still. Can't wait for a busy season at the track again this season. If the snow ever melts...

P.s. My 12 CS is at 12k.

Only problems were hood paint bubbling and all 4 rims peeled. Fixed under warranty of course.

I bought my 2014 in April last year with 23 miles on it. I only have 4179 on it now. Its hibernating at the moment till the temp gets above 65.

Your mileage after adding boost encourages me. Are you still running stock pistons and rods? I plan on adding boost late this summer since my wife is getting me a supercharger for my 50th this August. I'm leaning towards a procharger...I like the i1 with the cockpit-adjustable boost. The only thing I don't care for in that setup is the air filter location that doesn't take advantage of the cold air inlet. Perhaps the intercooler helps.
