Any High Mileage 05+ cars out there, 75K +

I was wondering how the mustang holds up when the miles get high. Does anyone have that experience yet?

someone's done a LOT of driving if they've put that many miles on the car in ~ 2 years.

57k

I am at 57K miles. Been through a couple sets of tires and a whole bunch of oil changes.

This may sound dumb, but I swear the cowl shakes a LOT more now then it did a year or two ago. The A Pillar plastic is squeaking more. The drivers seat (leather) is showing a bit of wear, wrinkles, not tears (yet).
The radio buttons arent looking very good, but my wifes car with 32K miles looks a lot worse.

Everything else is still original: brakes, hoses, belts, battery, clutch .

I live in my car for 3 hours a day during the week. With that being considered, it is holding up pretty well.

I'm at 41k and all is well.(knock on wood) I have the same seat issue and a piller noise but overall very happy. If I get the same milage as my 99 gt I will be very happy. Had over 156k on her.

I had 41k on my red '05 when I traded it, seats still looked pretty good, radio buttons were showing a little wear, but the car ran great. I'm much happier with my '06 though, the manual is more fun than the automatic, and I'm saving money each month due to a lower car payment.
