...my 02' has a little over 220k...no major issues since I've owned it,other than the regular maintenance, I've only had to do a radiator that caught me by surprise. The mileage will slow down now, since I've bought another vehicle for daily use, but the mods will start up again...

03 213k miles going on 3 weeks with the car. No problems that I've noticed so far. The car was well maintained with regular dealership service from the day it was purchased as a lease. My wife loves this vehicle. The compliments we've gotten in just a few weeks have been insane. Just got my new front brake pads in so will be putting them on tomorrow due to some squeaking slightly. Other than that the car is a beauty. I find myself dodging potholes in the highway often.

I don't think I'll live long enough to see high mileage on either of my cars. 
The 2004 Corvette has 21K miles. I've put only 3K on it since moving to the Seattle area two years ago. I only drive it on sunny days. Unfortunately, not a lot of them up here. 
The SC430, which replaces the Mazda 3 as my "daily driver", only has 22K miles on it and I expect to drive it about as much as the Corvette. I work out of a home office and it really saves money on gas. Nice commute, too.

The front door speakers, height sensors and trunk struts needed replacing. I replaced the spark plugs and did the timer and drives belts and water pump etc at 50k miles/8 years. Everything else mods ...

I have an sc430 with 90,000 miles. Do I need to have the timing belt changed? anything else? I have no problems, just want to maintain my vehicle. what is the average cost?

Pole Position
definitely! the timing belt Is due. Remember also change the water pump. The dealer cost is somewhere between 1000 and 1200 . Independent contractors are most likely cheaper, Somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 .

2002 - 165,000 miles. Still running fine. Motor mounts, a/c components, new ECU, timing belt, h2o pump, brakes, tires, radiator but most were routine maintenance or replaced due to time.

2002 gold SC 430 with 166,495 on the clock. Just purchased it 6 weeks ago and love it. Solid driver and quick. Just had a leaky valve cover replaced. Lexus dealer told me "it's just broken in."
