Easily 100,000 before a top-end assuming you're meticulous about maintenance. I'd not be surprised at 200,000+ with maybe a top-end thrown in there along the way.

My '05 EGC had 92,000 on it when some moron totalled it in a rear-ender on the freeway back in November. It was still going strong on original motor and ran great. It never once gave me a problem and always got me from A to Z without a stutter.

I've got 70,000 since I bought her new, and I don't plan on doing anything till at least 100,000. Does that help?

Just like any vehicle, regular maintenance and it will last a long time. I expect to get at least a 100,000 before I even think about trading, assuming I can get it off the stand by then
