How many miles on your V6?
 
I'm mostly interested in the 3800s but all are welcome to post. I just want to see where everyone else is. If you've had or haven't had problems happen with your drivetrain, that would be good info too.

MY: 1998
Engine: 3.8L
Milage: 80k
Transmission: Manual

So far... no drivetrain related problems.

Its not a 3.8 but here goes:

My: 1994
Engine: 3.4L
Milage: 206,000+ miles
Transmission: Manual

Rear end was f'ed up when I got it but paid 250 for one and then my clutch finally gave out at 180,002 miles lol. I think my 1/2 syncro is about done also now. I got the car at 131,xxx miles and have preceeded to beat the sh*t out of it every day for 5 years :D

My 3.8 has around 90,000 now and has no drivetrain problems.

1997 Camaro RS 'vert

Miles: 95,900
Engine: 3.8L V6
Tranny: Automatic

Have not had any major problems. Just bought the car 2 weeks ago and only put 400 miles on it (200 were just driving it home). The owner told me that the car was well taken care of. No major accidents, oil changed every 3k miles, tires rotated every 6k. Before I bought the car it was given a complete tune up, engine flushed and fluids replaced, oil pan re-sealed and a new gasket put on so there is no oil leaks.

I did however notice a rattling coming from the rear of the car. I haven't looked into it yet, but I do see it being much of a problem as of yet because the car just passes Pennsylvania State inspection. Here is a picture of my car.

I took off the front ground effect because it was so badly damaged. I'm getting a new one put on this weekend. After I get the ground effect on, I'm going to give her a bath and then load up my camera with pictures of my new baby!

1996 3.8 A4 - 99K miles

Purchased the car at 94K miles (most others I looked at were at about 150K... hard to find them with less around here).

I plan on keeping it until 200K, as these cars seem to hold up pretty well.

No leaks or rattles. Very quiet, good ride and the steering is tight. Other than changing the oil, transmission fluid etc. it has needed nothing. :)

I bought my '95 3.4 with 109,000 on the clock. Previous owner had beat it kinda bad, but I knew that and got it cheap. Still looked good, and I knew it would last if I treated it better. Tranny (A4) gave out @ 115,000. Right before I sold it with 136,000 miles, it was starting to eat spark plugs. Not sure why, found the Z before I got around to fixing it.
