Life expectancy

I am the original owner of a 2014 CTS-V wagon. It is my only car and I am quickly approaching 200,000 miles. I am wondering if anyone else has that kind of mileage on theirs? The car is stock and has no issues just looking forward as to what I will need to replace. I do have a new alternator, plugs, wires, coils, belts, radiator hoses and water pump ready to go (all OEM) but was wondering about the fuel pump and other systems. I did have to replace the intercooler and rear shocks (OEM parts). As far as maintenance has anyone put more miles on theirs?

There’s a member that posted 307k, and that was 6-12 months ago.

Timing Chain w/associated guides and tensioners.

Suspension bushings. And your front shocks are without a doubt NFG if they've been on the car for 200K miles. Shocks good for maybe 100K if you don't hit any big bumps...

I'm not sure I know anyone who's had to replace their intercooler. Why did you have to replace your intercooler?

Thanks on the timing chain information. Front mag shocks are good, rears leaked and locked up, replaced with OEM and car is like new. Wagon handles highway bumps like they are not there, that was not the case when the rears failed. Intercooler failed, loss of coolant. Again replaced with OEM around 148,000 miles. The supercharger pulley is stock as I have not gone to aftermarket on anything. Suspension is fine as it handles like new and tire wear is excellent. I am curious as to the other post you mentioned with 307k miles.

Just found the poster with 307k miles. I will contact him. Thanks
Awesome that your wagon gets driven so much and isn't a garage queen!

Thanks, I get asked all the time why I drive it every day. Answer, because I enjoy it....that's why I bought it. Driving it is therapeutic for me, love the sound and acceleration among other qualities.

Still happens with the same people after countless rides, and usually the one guy that swears "his buddies AMG/911S/S6 is faster" always retracts the statement when you punch it in [email protected] and redline it out to 130mph in no time at all with three adults in the car. This platform is the tits.
