So I have a 06 TL 3.2 she’s got 404k miles no major work done other then timeing belt replaced once. Water pump once. Still runs like the day I got it best car ever

 

 

 

I think this is the new winner for highest mileage on a 3G

 

Shucks! I thought my 308K miles was the tops. Well, I hope to get to 400K.

Congrats OP !!

Automatic or manual?

 

Automatic

 

Being that you were 11 when your ride hit the streets, it's safe to say you're not the first owner. What's the history of it that you're aware of?

 

It was my dads car befor mine

 

That's awesome, you have a cool pops

 

You should document your journey to 500k.. start your story from your pops and onward.

 

Wait, water pump and timing belt only once? In 404K miles?

 

I mean she needs a little work. But still runs great no noises, shifts gears perfect, no ticking or knock. Need to replace the dashboard “cracked by passenger airbag”

 

Only once. And the timing belt was replaced at about 300k. It was hanging on by just a few strands

 

 

 

A timing belt usually gives between the ribs (across the belt).
Whereas the drivebelt will also split between the ribs, but it's splined along the length of the belt.
When the belt is compromised, it usually doesn't hold for much longer too

 

Yea it started making a helashis noise

 

You guys have any recommendations on the sound system sounding like crap. It’s got all new speakers and sub. But any thing above 10 or 11 is really crappy audio

 

Then something is wrong with your system; you should easily be able to get up into the 30s before you start noticing distortion.

 

Myra I was thinking maybe the factory amp went out ? Not big on sounds systems so not sure

 

Replace the capacitors in the amp

Or just replace the amp with something better..
Before the new speakers went in, how was it sounding?
What's the impedance of the new speakers?

Nah, I have 312K and there's a couple of guys who have ~335K in the "how many miles" thread...

OP, was your dad a salesman or regional manager? That's a ton of miles on an '06. But the real miracle is that the tranny is still going!!!

 

Nice! That’s Awesome!


Is this mileage on original transmission? Regardless........

 

I have a 05 base, automatic running at 141k lol... I am far away from that.

 

Untouched engine untouched transmission

 

Wow! Someone did some serious driving. Glad it's still ticking for you. Enjoy!

 

Must you always be a party pooper?

Hehe, just turned 313K today. Pretty sure I'll still have my TL when it turns 400K in about 3 years. Not sure about 500K... The big test now is how much longer will my original clutch last?

 

Still my hero NFN.. you're the only one I know who's had it from the beginning and kept up your own maintenance

You and mmade22.. I remember his journey to like 220k miles over ~6 years.. solid..
I know he sold his ride a long time ago, but it was the first testament to the longevity and reliability of the TL.

 

Highest mileage 3G I've seen yet! Well done!



How long until you hit the big 500K?

 

 

OoOoOoO that's how I want my car!

 

Do it, Justin!


But aren't you at like 75K miles, still?

 

Wow that's impressive. Especially with it being an 06.

 

Excuse me Majofo, but I've had mine since the beginning too and have been here since 2003, delivered May 1, 2004.

How many miles do you have on it though?

 

Haven't seen you in a while
