How many more miles will my 01' Cavy go? Currently 127,000alvarado-f 08-11-2005, 07:38 AM I'v really enjoyed my cavy. I currently have 127,000 miles on it. I drive approx 110 miles a day, five days a week every week. Please let me know how much further I can go. Let me know what major repairs I might encounter in the next months. Or what should I replace so I don't end up on the side of the road. Thanks, Einsfluger 08-11-2005, 11:15 AM wow 110 a day! thats nuts.. i thought my 50 a day was a bit high but anyway.. u should just make sure you have AAA just in case something does happen.

If this goes out you will still be able to drive, just shifting will be a bitch, don't put it off to get it fixed. I would also say look out for your standard crap, build up, maybe a sensor failing. In any case this is a pretty vague question, anything can happen anywhere under any condition, so, look out for the ground splitting. cousincletus 08-11-2005, 04:13 PM I saw an early 1990s Cavalier in the junkyard with well over 300,000 miles on it. Keep your oil changed every 3-5,000 miles, change the tranny fluid every 25-30,000 miles, flush radiator every 2-3 years. I got over 150,000 miles on my last Cavalier (1993) and it still ran well when I got rid of it. Kinda wish I would have kept it. These are very reliable cars with correct maintenance.

These are very reliable cars with correct maintenance. why are you replacing the trans fluid every 30 thousand miles? more like double that, i have a 1991 with 201,000 miles and i flushed the radiator less than 1,000 miles ago along with trans fluid and as far as i can tell by how dark it was it was never changed and i have had only 2 major problems with this car motor mounts and water pump, and i got this car with 130,000 miles for 5$ and drove it cross country il to nv, problems dont really happen till they happen by what how much you drive be ware for thermostat radiator water pump vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
