Hey folks, just picked up a '13 ST with 185K on the clock. Yes, that's not a typo. The dude was a regional sales manager, so it is quite literally "all highway miles". It needs a turbo and some minor body work (dent in the front fender, scrape in the rear quarter, tail light lens, etc). Once I replace the turbo, I'll report back on how it's doing. Since this isn't really a "build", I figured this was the best place for the thread.

Any other high mileage ST's out there?

That's some serious miles on a 2013, especially compared to 57k on my 13.. How much were you able to pick it up for?

I am glad to hear its running still. After a year I have just over 6K miles. I should be able to have mine for 30 years at this rate. :question:

I am glad to hear there are ST's out there with that many miles on them. With appare Land vehicle Vehicle Car Motor vehicle Classic car
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Motor vehicle Alloy wheel
Land vehicle Vehicle Car Coupé Sedan
ntly all systems still functioning as I plan to keep 2013 as my DD till it wears out completely. I love my ST I only have 36,600 miles on it now because I used my old car as a winter beater the last 3 winters. The mileage will be going up faster from now on as the old 92 Toronado was going to need new struts, rear shocks and tires so I sold it to a friend to use for spare parts for his 92 TRof'eo. I decided that the cost of plates and Insurance plus the repairs needed was to high. Here are some of my cars the gold 57 88 I bought in 1978 it is My first car so you can see I keep cars a long time.

There's another thread here somewhere with a guy with almost 400k on his. The turbo is original but he just put in a new clutch.

Looks like a good contender to strip out anything unnecessary and turn into an OT car. I bet If you removed the back seats you would have as much room as a minivan and could track tires and small tool box to the track.

MidLife-ST is over 300k. Probably around 350k by now. Nothing catastrophic. Belts, alternator, clutch...normal wear and tear items at that kind of mileage.

Yeah, I had to check out that thread--that's awesome.

Trust me, that thought had crossed my mind. Already needs some body work, picked it up pretty cheap, etc. Maybe a barely street legal, weekend HPDE type toy. We'll see.
