what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?

my friends dads 04 mustang lasted about 3k miles, had a pulley installed wrong on it and the oil pump failed, the shop that installed it replaced engine for free
 
I bought a 1991 Mazda MPV (basic van, 4 cyl motor, windup windows, no cruise.... a real plain Jane). I just sold my monster gas guzzler Suburban (8-10 mpg on a down hill run with a tail wind).



I sold the MPV in 2004 with a whopping 294,000 miles for $800...never touched the engine, but rebuilt the trans at 150,000. It's still around delivering resturant meals in the KC area.



Great little van!

I'm on my way to work in a second, but I literally just ran outside to the driveway to take these shots a second ago. This is my 1994 Acura Legend LS coupe 6-speed manual. I've owned it since 95,000 miles and bought it in early 2003.



Just about to turn over 327,000 miles on the ORIGINAL engine, transmission, and clutch. I have receipts to prove it! :) It's been a great car.

I have shared pics on here before, but it "only" had 302k on it at the time ;). I put on about 50,000 per year or more.

My 97 Ford Exploder as 137k on it an my brother is driving it now. It has the dohc v6 which was new for that year and was supposedly very unreliable. All I had to do was change the oil once.

I have an '02 Hyundai Elantra that my wife and I use as a 3rd car for running errands. We have 106K on it, and it still runs like new, looks like new, and has had no major issues. It is our "experiment" car, as we are going to keep it just to see how far it will go.
 
My current beater is a 1994 Buick Roadmaster wagon with 229k miles on it and my 1995 Impala SS has 182k miles on it and will be blasting the road course at BIR on June 2nd. :woot2: I did replace the working automatic in the Impala and put in a used six speed manual at about 140k, though. :cool: (Oh yeah, the Impala has got 33 MPG after the 6 speed swap, too!)



I sold my S15 to a friend at 254k when I hit a deer. He sold it at 325k and it still had never had engine or trans work.

We were the original owners of a 1996 Passat diesel and that made it to 173k miles when one of the heavy springs on the clutch broke. That was the car's first major repair.



My 1995 GM H body is right around 166k this week and that's never had a major repair of any sort...runs good, shifts good (knock on wood).
 
1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX had 180,000 miles before I burnt a valve. I did the cylinder head myself and sold the car a little after that. The next owner totalled it with 202,000 miles on it.
 
'76 Celica 290,000

'83 Celica 182,000

'89 Maxima 265,000



Always kept cars as I hated car payments. Have recently gone to the balloon payment. So probably won't get more than 60k moving forward.
 
170k+ '96 Volvo 850 GLT Sedan - Original owner, original motor and transmission but have spent considerable $ on routine maintenance and repairs over the 12+ years of ownership.

Wow, your definitely the winner in terms of miles and having a mint looking car. :clap:
 
Old chevy work van with carborated 350 sold it with 602, 984 miles showing! She was well maintained but very tired by the time she was sold. Went through 2 transmission's though.

94 Honda Civic EX currently with 173k miles. Still going strong and to think I've never even gotten any scheduled maintenances (just oil changes)!

I use to have 95 Civic DX with 171K miles...no scheduled maintenance as well, just oil changes;).
 
I got ~150,000 miles on our '84 Pontiac before we sold it to a taxi driver back in '04. My '99 GA only made it to 100,000 miles, then it got hit and written off.
