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

[weekendwarrior]

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. I did replace the working automatic in the Impala and put in a used six speed manual at about 140k, though. (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).

A 2003 Saab 9-3 with 21,000 miles. (yes 21k, I'm not married to any of my vehicles)
I got it bought back under the Lemon Law...

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.

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.

Wow, your definitely the winner in terms of miles and having a mint looking car.

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.

I use to have 95 Civic DX with 171K miles...no scheduled maintenance as well, just oil changes.
