Re: what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?
Long time ago I owned and operated a taxi cab. Got it up to 475,000 mi. on 3 different engines before it wasn't cost effective to put more money into it. Not sure how long it went on the first one, maybe around 200,000

Re: what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?
130,000 on an 1989 Acura Legend before the tranny started acting up. Then I had 107,000on a honda accord before a replaced tranny went in (Honda ate tge cost due to a recall). I would have kept the accord but the tranny was acting up again so I traded for an Acura TL.

Re: what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?
Got 165k on a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the I-6 engine and 42re tranny. Only thing thats been replaced is a fuel pump and a water pump.
Its towed a 2500lb boat and a 3k lb pop up a pretty good lot.

Re: what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?
I have 170k on the 91' Accord. Only hasn't started once, and that was the standard Honda main relay problem. Still has the original clutch even. I would like to get it to 200K , so we'll see how it holds up.

My last vehicle was a 1990 Ford Probe. It went to 240,000 miles on the original engine/transaxle.

Re: what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?
87 Volvo 240 wagon with over 400,000 on it.The odometer stopped at three hundred something thousand and the car was driven for more than five years after that. When I parked it two or three years ago it still was running. I also had a 91 240 wagon with over 300,000 on it. Great cars.

Re: what's the most mileage you've gotten from a vehicle?
My first car was a 94 Toyota Camry that had almost 150k when I sold it. I think it is still alive and kicking 3 years later too. It never failed to start.
