Inspired by the other thread, I'm sort of interested in this.

Mine is:

1992 Cavalier 222,716 miles.
 
..I got 130k out of a ford ranger but it was a POS rattle trap at that milage..and the interior was falling in aroun me. Headliner actually fell out while driving.
 
had 300,000 km on the old celebrity when it met a deer... it was running almost perfectly at the time 🙁

had 265,000 km on my 88 lebaron too.. traded in for current car.
 
Dodge Van
~320K when engine/tranny gave up the ghost

Chy NY
~280K when donated to local HS autoshop class.

In the days of mechanical odometers, the odometer would show 00000 when you turned over from 99999 miles. This is why car titles have the exemption for odometers like that (mileage may not reflect true mileage or something to that effect)...the older cars cannot show hundreds of thousands of miles. While you can find that very rare older car with 22,000 on the clock, say a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass owned by an old widow lady, one can almost without a doubt be sure that a 1972 Olds Cutlass showing 22K on the odo has turned it over at least once.
 
I've got a double for you:

1973 Ford Torino - 278,000 miles

1975 Monte Carlo - 281,000 miles

I worked for a courier service while in school so I put over 50,000 miles a year on my cars. I bought both cars when they had over 100,000 miles and put about 150,000 additional miles on each car. I guess they don't make them like they used to anymore.

Just broke 100k with my 2000 cavalier.

:thumbsup: Yeah, that was my first car, it was bought new. I eventually gave it to the Goodwill because it needed a new fuel pump and I was ready to get rid of it. I loved that car, despite it sounding like an airplane inside. The Cobalt looks nice.

Oh come on. American cars can get high mileage, too. The difference is that the Jap cars get there without needing the engine and/or transmission rebuilt a couple of times. 🙂
