The pos i drive regularly has 148 or something k miles i think, i cheated and signed up early for a 'gold member' ooo now im -real- 'speshal' 😀. Its close enough! heheh 😉
Surprising how the miles just add up so quickly :Q
 
Oh yea, and its a Saturn Sl1 or Sl2 (forget lol) and we got it off a dads coworker friend that lives around here for like 250 bux. Its a nice little car though actually despite itslittle 'problems' here and there.
 
My '80 Mercedes 450SL that I just got has 133k miles on it. I am sure I will put plenty more though, those old iron block mercedes V8s are known for getting high miles. I just need 22k then I can get the first Mercedes high milage badge for the car, woohoo!
 
My 91 Ford Festiva has 105,000 on it and running fine (Bought it with 80K on it 3 years ago)
My 95 Grand Am is about to hit 100,000 miles on it (Bought it brand new in Oct 95)
My GMC Conversion van has 103,000 miles on it and a blown engine

I sold my 81 Ford Fiesta with 165,000 miles on it (2nd engine pull out of the junkyard with 80K on it. 1st one blew at 115K.) A coworker bought it for $400, put on another 35K on it and sold it to his brother for $400. It is still on the road with the same 2nd engine and had 275,000 miles on it and hasn't had ANY repairs except brakes and new tires.
 
I have a 1971 Oldsmobile that has 143,000 on it in 1985 when I pulled the motor and tranny. I have no idea how far it's gone since then as there is no place to hook up my speedo cable on the trans.

I do know it is at least another 40K but in the last 5-6 years it has only seen about 500 miles a year.
 
I'm a platinum member


1987 Ford Ranger 260,000+ and it still runs grate and gets 25.5 miles to the galleon :Q

Its only a 4banger 😱
 
I've got a 1991 Accord DX with 126000. I know that ain't much, but my folks don't drive more then 12k a year. I've had almost 2 years and average about 20k.
 
My 88 Chevy PU has 227000 miles on the original engine, trans, exhaust.. etc... and its time to freshen up the tranny finally.
 
I just passed 200,000 Miles. Accord'87 - now it is ~200,105.
It is stick shift of course, no trans will last that long. Thime for new timing belt though.

Can Honda replace it with a new Accord for free??? 😉

Peace.
 
1981 VW Scirocco with _well_ over 300K miles (odometer was dead at 266K in 1995 when I got it) on the original engine modded with:
Holley 2100 (from a Pinto 2.3) adapted to a
Dodge Omni intake (from when Dodge bought VW engines for Omnis).
A Ford/Autolite 60 amp alternator and regulator (Bosch remans are ridiculously overpriced) which lives where the AC compressor once sat.
Runs great, and I have enough spares to drive it for 20 years.
1976 Ford F250 (with an F-100 cab) with >300K miles, thrown together from 3+ trucks and a Lincoln (which donated the 460 and C-6 trans).
Engine and trans rebuilt last year.
Cruises at 80~ mph towing other full-sized trucks.

They would be replacing a whole lot of Accords then. People are learning to expect 200,000 miles from Accords. If it doesn't make it, you're simply doing something wrong.

Oh, and the Accord auto tranny can last 247,000 miles and beyond with 15,000 mile fluid changes as recommended (very, very easy to do on this car).
