I had 135k on my 86 prelude. It was a nightmare ... I got it with 107, and dumped it 3 years later ... 98 ... got an S10, I have 84k on that ... it's gonna need a few things soon, but still looks tight and runs well overall.

82 Toyota Cressida, ~180k miles when we traded it in. It was my first car, and I'll miss it :brokenheart:
98 Toyota Camry, 67k miles. I'm very confident that this will go 100k, since I'm very good about maintenance.

1993 Ford Tempo. Tan, never been to a carwash....ever...

158,000 miles. Runs like it did when I got it (~100k), if you don't count that huge radiator leak that I still have. Oh well, when you are driving 30 miles each way it pays to put the miles on the beater car.

I got a 1991 Vauxhall(just moved to England) Cavalier that has over 150,000 miles on it that I use to go to work about 15 miles away. Still runs pretty good, all things considered.

My 1989 Isuzu Amigo, 2 wheel drive, 2.3l 4cyl engine, with a 5 speed manual transmission has 300,000 plus miles on it.
I'm going to keep it for another year or two then start looking for a new one. The new one will probably be the last one I ever buy
given my tendency to drive them till they fall apart. Any one have suggestions on a truck that will last 20 years.

I'm not currently driving a car yet over 100K, but I know of quite a few high mileage DD cars, I'll post them.. cool stuff :D

My friend had an 87 Carb'd Prelude. had 335,000 kms on it when I saw it last (a few months back) and ran relatively well.

Another friends' father had a 97 or so Starcraft Suburban, had over 400,000 kms on the odo, daily driven from London, Ontario to Toronto and back almost daily for a few years.. WOW!

yet another friends dad, had a 88 or so Volvo 740 with 485,000 kms on it.. something finally let go on it.. enough for them to park the car and eventually just sell it for a couple hundred bucks.. that thing was a trooper that's for sure!!

and last but not least, my best friend had a Sundance turbo as his first car.. bought it with 310,000 on it for $500.. drove a year without a single problem and then sold for $700, with over 340,000 kms on the odo :)

i'll see how far i can take mine.. heh

77 Grand Marquis, a wee bit over 150,000... I think, anyway, the odometer only has 5 numbers, so for all I know it could be 250,000.

121k on my 88 Trans Am - motor at about 18k
56k on my beater 92 4 cyl Mustang - picked up the whole thing for $200 w/42k on it (thought it was 142k - Carfax proved otherwise after the sale :)) almost 2 years ago, and it's never failed me ONCE. I bought it Nov. 2001 expecting to keep it one winter!

Kind of sad how the newest, most fuel efficient, lowest mileage, and most reliable car I've ever owned was purchased with no warranty for $200 :(

91 Lincoln Continental that is currently dead (head gasket) has over 200k on it. Not sure of the exact number as the speedometer\odometer haven't worked for months. What can you do? It's a Ford.

'96 Ford Taurus with 193,000. Everything works, and quite well. Until several months ago it was driven 130 miles everyday, and never let me down. Well, it had to have a new catalytic converter, but I don't count that. :)
I have a '94 Chevy Silverado with about 250,000 that still runs great, but it's not my daily driver.
