Joe Handley Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I'll have had it for 12 years in June and only have just shy of 164k on it now http://blog.fcanorthamerica.com/2012/06/12/joining-the-high-milers-club/
Rob Hall Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Interesting..I'll have had mine 15 years in August and it's just over 156k now ('00 Grand Cherokee) Edited March 21, 2015 by Rob Hall
Tom Geiger Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I bought my 1996 Grand Caravan new and have 196,000 on it. I will be needing a 200,000 plate sometime this year. I book marked the page. My 1999 Plymouth Breeze has 155,000 but I was the third, and now the fifth owner so it doesn't qualify. I bought it from a model club friend, it was his mother in law's car with 34,000 on it. Her son was the original owner, and the parents bought the car from him. I was the third owner, buying the car for my daughter. When she grew up and went on her own, I transferred title to her. When she got her Fusion, the car was still in good shape so I bought it from her.
Draggon Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I've had 2 American cars with over 200,000. My Durango is closing in on 100k, which isnt a lot these days, it still drives like new. A friend had a 95 Civic. Her speedometer broke somewhere after 250k. She kept it another 5 years and averaged probably 20,000 miles a year.
DrGlueblob Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Wife's Toyota Echo has 175k. A friend's Echo has 425k -Last I looked two years ago. My 97 Suzuki Metro had 325k on it when I sold it.. My Tacoma is just reaching 200k. No more Detroit junk for me.
Tom Geiger Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Oh yea, my Geo Tracker has 245,000 on it. A bunch of years ago I was at a junkyard and I noticed a beat up Honda Accord sedan sitting right next to the office with "Don't Touch" written several times on the windows. I asked the yard guy what was so special about it, and he said that it had 600,000 miles on it. Said there was nothing wrong with it, that the owner just figured he wasn't going to push his luck any further and bought a new car. He junked it because he didn't want to stick anyone with it. The junk yard guy just couldn't scrap it!
Johnt671 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I had a 79 Mustang that had 212K on it when I sold it. I got what I paid for it . I now own an 84 Fiero SE with Over 232K on it, and she's still going strong. She got new paint this past summer.
