Highest Mileage on a Geo Metro? I mean Odometer Mileage not MPG

[FreDNesS]

Not the highest but getting there. 175,000 and change. 60,000 of that is all mine.

My 93 has just hit 247,000 and runs great. The engine has not been touched and it even has the original clutch that works fine. Car starts and runs great and uses about a quart of oil between changes.

The only problem I have with the car is the windows. I wish there was a way to make them go up smooth without so much force.

Put "Armorall" on the rubber window doodahs, it has silicone in it.

just lookin' at this thread ..... i replied a year ago and now i have about 338k. my driving has seriously gone down from the old days. 'no fossil fuels for fun'.

my mpg has been low .... about 40 ..... since all i do is very short trips. i need to do a bit of maintenance too i guess .... haven't touched it since the rebuild. been lazy .... lazier.

I probably don't qualify to be a member of this site now, that I sold my Metro. I rebuilt the engine at 207,000 only because the rear main seal and front tranny seal were leaking to beat hell. After the rebuild, it ran just as good as it did before. It had over 240,000 on it, when I sold it. My rebuild worked out pretty darned good.

I just turned 1/4 million miles on my 2000 4cyl automatic. I need new valve seals but everything else with the engine and tranny is fine. Body is starting to rust. So far only repair besides the usual is water pump and timing belt. Home brew exhaust.

215,000 Change all oil seals, O2 sensor, PCV, new straight exhaust, cleaned carbon from EGR to exhaust manifold and rebuilt tranny. Burns no oil, purchased from a 1 owner who changed oil every 3K miles. 49 mpg, 95 2dr, manual tranny, runs great

I have a 94 xFi with 325,000, nothing internal ever done to the motor. I have however replaced the water pump, 5 timing belts, 3 sets of spark plugs, 2 sets of wires, every seal (except the oil pan) and swapped in a junkyard tranny. (lost 5th in the original). She is still running strong!

3 sets of spark plugs?

Should be 10 sets according to the maintenance schedule.

I have a 99 3 cyl with 265000 on it. I just replaced the clutch and it's like back to new again..

[redpepe]

just rolled over 340,000 yesterday.

moved the timing ahead a bit and now getting about 44mpg. short trips sure cut down the efficiencies.

My 91 4dr. 3 cyl. automatic is about 1000 miles from 200k. Rebuilt engine at 152k.
