I read an article about this guy too and I thought it was 2 million also. He was the only owner of the car I believe.

Next door neighbor owns a 88' Accord with over 500,000 miles on it. He says the secret is to drive it every day so the parts wont have a chance to rest and corrode. Yeah, whatever works.

My buddy Bryan's Sentra had well over 400k on it, he drove between here in VA to Pittsburgh to see his dad about once or twice a month. Those things run.

Re: Highest mileage Car u have seen?

My ex-Sentra is over 200k now. Was 186k when I totaled it.
I know of a 93 G20 with 260k, and it's turboed..
and a 1999 G with 177,000....yes on a 99.

Once on Letterman I saw a guy roll over 1,000,000 on an old Civic. He was perturbed b/c Honda wouldn't buy the car back from him (for publicity or whatever) and he thought they should.

Re: Highest mileage Car u have seen?

A couple years ago there was a guy with a million mile car here in Ohio for the Honda Open House. Funny thing.. it was his 2nd million mile car. The first one they traded him a brand new accord for. He came back years later with another 1,000,000 car they bought back too. He timed it so he could hit 1,000,000 in front of the factory... I believe he was a mailman or something.

Re: Re: Highest mileage Car u have seen?

The gents name is Irv Gordon and he drives a 60s era Volvo P1800 (1966?). I last saw it almost 4 years ago in Boston when it had less than 2 million miles on it. It's in great shape yet at the same time it was obvious that the guy practically lives in the thing (I recall a CB radio in it I think.)

Re: Highest mileage Car u have seen?

I'm surprised we haven't gotten any Toyota people reaching ungodly amounts of miles.

The highest mileage I've seen in person are my two co-worker's late 80's preludes, both hit around 250-260k miles. My friend's 90 Corolla is at 250k, his interior lighting isn't working at all but his headlights still work and so does his engine, good enough for him.

My bro plans to get over 400k in his Lexus SC400, dunno if that's goin to work out. I plan to get 300k mi in my KA24 engine, dunno if that's goin to work out either... If it blows I'm gettin either an RB25DET or SR20!!

Re: Highest mileage Car u have seen?

My girlfriend's Toyota Camry 86' is at 230k, it's going to her sister real soon here, and then probably her little brother after that, I think it's needing some maintenance pretty bad, oh well, her dad will pay me to do it I'm hoping. $$$
