A few years ago I read an article of a guy who kept his early 90's Prelude for 500,000 miles. All he replaced were the wear-items (brake pads, spark plugs etc.) and kept up on scheduled maintenances... all on his stock engine. Honda caught wind of this and gave him a brand new Prelude type SH for free.

There's the Subaru High Mileage Club which documents high mileage subarus that have gone over 100,000 miles with no major repairs (That is nothing like engine rebuilds, new tranmissions, etc.) And I know that they have some cars listed at over 300,000 miles - but nobody has yet to reach 400,000.
And VW beetle used to hold the world record (but had gone through multiple engines obtaining this feat) at over a million miles I believe. I think a Volvo also passed the million mile mark. And if I'm not mistaken the latest record holder is a Plymouth Fury.

There is a guy that brings his car into where I work for regular maintenance, it's a 1989 Buick Park Avenue w/ a 3800 V6 and It has 289,000 miles on it. We only usually see him if he needs an oil change or brakes and other odds and ends.

Saw a Volvo like the one pictured with over 600,000 Miles on it at a carshow a few weeks ago and its still in good condition, no rust what-so-ever and I guess the guy is like 2 in Canada for highest mileage and 4th or 5th in the world ranking.

My dad's chevy lumina has over 300k miles on the clock. No major repairs and he's owned it since 14k. That's nuts for a domestic!

ja ja, newbies....
my friend owner a 77 Hillman Hunter for 23 years and that car made 2 complete rounds of the clock. Everything original, except for the radiatord, the brakes and the dashboard (a tree falled in front of the car).
I know I know, a lot of old cars can get more... but it was an open question, donīt ya?
