What's the most miles someone you know ever put on a car?

[TheScientist]

My 22 yr old sis put 108,000 miles on her 1998 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition, and the car still runs great. Minor problems and stuff. But that's the most miles I've ever seen put on a car, of some one I know.

Let's see. I had a Pontiac Sunbird a number of years back with a V6. I put on 193,000 then traded it in and got $2000.00 for it. I have a friend who had a Chevy Astro van that he put 260,000 miles on it.(He claims) He is a great mechanic so I tend to believe him on it.

Well, I had 173,000 on the Toyota when I sold it, and I have 123,000 on my Renault. One of my friend's girlfriend has a Honda with very nearly 300,000 on it (but I can't remember the exact mileage at this point)

ive seen people put 300,000 miles on their vehicles before they had to replace any major things...

of course they maintain their vehicles themselves on an every-other-weekly basis (i do the same, which is why my 90' 525i runs as good as new)

I bought a '73 Chevy Nova with 219500 on it and put another 78000 on it before I traded it.
My '88 Pontiac LeMans (Opel Kadett) has 240000 or so on it.
My '93 Ponty Sunbird SE has 195000 +/- on it.

my friends ford ranger has almost 300,000 miles on it...don't exactly know how many of those miles HE put on it. but yeah.

my old car (1987 oldsmobile calais) had 180,000 miles on it before i bought my 300zx.

theres a kid at school with a 300zx with 280,000 miles, his is "riced" out and it sounds like it wants to die at idle.

thats nothing, my friend use to own a camry and sold it when it had around 250k miles like 2 years ago and the guy he sold it to gave it to his sister when he put around 120k I and I met up with her a while back and shes still using it up to this date, must have over....... well you do the math, she hasnt replaced any parts YET as I know of.

There was a Taxi in Germany, which the driver told me he had put 810,000 km's on it, the car was a 1980's E class and it certainly seemed credible, as Merc motors are konwn to go on forever.

my mom's kia sportage has 134,000 miles on it.
talk about amazing especially from kia...although the engine sounds like it wants to die though...

My wrangler has about 200,000 on it. My dad's got a truck with around 400,000 and the only major thing repaired was we rebuilt the head twice.

[Little_Stang87]

My sister put 116,000 miles on her ford contour.

[Suthrnchica]

Yeh my Honda has 153k miles on it and it WILL NOT DIE, believe me, I've tried!!! Why in the world did I get that car?

[LacrosseGuy]

speaking of high miles would you guys buy a seabring jx with 197000 highway miles for 3250. Cars in great shape.
