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

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.

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

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.

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

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)

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

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)

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

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.

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

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 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.
