The most miles you've ever kept a car

[2knees]

My civic is up to 152,386. Bought it new in '02. Still basically runs like a champ even if its a shit hole. Never thought i would keep a car this long.

Approx 99,000 on a 1992 Saab that i had as a new car and got rid of last May

purchased a POS 1982 Honda Accord in college with 167K and ran it to 198K.

After college bought a 95 Ford Explorer with 82K miles on it and ran it to 197K.

My current 07 Hyundai Sonata I bought new and I am up to 103K. 1 year of that my wife had it putting only about 15K miles on it. So I've racked up 90K in 2.5 years due to work. If I stay in the same job, or another traveling sales job and I don't run into major repairs, I'll keep it as long as it goes. Hoping for 300K.

'01 BMW X5 4.4i ~183K on it. I bought from the dealer for a huge discount with 8K on it. I got rid of it in 12/08 for the FJ. The FJ has 65K on it now.

you put 175K miles on a car in 3 years and I thought I drive a lot.

My first car was a 94 Saturn that I bought at 127k and drove to 204k. Would have kept driving it if the tranny didn't need fixing.

Had a 95 Volvo 850 wagon that had 220,000 when we got rid of it.

My Dad drives from Torrington to Stamford 5-7 days/week for work (to then drive down to the Bronx for his route). He racks up the miles like there's no tomorrow, though maybe not quite that fast. His last 5 vehicles have all been Mazdas that he bought new and put over 200K on them.

I've had my Blazer for 6 years but I don't drive that much, even with having to hop around the Tri-Campus. I'm at 144K now and I think it had around 90K when I bought it.

My first car my parents got me was a 95' Ford Escort with 180k miles. Put 10k on it my senior year of HS.
My dad gave me his 98' Honda CRV for a graduation present with 70k on it in 04'. Got rid of it last march with 170k.
Bought my truck with 69k last March and currently have 95k. Sad thing is this Dec-April I lived 4 miles away from my job.

213k miles on a 1992 camry....

 

[WoodCore]

My last work vehicle was a 2001 GMC Sierra and managed to log 300,000+ miles before passing it along! Not sure what the mileage is up to date, but it's still on the road!

In 2003 I bought a 98 Bonneville SSEI with 120k, I gave it to my nephew in 2008 with over 220k.

94? Honda Civic at 302,000 and we sold it for 1000 cashafter one day posting it on craigs list. I'm at 165,000 on my current civic and really haven't done shit to it besides the timing belt in a long time.

Sorry, typo. I meant '01.

 

[hammer]

Put 178K on my '98 Subaru Outback before donating it, and I currently have 174K on my '01 Toyota Highlander. Bought both vehicles new.

I have got 326,000 miles on my 77 chevy 4x4. It still runs fine but is now just a yard plow truck. My 97 chevy pickup had 213,000 miles on it when I gave it to my son. It now has 221,000 and he drives it everyday to work.

168k on my 1994 Jetta.

Maybe I should eulogize it in my signature with a 1,000 word essay on its heritage.......

1987 Accord (still had a carburetor) 234,000. Great car...one of the best I've ever owned. Had a new tranny put in after about 150,000. I had a minor shinbang and killed the radiator...sold it to my mechanic.

Had 133k on my '01 Trailblazer when I got rid of it just over a year ago. Was running great still, but the deals that GMC was offering me made the descision about dropping over a grand for a new set of tires/time to change every fluid, big $$ next service visit(which it was due for) vs. a new ride an easy one for me.

My now 54 week old replacement ride just went through 28k miles yesterday
