Inspired by the car thread. How many miles do you have on the car you currently drive the most?

My Subaru has 38,000 miles. I have a three year 36,000 mile lease which runs out in October and I'm going to take the option to buy to avoid a mileage penalty..then drive it for another year or two and sell it. I usually keep a car for about 4 years..at that point I buy or lease a new car.

I have about 68K on the Subie. Hyundai has 45, 32K of them put on in my first six months on my job. Thankfully, I convinced my job to let me use one of their cars (subie) as even though I was getting a fairly nice compensation check for transportation, it wasn't nearly enough to cover the 50K miles a year I need to put on a vehicle for my job.

145k on my civic but that's nothing. My G.F. turned 300,000 a few months ago, so I would say she's at 305,000 and still running nicely. lot's of little things are starting to go like no a.c., passenger window won't go down, windshield wiper with a mind of their own, directional sticks.

She bought the car with 130k many years ago for cheap. It has definately lost some pep, so we take my car to the mountains usually.

I'm responsible for almost 268,000 miles on my employer assigned work vehicle, a 2001 GMC Sierra extended cab 2WD pickup!!

Have about 135,000 on my POV, a 96 Subaru Outback wagon.

Only about 12k. Had a Camry with about 135k before I got the new one. I've been putting about 21-22 thousand on every year. Think I need to change my commuting pattern if I can figure out a way.

I have about 57,000 on my 04 Jeep Liberty. My last rig was a 97 Toyota Tacoma that I gave to my dad after the cab mounts rotted off of it. He fixed those and ran it some more. Then he got caught up with the whole Toyota recall thing with the frame rusting issues. He was able to sell back to Toyota that truck as well as a 95 Tacoma. All I can say is lucky bast$%d. The 97 Tacoma had about 190,000 on it when he sold it back to Toyota.
