[NeTree]

348,672, and still going...

'86 Honda Accord.

 

[jonseredbred]

99 silverado, 267,900 and climbing. looks like new 23 MPG

 

[hobby climber]

1989 full size 4X4 Blazer w/350 , -263 000km doing just fine!

Last truck was a 1986 Ford F-150 step-side. 408 000km Sold it for $1500 and the guy who bought it still driving it today. It had an in-line-six 300 motor. HC

Wife's '92 diesel Jetta has 545,000 km on it, but I did drop another engine in at about 513,000. Old one still ran okay but hard to start due to bad compression. Engine was very rebuildable, but by the time you buy pistons, get the block bored, etc, costs get high.

If you want to talk trucks..............
Last big truck I had (K100 Kenworth) was a 1981 glider kit built from a 1977 wreck. I bought it in 1986, and by the time I sold it in 1993, I'd put about 700,000 miles on it. Figure it had to be close to 1.5 million.
My 88 3/4 ton 4 door GMC is "powered by Perkins". Truck shows about 240,000 Km, eingine went in the truck with a fresh rebuild at 140,000 km. Driveline originally came from a 1966 Dodge PD600. Engine wore out the dodge, then went in a 1980 1 ton Silverado in 1981. I bought the silverado with a body completely finished (rust) been through at least two big body jobs, not sure of the miles. Stuff will last if it's looked after!:greenchainsaw:

Wish I had a diesel Jetta... They're so dang expensive! I want to buy a Jetta so bad, but I guess I'll have to go with gas.

1984 VW Jetta TD 100,000 miles. Runs great. bought it off an elderly person a year ago. Tweaked the pump a bit!!:taped:

 

[1wildthing]

It's not mine, but I know a guy that has an old kenworth with over 10 million miles. He - read as "his employees" - now only runs it local. (within 300 miles or so) It is probably several million over that by now. After it was around 10 times they quit counting!!

Trusty old Toyota 4X4 (Orwellian tool truck)

I bought my toyota 4X4 brand new in 1984, and customized the snot out of it
gearing, wheels and tires, good american steel leafsprings front and back, winch, diamond plate aluminum toolboxes etc.

Just turned 475,000 miles yesterday. Original engine? Not!
More like engine#4 , Clutch#6, I mean after all this is a work truck, totally overloaded, abused by having to push 8 or 9,000 lb turbo 1800 chippers around off road.

I'm sentimentally attached to it now, so I'll keep putting engines and whatnot into it until one of us dies, or I get rich enough to afford a new Unimog.

[oldsaw]

My two "biggies"

90 VW Jetta 195K before I sold it.
98 VW Jetta 235K before I had to sell it. Boss insisted I get a new car. I wanted 300k before I got rid of it. Never broke.

Also put 175,000 on a 73 Ford Galaxie. The three best cars I've ever owned.

Just turning 100k on my '04 Passat Wagon, be close to 150k by the end of next year.

High Mileage Cars

1985 Saab 900: 222,000 miles
1984 Saab 900: 287,000 mile
1991 Saab 900: 313,000 miles

Each Saab attained their respective miles on original engines and transmissions. Each car was still running strong, averaging approx. 30 mpg when handed to the next owner and each could easily top over 100 mph. The 1984 was beaten so mercilessly, I went out of my way to try and get the thing to burn oil, all to no avail. The car, to this day, is probably still running.

According to Saabnet.com, there are 50+ Saabs with over 1/2 million miles! One with 920,000 miles! GM, however, put an end to this.

High Mileage Cars

Just now read online (Newsweek.com) some guy got one million miles on his 1989 Saab SPG. It now sits in some car museum--although according to the owner--might have got another million miles from it.

 

[dieseldozer]

My 96 GMC(6.5 Turbo Diesel) has 271,xxx miles, and runs better than the day it was new! Hoping for a lot more!

 

[arboralliance]

Well...

Had a Mitsubishi 415 tip truck with over 600 000 Klms (365 853 miles for Clearance)...

Have a Ford Falcon EF 1998 model sedan with 522 000 Klms (sorry Clearance thats 317 073 miles) just had the dizzy, brake booster and head done, now getting 600 klms out of a tank of LPG 65 litres so approx 10 klms per litre (Darn, oops, thats 365.85 miles out of a 14.77 gallon tank or 24 miles per gallon on LPG, oh I pay around 50c AUD a litre for LPG, $2 AUD a gallon or $1.80 CAD per gallon...)
