I know this is not too impressive, but my 1990 Acura Integra has 141654 miles on it as of today…I hope I can get another 110k!
So what kind of car do you have and how many miles?

85 Chevy S-10. 215,000 and counting.
1995 Nissan Sentra which I have owned for two years now, approximately 74,000 miles on it. It had 63,000 miles when I bought it.
83 Mazda RX7, 96k miles…not too bad.

1994 Suzuki Swift GT (6901 miles on it when I bought it in 1996). 111,600 (or around there anyway).
So (cause I want to know), about 14957 miles/year.
I just got rid of a 92 Jeep Cherokee with 126000 miles on it and replaced it with a 03 Chevy Trialblazer that currently has 1200 (had 9 miles on it when I bought it and that included the test drive my wife and I took it on). This is the first new car I have bought myself.
'97 Ford Aerostar with 120,5xx.x
Last time I had it in for service, I asked the service guy how long I could reasonably expect it to last - he said to 200K easily, but I should start changing my oil every 3K vice every 5K. Since it’s paid for and since they don’t make Aerostars any longer, I’m going to do what I can to keep it as long as I can. I figure when repairs start topping what a car payment would be, that’ll be the time to let go.
Or if I win the lottery… either way.
'95 Toyota Tercel, almost 93k
2003 Chevy Avalanche - 6,500 miles
My current car ('97 Buick LeSabre), just hit the 70k mark last weekend.
My previous car ('82 Oldsmobile Delta 88) had 192k on it when I got rid of it. It still ran great, just needed about $400 worth of repairs, and I couldn’t justify spending $400 to fix a $300 car. So I traded it to my farmer uncle for a quarter of beef, he fixed up the car, and AFAIK still drives it to this day.
The b/f’s car, a '88 Sunbird just crossed 200k about a month ago. He drove it off the showroom floor in '88. It has started to have a couple problems here lately, mainly hoses and stuff like that, but we are planning on keeping it, probably until it dies, and then he wants to have a memorial service for it.
The other vechicle is a '86 Trooper with well over 200k on it, not sure since the odometer wasn’t working for a couple years while it made a trip to Mexico and a couple cross country trips. But alas it is currently in the shop getting a new engine.
2003 Honda Civic–938 miles.
'87 Jeep Cherokee with 237,897 miles on it.
His name, BTW, is Wild Bill Hiccup - does this fancy little herky-jerky dance if you try to push him up to the speed limit too rapidly.
