87,600 on a 97 Pontiac Grand Am SE and I have just turned over to this mark.
I just take this car on errands, it was my grandfathers and he just used it for doctor’s visits and shopping.
A 2003 S10 with 188K on it. I bought it new with 24 miles on it.
I have a 32 mile (each way) commute and it’s been on several long road trips and fairly regular trips (every 8-10 weeks) to see the folks about 400 miles away.
My last S10 was given to a friend’s high school son to fix up when it had around 225K on it and the original clutch went out. He drove it for a couple of years before finding another beater to fix up.
Just over 200 000 miles - 16 year old Tercel. I love my car, but the damn thing won’t die!
I haven’t used it much in the past 3 years or so - I used to do 25 000km a year, now I did about that much in 3 years. The car is currently imitating a snowbank, though I’ll have to move it sometime this week.
I work in KM, but my 1.8 litre, 7 seat shitbox has about 131,000 miles (210k in proper measurements).
We’ve had it for almost 6 years.
here the average mileage is 14k per year, my first year we did 32k.
Big thing here is from end to end, this country is about 18 miles, and about 14 miles across.
62K on a Nissan Altima I bought used in October. It’s a pretty cushy ride.
This has bumped my '01 Subaru Impreza to backup status. 175K on its clock (pretty much every one put on by me) and it shows no signs whatever of imminent failure.
Really? There’s no alternate route that’s faster? I live in Dallas, and my commute’s just over 9 miles, and it’s about 30-40 minutes if I leave at 5 o’clock, and more like 20-25 if I leave at 4:30.
Hell, it was an hour and 15 minutes when I drove 35 miles each way, with about half in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Of course, that’s not taking the LBJ freeway; if I did that, it would easily take an hour, I’m guessing.
Oh… my pickup has just under 64,000 miles on it, and it’s 7 model years old. My wife’s car has around 300 miles on it (just bought it!)
Rural people get to drive more! I have a 1992 Toyota Corolla with 242000 miles (390000 km), and another car, a 2008 Ford Escape, with 112000 miles (180000 km). Gosh, that is a lot of fuel.
Just under 20,000 on my 2008 BMW 120d. The first owner barely drove it and I do less than 500 miles/month. Which means I only have to fill it up once a month. Which is good since 50 litres of diesel is a little over £70.00. Which is $8.65/gallon in US measures.
I’ll be passing 142,000 this weekend on a 2005 model.
219276.3 miles and 23 years on the Jeep I drive 150 per week for school (25 miles each way, 3x per week). The motor only has about 1000 miles on it though and those were all put on by me and my boyfriend. The other 218k miles were put on my the other owner(s).
My boyfriend’s car is a 2008 with about 115k miles on it (he used to drive from western MA to RI every day. Now he drives from central MA to RI every day).
I voted for the Jeep btw, since the car isn’t my primary.
Oh, crap, I just realized I voted in kilometers instead of miles. Uh, change one 100k-150k to 50k-100k. {Sheepish smile}
Last August my 1997 Acura with 213K miles on died and in an emergency I went a bought a used low-end Hyundai. In a few more months, once I am more secure in my finances, I will replace it with a new car - that I will run for 10 or 12 years.
I am really surprised that so far there are only two people over the 250k mark. I mean, I knew those would be rare, but not THAT rare.
why is it that surprising? cars generally have a “design life” of 10 years/150,000 or /175,000 miles.
I dunno. I’ve known a few people who had cars over the 250k mark. Didn’t think it was that rare.
I bought a used Saturn VUE a little over two years ago with 54k on it. I’ve put another 40k on it since, and will get it over 100k before the end of the school year.
I can’t wait to get rid of it. The AC compressor is blown out, and I can’t afford the $1400 fix right now. Once the heat starts again here in the Phoenix area, the car will be a nightmare to drive. It was miserable in August and September of the past year. Yech.
My wife and I are a MAJOR statistical outlier: 6 vehicles.
My primary is an 05 Subaru WRX STi with 94k on the clock. I plan a timing belt service at 100k miles, and a clutch at some other point…and then I plan on driving the sucker til the wheels fall off.
We have a 66 Cadillac with 57k miles, an 01 Avalanche with 70k miles on it, an 89 Vette with 130k miles on it (actually, about 12k miles on the driveline as it’s been partially restored), a 98 Vette with 60k miles, and an 05 BMW K1200LT motorcycle which will be my primary vehicle when the weather warms up with 35k miles on it.
The thing is, with the exception of the 98 Vette when bought new, all of our payments have been reasonably reasonable…we just pay off cars and never sell them.
As of yesterday’s fillup, our 5+ year old CRV has 73,802 miles (I checked the Fuel Log app on my phone).
Typo Knig’s Civic has about 135,000 miles - it’s 13+ years old.
Each of these was bought new by us, so we put all those miles on them. The CRV is the one we use for family outings since it’s larger and more comfortable. Plus I have a longer commute (25 miles each way, 3 days a week). Its predecessor was a 1996 Dodge Caravan, which I got rid of at 125,000 miles when it became unreliable enough to really worry me.
One of my two vehicles has over 250K - an old truck with 260xxx and still going strong. But it’s not my primary vehicle - that’s a minivan with about 140K, so that’s how I voted.
Just turned 98K, a 2003 BMW 325.
Been meaning to past it on down the line but just haven’t had the time to get a new one.
