Only 51,000 on my 98 Beetle. I try to take it easy on it, since I expect to own it forever. I (or my husband) have put all the miles on it. Our workhorse 99 Subaru has about 92,000 on it. We put about half of those on in 3 years. ---

I had around 284,000 on my 92 Ford Ranger before I gave it to my Dad last month and bought an '05 Ranger. I hope the new one is as good as the old one was. I have a thousand something on the new one. ---

165k on the Plymouth (all in my immediate family) and 195k on the Saturn (mostly done by the previous owner, a good friend of ours). Both are now semi-retired as we just got a new motorcycle and we live in the Land of Perpetual Riding Season. By “just” I mean a few hours ago. :: wanders off to go rub it with a diaper :: ---

over 182,000 on my 1989 Dodge Daytona CS Turbo. I’d have to check to see how many of those miles were put on in the past four or so years since I bought it. ---

'94 Ford Taurus, which I got at the end of 2002. It has about 88,000 miles, and I put 8,000-10,000 of those miles on there. I’m in college, so I walk to most of the places I need to go. ---

Just broke 40k on my 2000 Ford Focus the other day. Bought it about a year and a half ago with 28k on it already. Does what I need it to do (obviously I don’t drive much), but I still hate the durn thing. Don’t let any salesperson convince you that the Focus is comparable to the Jetta. I miss my little Jetta. ---
