1997 Mercedes C-class, 54k miles. Since my primary mode of transport is a bicycle I don’t think I’ll ever get it up to 60k. Three years in a row I’ve had an ‘advisory’ on my MOT test, warning about tyre wear, but the garage didn’t want to change them since they’re still legal and I apparently still had “a good few months on them”.
I probably do more more miles on the bike than in the motor, but there’s the odd friend’s wedding in Scotland :mad:
that bumps the car’s milage up a bit.
Judging from the evenness of the spread, this is a fairly egalitarian place after all.
'01 Subaru Impreza, 168K on the clock, will need brakes and tires soon but otherwise fine.
The high mileage of many of the vehicles mentioned is interesting to note as well. Seems to me back in the '60s and '70s, cars were mostly used up around 70K miles or so, especially in the Northeast where I grew up, due to salt-caused corrosion.
I have a 2005 Corolla that I bought July 2004. My husband and I bought our cars on the same day - our previous cars tanked within days of each other.
My car has about 113,000 miles on it.
1997 Acura Integra. 208K Miles I will soon need to replace it, I fear.
I drive 3 miles a day to the train station. 2002 Nissan Sentra with just over 60K. I just realized I bought the car almost 9 years ago in July. I figure on getting 75-80K before I decide I want a new car, so 2-3 more years with this one before I can justify spending the money on a new car.
1993 Saturn SL2. It’ll be 18 this year.
To put that into perspective, the company’s gone out of business, but the car’s still here. Recently put some work into it, so it has some new parts, including new-ish tires and a brand-new ignition.
I don’t especially consider it a quality car, though. I had to have the engine cylinders re-bored while it was still under warranty, which doesn’t scream “quality” to me. but I have a good mechanic and the soul of a skinflint, so if considered application of the Necromantic Arts can keep it running, we will.
I’d just like to brag that as of 189 Voters
---- **2000 20 10.64% **
is the only double-digit percentage group.
It’s great to be in the company of 2000 model patrons.
Toyota Yaris Hutchback Terra (which means it has one and a half ponies, rather than some horses), and it was a demo (which means it had 10K km and they were from being a rental). It now has about 110K km and stickers from Swiss highways (2007) and from Spanish-law-required checkups from three different provinces (Álava, Navarre and Seville).
1997 Ford Contour with 147,000 miles on it. Gets a steady 35 - 36 mpg, and is still on the original clutch. Finally had to do my first brake job at 145,000. Sparky little car and I love to drive it. Hope it lasts until I can’t drive any more. At 81 YO this might not be more than ten years or so.
I lease a 2008 Saturn Aura that I like very much, but it’s down to its last few weeks of the lease period, so I’ll be getting a new car soon.
2003 Chevy S10.
Right now, I’m car shopping. The truck has 172K on it and the AC is dying a slow, painful death (not a good thing here in the south) and if I keep it much longer, it will need new brakes all around. Other than that, it runs like a champ, getting ~31 MPG on my daily commute of 64 miles (combo both ways).
I’m hoping to decide on a car within the next couple of months. I’m looking at the Yaris, Versa, Fiesta, Accent, Cube and Rio. Any suggestions or recommendations?
Mine is a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix (just the standard model, not the GT with the supercharger). I have about 106,000 miles on it and most of them are mine. It’s roomy, sporty and works great with our two toddlers.
My wife (stay at home mom of twin three-year-olds) has a 2000 Buick Park Avenue with just over 100,000 miles on it. Looks like grandpa’s ride, but is perfect for hauling the little terrors and all their gear around.
:dubious: With a name like that, can we guess you are not happy with the car?
1997 Nissan Sentra, a shade under 67k miles, and only that much because when I bought it, I didn’t have the use of my left leg and had to drive to work for a while. (We are both public transit commuters.) A few years ago it had what the mechanic called a “midlife crisis,” and I half-considered giving it up and buying something that actually has a bit more leg room for Tom Scud, but it’s been awfully nice not having a car payment all this time.
All the same, the next time it needs really major work, or if some other chick with no license hits me head-on and leaves me needing $2400 in body work, it’s probably curtains for my baby. I was lucky the insurance company didn’t toal it the last time; applying for a mortgage and a car loan at the same time would have sucked.
Last week I traded my 2000 GMC Jimmy with 174,000 miles for a 2011 Nissan Xterra with 8 miles on it. This is my first brand new car and it’s pretty exciting (love thy smell).
Not yet my primary car, but it will be, right now she’s being restored (oh WAY too sloooooowly though, I can’t afford much at a time). My dad got me this car for a combination HS grad/Xmas present.
This is what kind of car she is.
“Truli” is her name, she needs some beautification before she returns to looking this good though. 
My transportation car is a 1994 chevy p/u. But I don’t drive it that often. Just shopping usually. I live on the light rail line in Seattle.
Perhaps more important or just as important, how much mileage?
My friend has 212,000 on her Honda Accord and it’s still going strong.
I’m at a measly 114,000 miles on my Dodge Caravan. I’m hoping to get close to 200,000 before I get a new car.
Start a poll 
I’m thinking about starting a poll on how many miles we put on each normal week.
I do about 300 miles.
I had 285,000 kms on my 87 Ranger before I dumped it a couple of months ago.
2002 Renault Scenic. Aske me again, early August and it will be 2011 Opel Corsa.
2000 Chevy Venture minivan. It was my dad’s & I inherited it when he passed on. It has about 80K miles on it, and this spring I had brake work done & new tires put on. >knock wood< she runs great.
