How Many MILES on CARS . . . . . .

[Carsman]

. . . . . . . . . . . Have you driven your cars?


The most "miles" driven on a new car I bought (1977 Chrysler-Plymouth Horizon made in USA) was 137,400.

It still had the original engine, standard transmission, & clutch. (clutch still did not slip at all after all those miles) And still looked like it was in showroom condition!

Only things replaced were tires, breaks, & wiper blades. It still had the original "10" year old battery in it when I sold it to get a new car.

I knew the buyer, so I know the car was used trouble free (except for new battery) for 6 more years adding another 64,600 miles on it. The car seemed indestructible.
 
Then car was eventually sold to an unknown person. So lost touch with it.

So How many miles have you put on cars, and on what make?

You got more miles on a Horizon than most. I think the life expectancy on those are 50,000 right up there with a Pacer.

The most miles I have ever had was about 330,000 on a Mitsubishi Montero .

I sent that thing through jungles of brush. one of the first truly all electric accessorized vehicles. That was its downfall.

OMG
I have a Montero Sport with almost 300,000 miles on it. It is still running great!
But I normally would not drive a vehicle with so many miles on it.

Is it 4wd and does the windshield leak a little? They are built like a land rover with a bunch of compartments that you use to change parts. There is one under the back seat.

There's an old Beemer in the garage that has over a quarter million miles on it. It's not mine but I have driven it in the past. The guy at the shop says BMW stands for Bring Money With ya.

The most miles I've ever put on a car are on the car I have right now, it's on or about 60,000 and it's an Altima.

I have about 400,000 miles on me.
