What's Your Mileage?

[Lethalchem]

Kilometres, mind you.

It's equivalent to about 230,000 miles. Still, that's way the hell more than anyone else has bothered to post, and I'm only the second to have answered the poll with 200k+ miles.

Is that supposed to be a good thing? I didn't know we were trying to see who's kept the same pile of junk the longest.

Prepare to be pwned.


This is my 1993 Jeep Cherokee:

This is my 1993 Jeep Cherokee's instrument cluster as of one year ago:

371,068.1

A guy that used to work for me has a silver Jeep Cherokee, and the odometer read over 460,000 miles, and the odometer stopped working over 2 years ago. I don't know how that thing still ran, it had the loudest knock I've ever heard in a car.

 

[Safe Speed]

Well my '94 SAAB already has 126,XXX miles on it and my '89 Shadow has 190,XXX on it.

This may come as a surprise to you, but a vehicle can be kept for over 10 years and 200,000 miles and be kept in tip-top shape.

But I guess, being a Ford owner, you would never get the chance to keep a vehicle more than a few years and 100,000 miles without it falling apart.

60xx miles on the 330 as of this morning. Had it almost 4 months now.

Wow, you've put some miles on that sucker, eh? But well worth it, right?

So how do you like it, CarbonFiber Man?

I'm interested to know how the new MazdaSpeed is as well.

The WRX has roughly 8200 miles on it. I bought it with 22 on the clock on Feb. 21st.

Every Single Mile Next weekend, we finally do the auto-x nasty. I feel like a teenager on prom night.

I tried to drive one of the new MazdaSpeed the day I was picking up the 330. The dealership also owned the Mazda franchise and they had a demo right next door. My buddies, also avid autocrossers, took turns 'shaking down' the new blood. I never got a chance to drive it before we left. Besides, after I started up the ZHP for the first time, I'd immediately forgetten it.

6000 miles since Feb? Man, you must not live in a very big town.

Awsome! Tell me how it goes. Also, what sort of tires are you running on?

8200

Whne I bought my first car my dad said that I'll probably drive about a thousand miles a month, so I figure anything over that is a lot. I pretty much only drive to work and back, but every once in a while I'll go out of town putting 50-150 miles on the car.

 

[LoudMusic]

Well, I clocked 190,000 today. Now the race is on to reach 200,000 by the end of the year.

 

[cardude2004]

My dad's old 1998 Honda Accord had 210,000 miles on it. His new Infiniti G35, which be bought, last year in March now has like 45,000 miles on it. Maybe more. I am not looking at it right now.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Current car is somewhere around the 50k mark. We got it with 36k on the clock.

My father has a '91 Suburban with 360k under its belt.

When I was taxi-driving I put 130,000 on a Ford Granada Scorpio in 18 months. That took it to 215k.

 

[MazKid]

My $1153 '94 Protege LX 5 speed has nearly 132,000 on it. Runs strong but needs some stuff(lots of little bits here and there). I'll post pics soon.

I was wondering what kind of mileage everyone else is driving, or what the most mileage is you've driven a car to?

My Neon is about to go over 90,000 and I expect to get about 150,000 out of it by the time my daughter is done with it. My wife's Neon had about 85,000 when it shuffled off this mortal coil through no fault of it's own.

My '67 Pontiac has about 270,000 miles on it, and the '80 Supra that my Neon replaced had about 230,000 on it when I sold it for $550 in 1995.

 

[T5-R]

My '93 Seat Ibiza has done around 63,000 miles, should really change the cam/timing belt.

My dads old Volvo 740 GL had done nearly 400,000 miles when he got rid of it.

 

[ExigeEvan]

My mum's Toyota Previa has about 80,000miles on the clock. She's doing about 8K (last year was nearer 10 though) a year, but she can't remember the mileage when we had it. The only problems we had were a burnt out clutch (caravan ) and the clutch is starting to go again, probably because we have been towing my auntie's caravan 'down west' recentley.

 

[Roo]

My Mini has 826xx miles on it, although I'm heading over Wales way at the weekend which should take it near the 83000 mark.

My mum's E230 Merc has over 212,000 miles; the previous owner was a taxi driver, thus providing most of that.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Where in Wales you heading?

Must have been rough giving up the supra !

 

[Duke]

Must have been rough giving up the supra !

Nah, not really. It was a MkI Supra, n/a 6 cylinder and a live-axle rear. Also the second-worst engineered car I have ever owned. Very very difficult to maintain. Even with 4-wheel discs it was tough to do a brake job on, and in the 5 years I owned it it went through 3 head gaskets, 2 involving cracked heads. It had a host of other problems caused by failure to age well, due to poor engineering.

It had plenty of pep, though, and oversteer on tap any time. But the Neons handle 'way better.

 

[PublicSecrecy]

This will kill all of yours: 1991 Mazda (cant remember the model ) with 1040072 kms!! we took it apart in auto...doesnt even start. We used to have a Saab and it had almost 400,000km's on it...we used to drive from Toronto (ish) to Vancouver to California...then got the Tercel! only about 20K on it tho.

Edit: Hey TTJ, did the '91 Mazda 626 ever come out with a sedan version? looks exactly like the one in ur pic...only 1000lbs lighter with no doors seats hood trunk or headlights lol

 

[WELZ2002]

I hit 15,000 miles yesterday, bearing in mind ive had the car 6 months!!!!!

 

[1X83Z]

17,000 in a little under eleven months.
