civic with 256K
Currently driving an '09 Malibu with 126k.
Before that it was a '00 Ford Taurus with 200k+, and before that I was driving a '90 Geo Prism with 300k+ it was originally my parent's, the same car I learned to drive stick shift on. It was a Toyota Corolla clone, it even said Toyota right on the engine.
Patient, ".. Doctor says I have a subscription for stigmata.. Can you fill that?"
Me, "..Um.. "
Bought my '03 Rav4 with 96k in 2008, currently at 175k and counting.
1962 Volvo 122S... finally sold it in 1975 with 280+K on it and for $50 (odometer only went to 100K, and it re-started 2 times). I know that in 1993 it had been "restored" and was still on the road in Cornwall NY. Wish I had it now! The only issue I ever had with that car was the exhaust system... carried flex hose, an old blanket to lie on, and coat hangers in the trunk for emergency repairs. Also, if I remember correctly (as my parents owned only Volvos from 1958 onward, and I might be mixing up their many 944s), the gears were not synchronized, so you had to start all over from first, and downshifting was interesting.
P.S. I replaced it with a 1975 AMC Gremlin for about $2K. What a mistake THAT was!
Lost and confused in an optical wonderland!
I have a 95 Miata and just turned 275,000 still strong.
There are many things in life that catch your eye... but very few things will catch your heart.... Pursue those!
91 lexus odometer stopped working 2 years before I sold it at 290+K
98 lexus 280+K
Most extraordinary 2008 BMW M5 160K and still smooth at 160MPH
1976 Chevy Nova, straight 6, 279,000 +
I must be the big looser, I still have an old 1993 Town Car in my warehouse with 43,500 miles on it. It still looks and acts like new.
1995 Nissan Pathfinder 386K and still kicking it.
90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap
2004 Ford Windstar converted cargo mini-van. 310K+ miles on it
I rotate between 3 cars:
2001 Windstar 264k
2001 Wndstar 167k
2012 Honda Pilot 75k (bought new and use it only for trips)

1996 Camry V6 I bought new. Gave it to my daughter in 2006 and it gave out @ 270,000+ six months before she finished grad school. New experience to go car shopping with her and doing everything in our power not to let the salesman know that we HAD to buy a car TODAY! Love the Toyota's (Camry {gone}, wife's 2006 Avalon w/ 175,000, and my 2010 Tundra w/ 90,000). Couldn't find another Camry so she ended up with an Accord. Our mechanic, when asked by customers what they should buy says, "Toyota or Honda. We don't repair them, we maintain them."
Gee. I thought I was doing good with a 98 volvo s70at 208000. After reading some of these posts, Mine seems just broken in.
You guys make me feel like a a novice.
Not me, but my co-worker has a '98 Honda Accord she still drives to work with 375,000 miles on it. I had a '97 Accord, but gave it to my daughter when it had over 200,000 miles. She's still driving it here to work every day. My '03 Lexus has a young 125,000 on it.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
We just bought my 17 y.o. daughter her first car... A 1987 Honda Civic with 34,000 original miles. And no, I do not mean 134,000 or 234,000 miles. I was owned by a typical "little old lady" who averaged 1200miles/year. It still has a carburetor and crank windows. There is very little rust, which is amazing for here in central NY. She LOVES it! I can't wait to see how many miles we are able to put on it.
I thought you meant cars with the highest mileage per gallon. I've got two good ones...a 2010 Prius that gets right around 51 mpg city and highway. And a Mitsubishi iMiev electric that gets the an mpge of about 100.
I drive. 1986 Toyota 4Runner that just rolled passed 200k
2002 Lexus IS300 with 175k+ Small sedan with a BIG engine. Love it.
