We're doing pretty good so far :thumbsup:

Was around 128,000 (and still running strong) in my 97 Achieva before it got toaled

The 99 Alero is at 73,000 (got it at 68,000 in May)

My bro's 92 Park Ave, I think has around 140,000 on it.

I have no idea what the mileage is on my Mom's 97 Bonneville

My dad's 2000 Impala has somewhere between 110k and 120k on it (rough guess).

My dad's 94 Park Ave had around 278,000 miles on it before problems started to happen and it got towed away.

I had a picture of my Riviera's odometer at 123,456.7 miles on my old cell phone, but unfortunately that photo (and phone) is now long gone. I'll be hitting 141,000 tomorrow in my travels. The Lincoln limousine has something like 62,031, I think; I drove it twelve miles from its former home to Sixty8's yard, which is more miles than the old girl had traveled in the past twenty years! The '67 Eldorado has around 118ish on it, but major work was done to the car at 80,000. Oh! And my 1939 Whizzer motorbike replica still has 91 and a half :lol:

I'm at 10xxx on the GTO... it hardly ever gets driven, anyone want to rent it while I'm at school so it doesn't sit all day? :P

I think the Maxx and TB are both over 20k but I really don't pay any attention, the Alero is somewhere in the 50k's I think, and the LSS is around 90k.

My 1985 Olds Cutlass Ciera Holiday coupe

*raises eyebrow*

Is this a special model? Not sure I remember the "Holiday" coupe.....

Hrmmm...highest to lowest, anyone?

previously owned...let's keep it to just the ones over 200K

1989 Ford Escort LX 4-door hatchback 1.9/5spd no AC 351,000 miles

1970 Ford F-150 Ranger pickup, 351W/4spd no AC 277,000 miles

1995 Buick Century Special 4-door sedan 2.2/auto AC 270,000 miles

1998 Ford Crown Victoria 4-door sedan 4.6/auto AC taxi 256,000 miles

1989 Buick Century Custom 4-door sedan 3.3/auto AC 238,000 miles

1988 Buick Century Custom 4-door sedan 2.5/auto AC 231,000 miles

1975 Olds Cutlass Supreme 4-door hardtop 350R/350 AC 225,000 miles

1989 Plymouth Voyager SE minivan 2.5/5spd AC 214,000 miles

currently owned

1998 Chevy Lumina 4-door sedan 3.1/auto AC 137,000 miles

1989 Chevy Celebrity 4-door sedan 2.5/auto AC 157,000 miles

To be fair, the Escort was bought with 345K on it and I only had it for a few months. The original owner drove 60 miles each way to work 5 days a week for 9 years plus weekend driving. I bought it from him in 1999 on an eBay auction for $202.51 and sold it for $600 when I realized I couldn't take a non-AC car to Texas with me. Stupid move. That thing never had anything done to it except for one driveaxle around 295K. Original clutch and engine and transmission. He changed the water pump and timing belt every 60,000 miles, the oil every 5,000 miles, the coolant every 30,000 miles, and wrecked it three times. The only thing I had to do to it was change the ignition module, $40 part, $5 tool, 30 minutes of work. I was delivering pizzas one night and when it was time to go home it would not start. A little internet research revealed that it's common for that module to die because of heat, especially when idling a lot, and I always let it run through my shift. Didn't leave it running all evening after that.
