Members allthumz Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 1980 Mercedes 240D in 1998 the odometer stopped working with 198,000 plus miles. Probably has 300,000 plus but I can't confirm. :: -- )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 My 97 CRV had 210k miles before we finally gave it up last summer. I'm sure it's not the highest mileage on the boards, but it was a solid, reliable car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edremy Posted February 20, 2013 Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 Geez, my wife's Subaru isn't even in the running with 190k. I have to laugh when I hear people go on about how things were made better in the old days. Maybe some stuff was, but we've forgotten everything that wasn't. Cars used to be utter crap- when I was growing up in the 70s my folks had to buy a new one every 5-6 years since the things would rust through, blow up a transmission, or just plain fall apart. Making it to 100k was an achivement. Today? The Subaru is 14 years old and is still ticking along- it burns a little oil and is cranky on cold wet mornings, but I fully expect to get another 3-4 years out of it. When I bought my used Hyundai the dealer threw in a 10 year, 100k mile warranty on a four year old car with 62k miles. It's kind of an HCEG story- we all love reading about the beautiful antiques, then go play with the durable, cheap stuff available today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
