my 83 mercedes 240 diesel currently has 300,000 plus miles on the body, and 100,000 plus on the new engine.. id say thats pretty damn impressive

Ford Pickups

93-97 body style Ford pickups...

We've got 3 of em, one 96 F-150 with a 5.0, a 95 with a powerstroke, and a 93 with a 5.8 (currently undergoing a complete rebuild due to a wreck)

These damn things LAST! Heck... buy em at 200k, cause they're just gettin broke in!

my 1989 mazda 626 has 235k on it and it still runs

(not my current car)

There's a good number of I-6 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesels in the Dodge Ram's with over 1,000,000 miles on them.

Pretty much all diesels will last longer than gas motors because they are built much stronger to handle the higher compression.

Whatever you do, change the oil... When i bought my 86 monte ss, the guy before me probably changed the oil about 5 times in the engines life... Needless to say the 305ho is sitting in some junkyard and i have a tasty fresh 350 in there with lots of love

my friend has an 87 yota, just rolled over 300k miles, then the block cracked. cj's are great friend has one and he has only had to change leaf springs master cylinder an, rebuild carborator. pretty good for an old 78.

1988 volvo 240dl

278k miles

my old car... would have been still around if i didn't drift around in the snow... lol

it ran without engine oil half the time.. the beater would heat up and still run..

1990 bmw 525i

180k miles

my older car... would have been still around if i didn't drop the tranny...

so it's pretty much these cars will last.. mine did until my stupidity..

I'm not going to specify any single make because most new vehicles will go well past 200,000 with regular maintenance.

89 Safari 4.3L, 460,000 when it put a rod through the pan, plus an 83 Diplomat with the leaning tower of power and 370,000 on the clock still going strong.

my friends grandpa had an el camino and the milage counter went past the max, at least 4 times.


beat that!

I just recieved an 83 GMC Caballero from my grandfather from Mississippi ( = No rust) with 354,724 miles and it looks brand new. I love GMC.

[anonymousbill123]

haha.

my dad has a 2002 chevy silverado with a duramax diesel...it is expected to last about 300,000 miles.

my mom drives a 1990 suburban and its at about 180,000 miles and still running great.

A guy on my street has an old toyota tacoma with almost about 385,000 miles.

Bet ya go through some head gaskets on that thing though

Who ever decided to put aluminum heads on a diesel should be shot!

my 1998 volvo s90 has 182,000 and it runs perfectly- i expect it to last to 300,000

steering is tight and smooth
brakes are responsive

i would honostly guess it had 20,000 on it if i didnt know the true milage

one of my old friends' parents both had volvo station wagons, one had over 120,000- still ran perfectly

from my experience- hondas and volvos last forever
