I saw my 1966 Chevy C-15 roll over to 00000 twice. It rolled 5 times befor some idiot stole it.

I always thought of the odometer rolling over as reading all zeros again? Now that cars come with million mile odometers, has any one seen one of those go back to all zeros?

 

[Dualie]

well i dont recall howmany went passed 100K

but 6 that went passed 200K

and 3 that went passed 300K

1 that went passed 500K

My old Olds Omega(81) had a 5 digit odometer in kilometers! I got it with 80,000km(it had all the maintenance records), took it up to 120,000 which read as 20,000km. Sold it to a guy and told him it had 120,000. A couple years later I see it in kijiji adverstised as having 45,000km...
I was tempted to go see it again and see if he remembered me and what he would say. He also wanted $200 less than he paid me and was still selling it certified.
Closest guy I know to rolling a million km odometer had 580,000 on a 98 dodge caravan. It was recently retired though.

When I had my '85 Toyota 4x4 I watched it roll 300,000. I sold it at 315,000. My Protege5 went past 100,000 a couple of years ago, electronic odometers aren't nearly as entertaining.

 

[eljefino]

My saturn rolled 200k when I was driving home from Motorcycle Safety Foundation class, having recently passed, on a crisp october day with leaves changing color and falling, and the sun was setting!!!

Apparantly the newer digital odometer saturns make it to around 680,000 miles then stop, having run out of "bits".

I had forgotten about my '87 Grand Am, it never technically rolled past 200,000, it stopped at 198,999. I believe the programmer knew that car would never go that far and didn't bother writing more code

If you mean "did I actually SEE it happen," I've only seen that 4 times- three with my '73 Satellite (the 200,000 and 300,000, and 400,000 rolls) and once with my '66 Polara (the 200,000 roll). Someone else was driving both of those when they hit the 100k. My wife was driving her Eagle Vision when it hit 100k and 200k.

I could list a number of other cars that went multiple 100k mile intervals, but those are the only ones that I can think of where I actually saw all the zeros roll past.

 

[Tornado Red]

Still have over 700,000 miles to go...

 

[RacerE7773]

My '93 Tempo had 42,000 when I bought it in '95 and 125,000 when it went to the scrapyard in '99. My '00 Cavalier had 5 miles on it when I got it in Nov. '99 and currently has 111,000.

Went over on Sunday while doing errands.....

At the current rate, my TL will be there late next year. Hard to believe since it's the first car I've bought brand new, I still think of it as a new car.

When my parents' 78 Monte Carlo was about to roll we all jumped in and drove it around the block to watch it. I was maybe 6 or 7 yrs old at the time. I think that's the only one I've actually witnessed.

'80 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, 5 digit odometer rolled over 4 times.
'00 Mitsubishi Pajero, nearing 300,000 km.

I don't consider watching a 6 digit odo roll over to 100k a "rollover".

To me an odo "rolling over" is when you see all zeros.

MOST of us will never see that, but many will see the one I posted about. That's why I asked, it's one that mnay have seen, so we can talk about it....

I'm with you.

Many moons ago, I was with my Mom when the odometer on her '66 Tempest rolled back to 00000. (100,000 miles)

326 with 2 speed auto in case anyone's interested!
