How many miles ya got?

[97f150]

2005 F150 4.6 liter- 91,000 miles/ bought with 70,000 miles
Only repairs since I owned it besides maintenance is front calipers. The drivers side one cracked some kind of way and became situated in a way that held pad against roter.

2002 Ram 1500 4.7 liter- 115,500 miles/ bought with 110,000 miles
Repairs since owned- upper and lower ball joints replaced. Battery replaced.
Currently having an issue with master power winder switch. Will look into it when it irritates me enough, which it is getting close.

341000 Kilometers, or about 212000 Miles (for our American friends) on my 1995 Tercel. Dropped a new motor in at 270000 due to excesive smoking, and new.... well almost everything. Brakes, rotors drums pads shoes done, clutch, gas tank, alternator, radiator, 3 water pumps, parking brake cables (now the replacement cables I installed 3 years ago are seized), full new exhaust, struts, motor and transmission mounts, new fuel injectors, AC repairs, fixed some major collision damage and I know there's more that I don't remember at the moment, plus ALL the regular maintenance jobs done religiously.

A lot of stuff has needed replacing over the years but this car has never left me stranded, always starts, is SOOOO easy on gas and is pretty simple and straightforward to maintain and repair.

As long as it doesn't get in an accident I figure I'll get another 5 or so years out of it.

2002 Maxima with 87k miles. I've had it less than a year so I don't know previous repair history. In the 9 months that I've had it, the only thing non-wear related that needed replacement was a rear O2 sensor. Hope to get many trouble free miles from it.

1989 Honda Accord SE-i 217,055 miles

 

[ThirdeYe]

161,119 on the Integra as of right this minute.

 

[JHZR2]

A few with 100k, a few with 200k miles. Two with only 50k and one at 17k.

The 200k cars are a toyota previa and a bunch of MB diesels.

126,000 miles 1997 Chevy Malibu LS. The first year for this all new model with some teething problems. Besides normal stuff like fluid, filters, battery, front brakes etc., alternator at around 50K, defective strut mounts around 100K and driver's side tie rod end. I replaced the lower intake manifold gasket a little late around 118K and the fuel injectors just because they seemed clogged and cleaning them on the rail didn't get them perfect, but everything else FI related on the motor is original. Waterpump at 124K. It actually runs better now than when it had less 20K on it and uses no oil.

 

[2002 Maxima SE]

2000 Ford Taurus wagon = 103k miles
2002 Nissan Maxima = 82k miles
2004 Subaru Forester XT = 76k miles


The Taurus has new plugs, filters, fluids, overflow tank, 1 coil and some hoses (we bought it at 90K and it had never had anything but oil changes!). The Maxima and Forester haven't had any major items changed out (new filters/fluids/pads over the years).

We had 257,000 on my wife's 93 Vision TSi that we sold last year. Probably the lowest repair cost per mile (accounting for inflation) of any car I've had.

Got about 450k on my '73 Plymouth Satellite, though that includes a trans rebuild (due to coolant getting in through a failed in-radiator transmission fluid cooler) and some engine work at 200k due to the original timing chain slipping.

270k on the old '66 Dodge Polara before I retired the original 383 and built a 440 for it, another 25k since then.

All my stuff has pretty low miles.
I did however have a 91 S-10 Blazer that I put 270,000 miles on it. (1) water pump (1) oil pressure switch (1) fuel pump when I ran it dry

and (1) intake manifold gasket at 180,000.
My 01 GTP, had 220,000 on with pcm, smaller s/c pulley, headers, 1.8 roller rockers, exhaust and CAI. Ran 13.80's. I did (1) water pump (1) power steering pump and the Transmission finally GERNADED at the track with 190,000 miles on it. The Blazer and th GTP of course needed brakes and normal maintenance.

The worst car I have ever had the pleasure of owing...
I married into an 02 Jetta TDI. 80,000 miles when we sold it. She bought it new and we met when it had 6000 miles on it. Both front wheel bearings, (2) Automatic transmissions (2) bouts of Carbon build in the intake (2) sets of glow plugs (1) set of injectors (2) injector wiring harnesses (3) nuetral park safety switches which left us stranded and host of other stuff I can't or don't want to remeber. I rarely even drove it and we maintained that thing better then any car we have ever owned.

1997 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L OHV Auto (129k miles) (Mine): Transmission (120k Miles), Balljoints/struts (124k miles), Alternator (129k Miles), Air Intake/Air box hose (126k Miles). Belt tensioner (30k miles) and it is going again needs replaced eventually. A/C is gone, needs a new compressor (probably going to get those in late spring).

2003 Ford Expedition 4.6L XLT (57k Miles): 3 Ignition coils (all about 45k miles), alternator (15k Miles), driver seat power control module (27k miles), Fuel Pump (55k miles), rear HVAC floor/ceiling door motor (49k miles).

The Malibu has almost 77,000 miles.
The Dakota has 58,000 miles.
The Ranger has almost 18,000 miles (not a typo, my Dad was the legendary "Little Old Lady from Pasadena who only drove to church on Sunday"....
The Cobalt has slightly over 2100 miles. This is my toy so it's probably going to be very low mileage over its life.

 

[speedyswede]

see the sig.

The engine has never been apart. I'm on my 2nd transmission though. Aside from the occasional electrical gremlin, its been fairly solid and reliable. I just finished a $800 rear suspension rebuild(all poly bushings/HD coils/Bilsteins). The ride is now very firm, but I like it that way.

 

[addyguy]

Car in sig, mileage up to date.

Recurring problems have been 2 windsheild replacements due to rusting of the frame, and a few muffler strap replacements due to rust.

It's now getting to the point where it's starting to need work (needs suspension bushing BAD), but it just keeps chugging along.....

Our current fleet:

92 Olds Silhouette minivan - The Plastic Anteater. 3.8, 257K+. Replaced water pump myself at least 4 times. Leaks badly around front windshield, headliner ruined, held in place with upholstery pins front to rear. Had heater core replaced many years ago. Original alternator. Transmission going South, not going to fix.

98 Sable, Vulcan 3.0, 205K+. Recent head gaskets. Years gone by: alternator, starter, struts all around, completely new A/C system, rear suspension bushing, brakes so many times I've lost count, car hit in accidents 3 different times.

94 Geo Prizm, 167K+, our low mileage car. Timing belt, water pump.

 

[kschachn]

1999 Toyota Sienna (infamous 1MZ-FE no less), 208,000 miles. Nothing replaced except the timing belt and battery, plus the water pump during the second timing belt change. I might have well left it in place however as it was pristine. Short OCIs on this engine (approx. 5000 miles) and either M1 or GC with Denso filters. Mostly city miles.

2000 Toyota ECHO, 153,000 miles. Nothing replaced on this engine, not even the battery. Just plugs, air filter, etc. Mostly highway miles. The transmission had a bad output shaft bearing which I replaced myself and one bad wheel bearing.

 

[wander2039]

Driving my dad's Festiva with 210k right. Only maintenance items. Timing belt, and the front end has been rebuilt. Control arms, tie rods, all boots etc. No oil consumption and still 40+ mpg. He's had it since 80k.

Our Escape has 90k. Had to have the AC recharged when we got it. The seat belts replaced a little later other than that the best vehicle I've ever owned.

 

[rszappa1]

Just turned 90,000 on my 07 Accord...

 

[ShiningArcanine]

My 1995 Toyota Avalon XLS has 132843 miles on it.
