I just changed the radiator on my van to get it ready for towing my trailer, wife and kids over the Rockies again and noticed I am at 268,700km. Can anybody top that? Its a 1991 Dodge Grand Caravan.

had a 84 vw rabbit gti with 382k on it - still ran strong!

my sister had an 88 honda civic sedan with 485k on it - the body gave out long before the engine did (ontario car)

and a question for you pathfinder owners - is reliability as good as they say? looking to pick up a 95 with 175k on it.

thx,
rico

I have a propane car right now.
It is my family's third propane car.

We once had an old police car, that the PD didnt use anymore and so they sold them off.
Totally the fastest car I have ever driven, and it even had the shotgun holder still in it, I guess they didnt take it out hahahah

My 93 S10 has 160,000 km on it.

On a somewhat related note, when I used to work the highways and do road checks, the odometers on the trucks we used rolled completly over. We had one '90 F150 that had 2000 km on the odometer, but it rolled over twice.

Anyone know what odometers roll over at? Is it 999,999?

most older NA vehicles didn't have the 6th digit and rolled over at 99,999
so it probably had >200,000 on it.

No, these had at least 6 digits. They weren't that old.

You guys are jinxing me with this thread.

I was going to post my Durango is at 165,000 km and Mrs. Cowperson's Acura SL is at 145,000 when she phoned me up this afternoon and said a dealership nearby was selling brand new 2003 Laredo's "cheap!!" Not a kilometre on them!!"

I said: "Well, how do you know they're cheap?"

"Because the sign out front said so!!"

Yeesh. <_<

I just rolled over 152,000 on my 1996 Ford Mustang. Which reminds me that I need an oil change!

As well I don't know why everyone seems to hate Ford. I have had my car now for one year, and I have yet to have a problem. There is no leakage, nothing falling apart and it's surprisingly great on gas. The guy I bought it from kept a log report of the car on everything he has ever done to it. Very few thigns on there except a new rear bumper from a fender bender. Why is Ford given such a hard time?
