I have a 1978 Datsun pickup with a least 200,000 miles. It may be 300,000 - I really don't know for sure. The ole boy I bought it from is kinda prone to blowing smoke. :D
I suspect 300,000 is closer to the truth.
And - it don't look new.

My '90 Ram Charger has over 300K and still runs like a top and burns white pipes. I've had to put very little into it over the years, but it's going to need a rear seal soon. Whur's the best place to get a rear seal change out done on a 318 ci?

I've got a '95 Dodge 2500 with the Cummins Turbo Diesel, it's got an honest 200,000 or so on it. The dash if falling in, the paint looks like crap, there's hail damage on it, but that engine just won't die.

My 1970 Chevrolet C-10 half ton had 158,000 on it when the odometer quit working in 1984 but those of you in the know remember everything on it is new but the paint job.

I had a Honda Accord as my first car, my parents bought it for me from my uncle, the only owner, with 230,000 miles on it and we sold it with 290,000 miles to some lady for her daughter to use as her first car. I loved that car and had hardly any problems with it. Just some routine maintance type things.
