nope, i had a 2001 caravan with a MILLION miles on the original everything… i didnt even change any fluids evarrrrrr!

just kidding.

I did work a job in college where we sold conklin convoy oil and we had a customer with a fleet of dodge 1500 work vans that all had over 300k on them. all original. only thing they changed was belts and hoses. the highest had 475k on it and it BEAT HARD. the driver eventually got fired for getting speeding tickets.

My old '95 Geo Prizm. It got to about 262k before I drove through EA when the terrible construction was going on and broke a spring and decided it wasn’t worth fixing.

I thought cars start breaking after the warranty is up. I would trust that car for reliability over a new car, I’d say at 2,600,000 miles it’s safe to safe it’s not a lemon.

^I wonder how he kept track of the miles, there are only 5 digits on the odometer.

I recall seeing a story online about a taxi driver in Europe/Middle East with a Mercedes Diesel with well over 2 million miles.

EDIT: [http://www.expatica.com/de/news/local\_news/last-ride-for-mercedes-taxi-withbr46-million-kilometres-on-clock--12033.html](http://www.expatica.com/de/news/local_news/last-ride-for-mercedes-taxi-withbr46-million-kilometres-on-clock--12033.html)

Not the original engine, but still pretty impressive. Retired it with 2.8 million miles

highest mileage vehicle i had was a '92 dakota v6 auto 2wd. had like 208k on it with probably 40k in burnout miles. original everything. just would not die. off roaded it, burnouts and donuts everywhere, rammed it into snowpiles and used the excavator to drag it out…i finally ended up getting a ticket for loud exhaust after a week or so because the y pipe fell off and i didnt feel like fixing it so i had the junkyard pick it up.

current daily has 183k but you would never know it looking at the car…i plan to have atleast 300k on this before it gets replaced
