What's the highest mileage you've ever gotten on an odometer?

[hckynut]

On a car I bought new that would be around 65,000 miles and that was when it was 26 years old. Now if you are talking about some of the "seasonal cars" I bought in years I would not drive my "for good new cars"? Bought them for the winter driving and sold them in the spring or summer. Highest mileage on 1 of them was 135,000 miles.

Oh, great thread! Just after my DS was born, we a bought a 2 year old toyota fourrunner. It has about 150,000 miles on it now, and in fact is in the shop today for a big tune up. It is by far the best car that DH and I have ever owned...we are planning on giving it to DS once he gets his license..the car is immaculate, except it will need a paint job due to the CA sun!

Oh the car is 16 years old....

When I was a broke single mom in the 90's I drove a Toyota that had over 275,000 miles on it when I finally sold it and got a newer car. That car was awesome and saved me lots of money.

I have a Toyota Corolla with 217,000.

Wow, Toyotas!

For those with cars with high mileage.......do you worry about being stuck in them? Isn't it more likely that high mileage equates to more repairs and break downs?

Yep! I know several people who had over 200k with Toyotas. One of the cars I drive now is a Toyota Prius and I love that too.
