How many miles does your car have on it?

[Goathead]

Our Toyota Tacoma pick-up has 222,786 miles on it and it is a model 1998. I am trying to figure out how many more miles we can get out of her.

From Virginia to San Fransisco and back twice and then back to S.F. one more time from Va. to be shipped to Hawai'i.

I'm hoping to get 200K out of the car.

[mcscajun]

My last Sentra had about 85,000 on it when I traded it in on this one.

[miss_kitty]

14. 92 Honda Civic EX

less than 64,000

:)

[Beaverhausen]

37. WOW! My 92 Civic has 156,000

I hope it hangs in there till I get the Prius!

[kitkatrose]

49. Yay!! I'm not weird at all.

I have a '93 Civic LX with approx 70,000 miles on it. :party:

[forgethell]

15. 213768 miles

as of this morning. 1999 Toyota Corolla.

[Goldmund]

17. Fuck!

You're worse than I am. I had a '98 Honda Passport that I finally gave up in August -- it had 185K miles on it.

[forgethell]

27. My Toyota dealer

says one guy in town has a Corolla with over 350,000 miles on it. It's 18 years old. I wish. I love money going into the bank account rather than the car loan.

[Goathead]

20. Toyotas are awesome, I will never buy anything other than a Toyota.

Sweet, have you been doing a lot of road tripping?

[forgethell]

28. I commute

75 miles, one-way, each day. 750 miles per week.

[pmbryant]

16. Close to 110K

You're way ahead of me.

[Willy Wonka]

18. '04 Accord

16,700 miles...

[AlCzervik]

22. 04 accord also, 4,200 miles.

[Goathead]

24. Still got that new car smell I'll bet

Mine smells like dirty socks

[AlCzervik]

25. I have to keep my car clean and smelling good

it's part of being a realtor, the part i won't miss when i quit.

[Willy Wonka]

50. Heh. lost its new car smell

Already had a accident and repaired, and now my wife dinged the front bumper (d'oh!) and the back bumper was slightly dinged from an accidental backing into a yellow pole. Yes, after 1 month and two car washes, the damn paint is STILL in there!

[jobycom]

19. I had two cars with over 220,000 miles at the same time

An 89 Honda Civic with 235K, and a 91 Chevrolet Corsica with 223K. I sold the Corsica in 2001 because it overheated in traffic, but the engine was still pretty good. A lot of the fittings were dry-rotted, though.

The Civic had a burnt valve, and when I rebuilt the head, it smoked pretty bad, so I got rid of it. New rings, and it would have gone another 100K, maybe, though it the AC was gone on it, too.

I didn't take care of either one. I changed the oil every 10-12K miles, only gave them tune-ups when they started rattling, and only replaced filters and hoses when they positively wouldn't function any more. A little more care, and they both would have lived beyond 300K. Most of the mileage was highway miles, though.

A Toyota pickup should reach 300K without too much trouble, unless you tow large trailers with it. You can probably get more than that, if you keep the fluid and filters changed, and keep an eye on belts, hoses, fuel injectors and the like. A mechanic friend of mine periodically tightens and loosens all the bolts and screws he can reach, to make sure things don't come loose or freeze up. Especially the valve cover bolts, which loosen up over time and cause oil to blow under the hood.

TMI, I know. I'm just in a writative mood today.

[Goathead]

26. Thanks, and it isn't TMI

It is good to know I'll maybe able to get another 100,000 miles out of her.

[madinmaryland]

21. 45,000 on my Nissan Altima (2001),

and 7,000 on wife's Ford Focus (2004)

[pitt71]

23. My truck has

about 10,500.

[THUNDER HANDS]

29. 1995 Honda Accord - 69,000 miles

not bad, huh?

[qnr]

30. I donated a Mercury Topaz to a food bank, it had 342,000 on it.

Right now, I have a Yamaha Zuma scooter as my only means of transportation. Approaching 2 years old, it's at about 4,850 miles.

Edit: I bought the Topaz used, (it was a former fleet car) and it had close to 190,000 on it when I bought it.

[Goathead]

32. My friend has a Zuma

and it is his only means of transport too. Is your community "scooter friendly"? I know some places he takes his, he nearly gets run off the highway.

[qnr]

33. Pretty much so, surprisingly enough, for rural western Oklahoma n/t

[Tafiti]

31. I have a '93 Nissan Maxima w/ 102,000.

But before this, I had an '89 Honda Accord w/ 248,000 before I got rid of it, and was still running great when I did.

[nonny]

34. Almost 50,000

1993 Honda del sol with almost 50,000
I live a few blocks from work and I just don't drive very much now.:shrug:

[RUDUing2]

35. 91 camry has 120,000 and 94 bonneville has 170,000. nt

[baby_bear]

36. 1978 Triumph Spitfire; 54,000 miles

[Bertha Venation]

38. 95 Toyota Tercel, nearly 140k. Great car. n/t

[mwdem]

39. 12,000, I've had it for a year.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

40. About 45K

on my '94 Park Av. We used Hubby's car more until he sold it and got a moped.

[n2mark]

41. 54,000

on my 2000 red convertible Sunfire GT. This was a retirement present for myself. I always wanted a convertible, my children grew up, left home and I bought what I wanted. That's my baby!

[elfin]

42. 126,000 on 92 Lexus

(Got it in '95 with 60,000 on it) Only one "major" repair - somethng to do with a camshaft I think - total dumbo about cars - but it was cheaper to fix than lease a new one for even 2 months - so now am shooting for 200,000. It is purple (OK -amethyst) and I love it.

[Modem Butterfly]

43. 94 Volvo 850 Turbo 131,000

I'll drive this car 'til the wheels fall off. Which they almost did- I just had the CV joints replaced.

[fluffernutter]

54. mine is a '95 850, i love it! it has 64,000 miles on it.

my last Volvo lasted forever though, it was a 240 - we sold it after it hit 200,000 but it still ran like a champ :)

[MercutioATC]

44. 148k on my 1996 Honda Accord - 104k on my 1983 Porsche 911

[shesemsmom]

45. 10200

2004 Dogde Neon... that doesn't travel well in the snow;( :cry:

[libnnc]

46. 1993 Eagle Summit Wagon LX

159,000 miles and still ticking.:wow: I'm waiting for something to explode or fall off of it. Been through three timing belts, fixed tranny at about 90,000 miles and still running on the original water pump. Just put two new tires on it. No serious body damage, just a few car door dings. My little green monster gets me to UNC-Greensboro and back. I love it.

I want a bumper sticker that says "Don't laugh. It's paid for."
:evilgrin:

[koneko]

47. My 99 Altima

is just shy of 100k by a couple of hundred miles. It should turn 100 by the end of the year.

[udflyersfan]

48. I had a 1986 Chevrolet with 176K, and was hoping to get to 200K,

but it got totaled in an accident.

[nytemare]

51. 14,100 on my '02 Mustang GT

I bought the bugger used, with only 9400 miles on it in March. I lucked out with that.

[nini]

52. 1990 Nissan Maxima... 224,000

I got every penny out of this car.

[bigwillq]

53. My 2000 Nissan Sentra

[Kathy in Cambridge]

55. '98 Camry, 67,000 miles

it's a very reliable car.

Edited to add the Sienna is a 2003 and the Camaro is a 1999.
