Old Cars - What Your Mileage?

[Kamei]

Our 2002 Honda CRV (Purchased used in 2003), just hit 300,000 miles. We love this car! Just wondering what other high mileage cars folks are still driving?

Our 2010 Traverse has 96,000 miles on it.
We need to start driving more.

 

[Gumby]

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid - 238,000 miles in almost exactly 9 years of driving it, and still going strong.

 

[capjak]

2003 Honda Pilot 171000 miles

 

[euro]

2009 Subaru Outback - 140K miles. Most of those were commuter miles as I ER-ed in April of this year. Now, miles are accumulating much more slowly, so this car may last another decade or two

Low mileage drivers here - 2011 Honda CR-V 52K miles, 2011 Buick Lacrosse 49K miles.

Never have put that many miles on our cars; first job out of college was a 45 minute commute on a good day and I swore from that point on to not do that again, which I didn't other than short term. We average about 6k miles a year on each car. 2015 BMW has 13k, 2011 Siiverado about 32k. We'll do road trips of 6 hours or so but anything more and we fly.

2004 Subaru Forester 96,XXX miles. At almost 13 years old, it has started to feel a little old this year but with the relatively low miles I can't justify an upgrade yet.

You guys are good! Do you do long road trips with those cars?

2004 Acura MDX: 118k
2009 Honda Civix: 96K

DH has been obsessive about the regular maintenance of both. We planned to replace the MDX this past year with a Honda CRV or an Acura RDX but we didn't really like either of them enough to make us pull the trigger. So we just put new tires and aligned same on both and new brakes on the MDX and both drive like they are brand new. I would love to drive west to use our National Parks pass with one of them but worry they might be too old.

2002 Subaru Impreza, 44,000 miles. I live close to work and bike or walk in some of the time. We use a van for road trips. We had three vehicles until a few years ago, so that further kept Suby in the garage.

Recently passed a 1997 Camry to our son. 220K miles.

2006 Accord. 105K miles. Expect to keep it for at least another 10 years. It is only used 7-8 months of the year.

I drive a 1999 BMW 528, just turned 120,000. Build date was 10-23-1998, so that makes it 18 years old. I've been babying that car the last few years, but if you keep up with the oil changes......it will run forever. This is probably the last car I'll buy.

 

[ExFlyBoy5]

09 Infiniti G37: 95K. Still looks and drives like it's new and will drive it into the ground.

12 Toyo Highlander: 55K. Still looks new but has too much 'Tupperware' in the interior, so squeaks way too much. My DW primarily drives the Toyo and it doesn't bother her...so, will keep it around.

 

[LauAnn]

2007 Chevy Cobalt - 68,000 miles.

 

[Just_Steve]

2010 Corolla 216,000 miles. I retired last December and have only put on about 4,000 in that year.

 

[ERD50]

2002 Subaru Impreza, 44,000 miles. ...

Now you are talkin' my language!

Just traded in my 2000 Volvo S40, 16 years old, 79,000 miles!

Had a close commute when working, mostly used DW's car for longer trips.

For the replacement, I wanted all the new safety features, but that usually meant top-of-the-line trim, and far more $ than I wanted to spend. Hard to justify when I drive so few miles. Though the new car will be the main one now, so a few more annual miles expected. And there aren't that many new cars for my remaining time on this earth!

2003 VW Jetta TDI - This morning I read 304,890 miles and still running great. Still gets near 50 MPG if you drive it right. Runs on diesel fuel (no batteries).

Took a trip last week to Waco, Texas and set the cruise at 75 MPH (speed limit) and calculated 45.5 MPG for the 450 mile round trip. I did a suspension refresh this year on it but we are still on the original engine and transmission (5 speed). Still doesn't use much oil (1 liter in 10,000 miles).

Low mileage here: My 2007 Corolla has 31,000 miles.


My previous car, a 1992 Geo Prism, had 60,000 miles when I got rid of it in early 2007 (replaced by the Corolla). I should add that the Prism had 10,000 miles when I bought it in early 1992. It was a former rental car which had been in service for 6 months in 1991. This means I put 50,000 miles on it in 15 years.


I rode the trains to work for 23 years and for nearly all of those years I walked to the LIRR station. So the car didn't move, sometimes for the whole week if I didn't go out at night during the week. Tough to put miles on a car which remains in place.

'97 Miata, just over 66,000 miles. It's a fair weather car, and not for very long trips anymore either.

 

[ls99]

98 GMC 210K. Can only use at camp now. The wonderful policy of bare pavement in winter using whatever chemicals have chewed up the frame. No longer road worthy.

95 Jaguar 156K.
99 GMC Suburban 120K
06 GMC pickup 126K

Around here frames go before driveline. There are many 50-75 K vehicles pm craiglist parting out with rusted out bottoms.

 

[Live And Learn]

99 Jeep Wrangler - 124,500 miles. When people a 4'10 woman jumping out of a Wrangler they tend to do a double take. I love my Jeep and would never consider giving it up.

 

[SecondCor521]

93 Lexus GS300 147K.

 

[Bamaman]

2003 Ford F250 diesel crewcab--115K miles in 14 years. At this rate, the engine's going to wear out when I'm 105 years old.

2008 Lexus IS250 with 105K miles. High quality car that's never seen the shop--except for brakes. Capable of another 9 years and 100K miles without a rattle.

2014 Explorer XLT with 50K miles. Our current road car. Great vehicle.

When one gets of retirement age, they often have to stage out their major purchases--like automobiles. At this time, I'm planning on driving all these vehicles for the long run.

I was never able to get a car to such high mileage. Something always happened at around 150K miles or less, and the car was junked.

Right now, my wife's 2003 SUV is sitting in the garage with 26,000 miles on the odometer. Every so often, we take it out for a grocery run instead of using our smaller car.

2007 Lincoln MKX 130,000.
