My 1995 Lincoln Town Car turned over 200K miles today! Interior still in excellent condition, everything (except cruise) works, NOT one speck of rust. Does burn a little oil (valve seals - will sometimes smoke a little when you first accelerate if you idle for an extended period- very common on these cars and the torque converter in the tranny will shudder a little bit under certain conditions (for the first 10 miles when its first started when going 25-35 mph on a slight grade- after it warms up and at all other speeds its fine). Other than that its going just fine and has been extremely reliable. All of the windows work, as well as the A/C. Its just a "5-day a week driver" work car and 90% of it is now used on the interstate, so hopefully it will last me awhile longer. I do put about 500 miles per week on it.

Alright, I've been waiting until it was official, turned over 200,000 today in my 2000 Acura Integra. I've had it just a couple weeks shy of 12 years, was brand new when I got it. Drove all 200k miles myself, well, just about (others have driven the car a few times).

My friend at work was given a '99 Chevy Malibu for free and only had to pay for some repairs to the tune of $1200 to get it running again. That was like 150,000 miles ago. He has over 300,000 miles on the car and I always thought those were a POS.
My friend had his 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner since new & finally stopped driving it with 400,000+ miles. & he didn't put huge amounts of money to keep it running.
I saw a '70 Dodge Charger with a 383 engine at a car show about 10 years ago with over 400,000 miles at a car show. Also a '68 Chrysler 300 with over 400,000. So they are out there!
I bought a '95 Camaro V6 yesterday with 182k miles. I plan on giving to my nephew when he turns 16 next year. It has a brand new a/c system, and other than needing new struts and shocks it drives great. Hopefully it'll last to at least 250k.
I had a Mazda Protege with 294k on the clock before it needed a CV axle replacement. Unfortunately whatever moron had put in the axles I got on the car did not notice that the car was a manual, not an automatic. Slammed the auto axles in there. And they worked fine for however many miles they were in there. But when they needed to be replaced, the axles were completely stuck. Nothing would get them out. The transaxle seal broke on the last attempt and it bled all over. No one wanted to rebuild or replace the tranny, so it died. Not because it was a bad car, but because someone was a moron. Sad when those things happen. :/
