most amount of miles you put on a car? (2015, SUV, unlimited)

My record: 2002 Chevy Tahoe, bought new. 210k. Started to gradually degrade. Traded in 2012 for a brand new Audi Q7, now 55K on that.

1998 Toyota Land Cruiser. Bought new, $55k out the door. Sold it last year when I bought my new Lexus LX570. 331,000 miles on the clock, still going strong with no major issues ever. Absolutely everything still worked like new. The power antenna even still worked, which if you are LC person you know what I mean. Only issue - the 'D' light burned out. Still got $7500 for it.

Traded a laptop for a 1991 Subaru Loyale back in 2008 and it already had 22X,XXX miles (don't remember exact amount), sold it 18 month later with 279,XXX miles. Knew the previous two original owners and it was mostly factory, minus normal wear and tear, clutch, tires, struts.

Both me and my wife beat this snot out of that little car. We would load up our friends and haul them down the beach, take on ski trails and other places most would never think a little car like that would ever go. Sure miss it.

Now we have a 1997 Legacy we picked up back in May with 204,XXX mile and now has 214,XXX. Only issues it has is typical Subaru oil leak, hard shift into 3rd, and lags going into second when light on the throttle. Heard stories this is typical of that transmission. Also, the dash lights don't illuminate when it is below zero.

Just bought my first new car, which I've only put 1500 miles on in the past three months. Wife and I work at the same office and have a very short commute .

Before this all of my cars were bought with >100k miles on them. The best, and the one I kept the longest, was my 1997 F-150. Dad bought it new and gave it to me with ~160k miles on it. The odometer stopped at 201k, but I'm pretty sure that it had around 220k when I got rid of it. I used to live further from work and drove a lot more.

During the time I drove it I had to replace normal wear items, a few trim odds and ends, and a new A/C, but other than that it was dead reliable. Still ran like new and didn't leak a drop of fluid when I sold it, with 220k on the original engine and trans.

I have a 30 year old pickup with over 200k miles on it. Doesn't look all that great any more, but still runs great. It's in semi-retirement these days, but still gets a workout whenever I need to haul something.

Did 306,000 on a 1988 Volvo 240 DL. Gave it to a charitable organization figuring they would flip it for cash like most do but discovered they kept it and used it as an operating vehicle.

[Stonepa]

Yeah, those 240s will last basically forever if they are taken care of and don't rust away.

My 2003 Toyota Camry, purchased new, 341,000 and still going!

[ocelots]

I hit 180,000 miles on my car this morning. It's a 2006 Scion XA that I ended up acquiring from my mom about 6 years ago with 35k miles on it. I'd like to hit 200k with this car, some of these posts mentioning cars lasting 200-300k+ miles give me hope!

Bought a Golf TDI new in 2003, to use as a courier vehicle. Currently has 578,000 miles and adding about 1000 miles a week. Original engine and manual transmission, original injection pump, second clutch, third set of shocks and struts. It has a number of performance upgrades, so about 60%-70% more HP and torque than stock, but still averages 40-42 MPG. Cost me 20.7 cents/mile last year, but the work I did won't need repeating this year so the cost per mile will be less. No depreciation and no full-coverage insurance.
