Jim Almquist Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 My Toyota Solara has 171,000 and has cost me $100.00 for a pollution part and I replaced the timing belt and did a tune up at 100,000. Otherwise it has been only gas,oil and tires. I plan on driving it to around 300,000. It has the V-6. And people wonder why I bought a Tundra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52luge Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 My 92 Saturn has 331,000 and still gets 39 mpg. Just put a radiator in it, several sets of tires and some brakes. By far the most trouble free car I have ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Cowboy Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Wow all these story's are great guys keep em coming! makes me feel good to know im not the only one that does with what he has and doesnt need to have new and shiny all the time like its what I "deserve"...the car and truck commercials can sure make it hard on a guy to think otherwise and youve got to fight it. I'va allways told my wife when looking at the new cars to try and picture the payment book and how thick it is sitting on the kitchen table, then think of the things you like to buy or do and how much of it you could get or do in a month for the $400 or so that the payment is.. usually cures me of the desire. with the hard times were in now I can see a few more members of the high mile club coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jltimm Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 The key words in the ford with 440,000 miles are "a salesman"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMechanic Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 All of this just goes to show how far along the automotive technology has come since On Board Diagnostics(OBD) was introduced in all vehicles. For almost 100 years, people found out their vehicle had a problem when something broke. Now, we have all those precious warning lights and codes. Sensors all over, inside, and out. Computers/Modules everywhere. If darn near anything is out of it's acceptible parameters, we are warned by a little light which enables us to repair something small before any major problems occur. In return, 200K miles on a vehicle is no big deal anymore, it is common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
