High mileage?

Post by MPalm »

Who has the highest odo-reading?

My Caddy has 373000km on the clock, the engine is still strong but it needs new injector nozzles, struts and a tie rod end. Oh and the tail gate is barely hanging on to the bed, it's rusted out in hinge area...

A friend just bought a Mercedes 200D -88 with 745 000 km on the clock :shock:
Golf IV TDI -98 330000km

Everybody else lists their cars here - but not me.

I have too many to count

My 85 Jetta Coupe has over 756,000 kms on the body but the original motor was replaced at around 470,000 kms. The original transmission lasted until 595,000 kms. It's getting a paint job and a TD transplant as we speak.

Our Rabbit engine has 609,000km on it and now it's in a Suzuki still running well. My son started it without glow plugs, in the parking lot the other day, after it had sat for 5 hours.

My '83 Quantum has 323,xxx miles (519,xxx km) and still going very strong! Engine was rebuilt 100,000 miles ago. Has syncro disc brakes all around and many other improvements. She'll go another 300,000 before the body dies. She pulls my 2000lb homemade camper trailer too.
