150K miles is pretty stout, and I do only have 85K miles so far, but it has been only 2 1/2 years since I got the car new. The car shows no sign of slowing down.

Whoa! You’re driving like we do—more, matter of fact, some pretty heavy mileage there.

We would put the mileage like I told you and then I would sell the vehicle locally, clean them up nice, have them serviced one more time and then darn if we wouldn’t see them for several years afterwards, no telling how many miles those cars stacked up. They were usually poor folks looking for something they could afford that had been treated right, regardless of miles.

All we do is make sure oil is changed regularly and small things taken care of before they develop into big problems.

About a year ago or so, Popular Mechanics had interesting articles on cars with 250,000+ miles without major repairs, shoulda saved it, very interesting...
