Impressive, but I would think most cars will go a million miles if they are perfectly maintained.

At first I thought this would be like the hammer that lasted 75 years - the handle was replaced 5 times and the head twice, but otherwise it was as good as new.

Gilbert donated his prized possession to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum His ad in the weekly didn't go over to well:
Saab: Gently used, new tires, high miles. Good maintenance schedule. Filing cabinet not included with paperwork to support service schedule. Drivers seat slightly worn. only 1 million miles. Call now before I donate it to a Mueseum!

Mine had a smidge over 250K when I traded it. Ran like a top. The salesman who sold me my truck bought it.

I put 9,000 miles on my vehicle per year. I've owned it three years now. If I could just live an additional 108 .... well, never mind.

What exactly is the maintenance schedule for 1,000,000 miles?
500,000 miles.....Remove seat springs from buttocks, reupholster
875,000 miles.....Replace floor panels and engine

"Perhaps the success of Gilbert's ride can be attributed to his meticulous care regiment."
If I had an army to take care of me I could go a million miles, too.
I believe the writer meant regimen.

Wasn't it a Saab that the Kims got stuck in? Pity.
Although I doubt even a 4x4 truck or SUV would have been adequate for where they were.

You've got to be kidding?
In '89 we had Chrysler LeBaron, Chevy Celebrity, Ford Festiva and Oldsmobile Calais which one of those have you seen lately?
To: Responsibility2nd
Wow that is 58,906 miles per year. I thought that I drove alot at around 25,000 a year. I think that the average American drives around 12,000 per year.

November 1989 after the divorce of his wife.... That says it all..I was having trouble that someone would actually want to drive a SAAB that long....
