There are cars on the road with over 200,000 miles on them...I stay away from them..

In March I purchased a used car with 209,000 miles on it for commuting. It now has 227,000 on it and runs like a top.

I have a 2001 Chrysler 300m with 125k miles on it and the original spark plugs. I went to Allpar.com to get some instructions on replacing them (each has a coil on top of it) and when I searched "change plugs" all my hits were in the "over 200,000 mile club" page. They were all saying that, although their cars were over 200k miles, they had never replaced their plugs (usually very apologetically). It removed my sense of immediacy. I still probably should do it though.

Then you would want to avoid my entire fleet! I have:
1966 International Harvestor M-800 Metro Mite 247,000 (100,000 of which I put on it myself from '86-'94)
1988 Ford F-250 Diesel 178,000
1980 Chevy Malibu, converted to right-hand drive (I deliver the mail with this one!)210,000
1993 Geo Metro 217,000 (needs engine rebuild)
1995 Chevy S-10 Blazer 227,000
1997 Toyota Camary 155,000
1987 Chevy/Grummon P-30 Stepvan 500,014 (currently serving as a storage building)

We currently own an '85 Subaru with 236,000, a '94 Mitsubishi Expo with 207,000 and a '97 Subaru Outback with 198,000.

Our beloved '90 Mazda 626 was finally totaled in an accident. At the time it had 426,000 miles. Walmart oil was used with fairly regular changes, 4 kids learned to drive with it, pulled a trailer all over the eastern US, hauled all the building materials for my house (except sheetrock & concrete) up a 14-18% grade rocky dirt road and the original clutch still had good wear left when I swapped it out at 359,000. Great car!
