How many miles/kilometers has your car already stacked?

4047 sats \ 45 comments \ @Lederhosen 13 Dec 2023 tech

I'm curious to know who holds the record for the most miles/kilometers on their car on SN?

While on vacation in Morocco, I once rode in an old Mercedes W124 taxi that had 1.2 million kilometers on the odometer.

My Bavarian princess is approaching 400,000 kilometers now. My personal goal is to reach 1 million kilometers. I believe the V6 diesel engine should be up for it, but government regulations, especially with diesel bans, might make it challenging.

What mileage/kilometers does your car have?

Those were the times of mechanics, not mechatronics, where the vulnerability wasn't as high...

Only 200,000 miles. Still has that new car smell.

But also not a small amount, I find it great when one doesn't always immediately buy a new car but truly drives it. If you take good care of it, it will always smell nice and drive far and wide.

We have -08 VW Golf 1.4 TDi with 180k KM. Originally when I purchased the car I thought it would serve our family up until 200-220k. But now I am hoping it will last longer. What does SN, think about it, how long such car last?

I drive a 15 year old truck. It just crossed 100k miles. Take good care of it. Last I checked its resale value is more than I paid for it (bought it used). Its a workhorse and tool.

That's the great thing about owning older used reliable vehicles. I tend to make money on every car I drive. Buy at the bottom and use the thing. Then sell it when I am ready for something different.

That's certainly a great thing, but one also needs to have some knowledge and an eye for it!

Yeah, I have been trading cars for about 25 years now. My first car cost $300. Been trading up since then. I was more lucky than anything back then. Although I had guidance from some men in my life that gave me a hint that Japanese cars were the way to go.

Yes, it can happen, and I've noticed that even some youngtimers are gaining value again. It's interesting to see how certain classic cars are regaining appreciation in the market. Look after it!

2006 Tacoma with 268000 km, but I have rusty frame issues that might kill it early. 500k is no big deal for the engine. The older models were even getting 1million+ if the chassis held out.

2007 VW Jetta with 211K miles. It could do with a new headliner and AC compressor, but so far I've only had to do regular maintenance - change the oil, tires, battery and spark plugs. I used to get 32mpg from it when I had a commute. Pretty remarkable for a 16 year old vehicle. And by some sort of black magic, the upholstery somehow still looks brand new.

I only own japanese vehicles that have over 200,000 miles on them. I think vehicles should last longer than we expect them to. American cars seem to be designed to break before 150,000 miles.

I have been thinking about making a video about the truck. Seems pretty rare. I have met a couple people with Tundras with over 500k when I used to work in the trades. Vehicles have the best value at over 200000 miles when most assume they are all used up.

460,000 original miles. wow - looks like the record so far! Did you have any major repairs?

I purchased the car with 430k or so. Sounds crazy but the previous owners obviously lived the car. I haven't done any much work but the previous owners had a stack of maintenance records. When I look at cars to purchase I look for the condition of the car and history of reliability more than I do mileage. It gives me lot of pleasure to drive cars that others see as uses up. Bottom of the value curve.

Almost 100k Km... I tend to replace my car before it hits 100k but probably not this time... I prefer to keep stacking and wait until 100k USD per coin, lol.
