I have a 99 4Runner with 110k miles that still runs great. Not my daily driver anymore but it used to be and I held on to it.
Did you commute on campus here?



I put 110k miles on a vehicle in about 27 months.

I have a 2010 Ram and a 96 Toyota. Both are beat up but every day I don’t have a note I feel like I’m saying frick you to the banks. Probably just in my head but it feels good.

My MB E350 was delivered to the dealer in December, 2010. Now with 123k miles and it still runs well. Interior and trim has held up very well and I have no plans to get rid of it for at least 2 years.

I have 3 vehicles with over 150k miles. I had a Ford van with 320k. My tacoma has 205k. My lowest mileage car is my BMW which has 152k.
I'm about to sell two cars abs get a GX though which will also likely have over 175k miles.

My parents have a truck and two cars from '02, 02, and '07.
My dad treats the interior like a pigsty but takes very good care of them mechanically.

My daily driver is a 2001 Camry LE 4 cylinder purchased new. The Camry runs great and doesn't burn oil. It's time to install new struts front and rear. The weatherstripping is still good. The interior looks brand new in spite of being always weather exposed.

Been the only owner of my 2007 Sierra. Zero complaints, aside from some scratches my "helpers" at home put on it during a wash & wax.

In 2014 i sold a 97 z71 2 door tahoe with 395,000 miles that ran like a champ. I spent a lot of money over the years keeping it going. solid investment since I didn't have a note for 11 years. got a jeep grand cherokee and hated it and traded it in for my current truck in 2020. I hope to put a 1/2 million miles on the turndra and at my current pace it will take 20yrs

Got 15 years out of my first new car ever, a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse, with 165,000 miles. Got rid of it just as the engine was going, and traded it in for the brand new redesigned 2005 Mustang. 7 weeks later that car was underwater, as I live near the 17th St. Canal in N.O.
