How many miles.........

do your cars have now? 1986 is a pretty far back now since it's almost 2003. I have 169,120.8 miles on her. To establish some rules here, these miles has to be actual, no engine replacements allowed.


So who has the most? And the least (less than 100,000)?



This oughta be good.........

188,013.9 miles on motor, and the motor still runs cherry. Wish I could say the same for my front end. :\

Tranny was replaced back in June at about 175,000. The 3rd gen 5-speed has about 60,000 miles or so when it was put in. ****! I drive a lot don't I? I put 13,000 miles on the car in about 6 months.....

hmmm..

171,000 KM on the odometer here, but the digi dash was swapped by the previous owner so I can't vouch for actual KM.. I'm told it's probably nearer to the 200,000 - 210,000 mark though.

120K miles on my '88. When I bought it back in Feb. 2000, it had 60K miles on the odometer, pretty low for a 12 year old car at the time.

237,486k miles, and still running....it is getting either a good rebuild soon, or a swap. though. The engine started to leak pretty badly about 20k ago, and is just now beginning to burn a little oil. This engine has never been babied.

I have 261,000 miles on my 85 SE 5 speed. It still does not need oil between changes every 3,000 miles. People thought I was nuts when I bought the car with 160,00 miles on it in 1992. It was cherry then and still is now. I paid $4,500 for it. I hope it never breaks.

181,000 on my 1984 sedan with an auto.
Runs fine, although it does burn some oil. I'll get a rebuild 2.8L from a Z ready if I need a new engine.

176,000+ miles on my 88 Maxima SE.
Purchased it on March 23, 2002 with 158,000 miles on it.
Still running strong. but this IS just breaking these engines in, right?

We have 205K miles on our 87 Max. The automatic tranny won't shift until the car warms up a bit and I have an oil leak at the rear main seal. It only takes about one quart between changes due to the rear main seal leak. Not too bad at all.

This car is babied though.
