Not to mention it would be impossible to verify because the odometer only goes to 999,999.

The extra 40 ponies come from the sticker on the windshield. That may sound like a lot, but it is rather large.

However, the top speed is only 125 so it must weight a lot.

Yeah, most heavy-duty trucks hit a million miles in ~10-12 years, but I can't fathom why any sort of passenger car would be used to drive 1700 miles per week, or how it could still be running past 600K miles (the most I've ever seen on a car).

Odometer hasn't enough digits to verify.

my Uncle had a Ford truck that he got to over 1,000,000km on (like a regular pickup truck). Ford gave him a jacket for it and stuff but it all got stolen after

A neighbor of mine just acquired a 2000 Ford Ranger with 565,000 miles on it. Runs and drives well, and the body and interior are in fantastic shape! I'm shocked to see much more than 150K on a Ranger! I had to look at the odometer before I believed him.

I'm curious as to what I can get out of my Max. I'm at 219K now, and I adore the car, so I won't get rid of it until I have to! I think 300K is definitely doable, but I'm wondering how far I can go past that. I drive around 2000-2500 miles a month.

That does look way too clean for something with over a mil on it. My back seats still look new, but the driver's seat and floor definitely show the miles. I'm thinking typo.

Definitely possible for the body but not for the engine. I remember a story in the news a while back about a honda civic that did the same thing. Maybe he travelled for business and just swapped in a new engine every 250k? I'm gonna go with it's probably a typo.

For a Honduh, I doubt it possible..



There are plenty of 4th gens over 400K.

Including plenty over that.

I have classes in the morning and work at night, to get to school and back is 50 miles round trip, then work is another 30ish depending on my route. I live in a relatively rural area.

Weekends I have no classes, but I typically still have work, and I tend to take little trips.

It's a lot of driving, that's for sure!

How dare you..Our VQ's are the original VQ's that started it all and they don't die. The body however is destroyed by these road salts..

That has to be a typo and besides how can he verify the mileage when the odometer only goes up to 999,999. Im thinking he acidentally pressed a 1 and 2 when he was trying to press the 2 and didnt notice it.

The engine was probably rebuilt a few times based on what condition the car is in since it appears to be a show car

Lol like al bunfy almost getting a viper cause his car hit 1 million miles.

I remember reading or hearing years back about a guy (or gal) in Arizona or Nevada that had a 94 or 95 integra and traded it in with 500k+ miles on it with all the maintenance receipts. The dealership gave them trade in value or some kind of value from 95 or whatever year the car was to put towards a new car. The dealership kept the car in the showroom floor to show the reliability of Honda after so many miles. Don't know how Mich of that is true but it'll be cool if Nissan would do something like that with a trade in that has that many miles lol...
