I have a few lotsa miles stories. I drive all over the midwest in my job as an installer, as do others who work for my employer. I bought a junk 1986 Buick Century about three or four years ago. It had 130K on it when I bought it for $1000. I put another 100K on it. So it had 230K on it when I got rid of it. This car still had a carburetor! No major work on it while I wa driving it.

Have two fellow workers who had around 300K on their vans. One was an Aerostar and one was a Dodge Caravan. They don't go for ever but they will go for a long time.
