      I have a DIESEL TOYOTA. The Fortuner aka the 4Runner's brother. Same engine as the Hilux. However only available in Australia and Asia. EPA doesn't like diesel, so not available in USA... However Diesel is beautiful.... I may ship my Fortuner to Mexico and register it there... Then drive it in America 😆😆

      I have always replaced my cars at 200,000 miles, because that's when they have always started nickel and diming me. I am going to try 300,000 miles with my current car. I neve did maintenance, other than oil changes every 3000 miles. I have a 2005 mustang 4.0 with 165,000 miles. I finally started doing the preventative maintenace. I replaced spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, serpentine belt, wheel bearings, brake pads. My plan is from now on to replace the water pump every 100,000 miles as preventative maintenance, since it seems like they always go out when it is -40 degrees out.

Examples: I traded my 13 Tundra at 100k and the paint still looked new; an aunt has a 2011 Avalon with 160k and the paint looks nice, she sold her 2000 Avalon to her neighbor (has to have at least 250k miles at this point), the paint isn't pretty any more but the clearcoat is still relatively in tact, and before it was totaled (in 2016) I had a cousin with a 98 4runner with 250k+ miles and the only visible paint issues were on the painted fender flares.

      I don't think the data they gathered is reflective of the real world. Since they gathered data only through publicly available mileage reported by the repair facilities, it does not give you the real picture. Many high mile cars are owner repaired and maintained, and their mileage data do not get reported properly, if at all.
      If you've been shopping for used cars, then you know which cars reach high mileage.

      Agreed. And I wouldn't include the current version of CRV with the 4 cyl. 1.5L turbo and full time direct injection. Excessive oil dilution is going to wear those engines early. Good luck getting the dealers to replace them engines near 100k miles, even under extended warranty.

      The only Ford car made in the last 40 years known to exceed 300,000 miles time and time again is the Panther Platform cars (Crown Victoria, CVPI, Grand Marquis, Marauder, & Towncar). But, the Panther Platform cars are also known to spontaneously combust when rear-ended (A dear friend of mine barely escaped such a conflagration in a company-issued Towncar).
      Most Toyotas and many Hondas routinely exceed 300,000 and 400,000 miles without any significant repairs. I've heard that in foreign countries, guerillas & insurgents prefer Toyota vehicles because of their well-earned reputation for reliability and longevity.

      I'm a Toyota fan. But I'm even more a car enthusiast. I wanted to find out about the BMW reputation. Quite simply, it's hit and miss, buy the wrong model and experience financial ruin, buy another and get 200k+. As a rule, older smaller Beemers are better! At one point, I had three E46 and two E36. Check CL and FB to find many older 90s BMWs with 250-350k miles. Also, the internet to find stories of newer Beemers with electrical problems that are not fixable.

    Volvo owner here. There are a lot of devotees that have proudly run well past 200k and I hope to be part of that club some day (currently at 112k with my XC60). In the end, it’s all about regular scheduled maintenance AND willingness to pay for the maintenance that comes with cars. It seems like there’s a prevalent attitude these days that cars are disposable - once it creeps up to that 100k mark or you get hit with that first round of what’s perceived as a major repair (which is actually expected maintenance at that ~100k mark), then it’s time for a new car. 😕

    @johnhansen4550 4 роки тому +7

    I would argue that the expectation for different brands of vehicles make a large difference in how long people keep cars and trucks on the road. People spend much much for a used Land Cruiser that they are willing to spend a lot of money for on going maintenance and restoration in comparison to many USA based cars. People get bored and abandon many 3.8 Buicks rather than do relative inexpensive repairs on them. The same is true for the many GM LS applications. ChrisFix just rebuilt a Trailblazer for less than $1000 total investment....Much cheaper investment than a Toyota- and this was a SUV that was abused...

      Was surprised not to see the Sequoia on the list but it is probably because it is the same segment as the Landcruiser. I have seen tons and tons of Sequoias for sale over 200k. they don't break down because they have been using the same engine and parts for yrs. If you are gonna get a used vehicle, either of these would be high on the list. I would not pay the price for one new but used in good shape, heck yeah.

I just got a new job which pays much more than I have ever made in the past and this is going to be my "year of car buying" - aiming at ~100k cars as a daily and a higher-mileage vehicle as a backup. My goal is a sub 200k Sequoia as the backup and a 100k mile Lincoln Town Car as a daily. I'm thinking a total cash output of ~$7-8k, no debt, and a good car years of relatively trouble-free driving.

( At 299,999k I had to keep track by the trip meter..) when the guy came to pick it up he was shocked at how good it looked and ran.. still got 30mpg, the AWD worked beautifully, didn't burn oil between changing etc. I ran it almost 1500 miles a week for 3 years of it's life and it never even burped..
    I only got rid of it because I had 5 cars and was moving and got rid of the three oldest.
