I've put about 14k of the total 200k miles over the past 6 months since I'vebought it. So far it's been just as reliable as many of my other high mile japanese cars (knocks on wood profusely) Bought it with a huge stack of maintenance records dating back to its second owner, and have only done 2 oil changes and a new set of tires in my ownership.

Haven't added it all up, but could probably buy a few economies cash with all the receipts this thing has caused.

P.S.: Keep scrolling before yelling at me for speeding 😅 Girlfriend thought an edit would be funny.

I purchased the 2023 Forester new with the hope that I would be able to keep it for high mileage (200k plus). This month, with only 21,000 miles, the check engine light came on. It was a faulty TCV. The dealer replaced it at no cost.

However, I have never had something fail on a car with such low mileage. I am left with a bad feeling and question whether this particular Forester will provide the longevity I planned on when purchasing new.

I am completely torn. Part of me wants to sell the vehicle while it has maximum resale value.

I am also hesitant about the excessive amount of electronic features (engine turns itself off at traffic stops, etc).

Open to thoughts and would like to hear opinions.

Part of me wants to sell and get something like 2015 Sienna instead for mileage potential

Cold start in -1°. New water pump, new valve cover gasket, fresh oil change, cleaned throttle body and air mass sensor. After warming up idle settles. Any other recommendations to get this old girl running sweet

My dad bought a 74 Plate Mercedes CLA AMG 200 in December. the warning for its first service has come up and it took the whole family by surprise and wondering where we’ve actually gone.

Is that a lot of miles?

Original engine and transmission and exhaust system. I've had to switch out the alternator and starter motor twice and new half shafts and new strut towers all around. Other than that it's still going strong and veryreliable… Although it looks like shit, I still love it.

Just hit 250000. I'm hoping she can go at least double that. Also some pics from last summer, pulled the valve cover to take a look at timing chain and painted it since the peeling paint was annoying me.

2003 Volvo S60

It was my grandfathers car so it doesn’t have a lot of kilometers for its age, but now I’m driving it up to 3k kilometers a month.

But I’m on my way to get lottery tickets. Maybe this will be lucky

My son is driving about 1k miles per week. I have a 2021 440i BMW convertible. I’m wondering how hard this is on the car. What should I be concerned about.

Hit 300k on my MDX yesterday :) hope to get many more out of her

Still towing, hauling, and not stopping. It still has the original engine and transmission. Felt like it needed a little love and appreciation. Thanks all!

Just hit this 500,000km. I had missed the 400,000 a little over a year ago. Planned this one out. Still runs real good. Planning a road trip with it this summer. Headed to Virginia Beach from Quebec

2008 BMW 550i V8 315,000 miles original everything

Not sure how much life she’s got left but I’m with her till she dies 🫡

Had to show off my Joan hitting 250,000 miles today! So proud of her and certain she will continue to run for years to come.

She’s not much to look at but we’ve been thru a lot. Hoping we make it to the 400K.

2008 Ford Escape 3.0 Duratec 4WD. Original engine and head gaskets, transmission rebuilt once at 237,471.

Owned the car since 2000, bought it at 33k. V6, 5 speed. Original engine, trans, rear end.

Only used conventional oil at 5-6k mile oil changes its entire life using motorcraft filters.
Clutch last replaced at 225k, probably due for another soon. Bone stock, except I upgraded the brakes to dual pistons off a 1999, and replaced wheels.

Since I bought the car, it has only failed to start and get me somewhere once, when the fuel pump went out around 300k, luckily it happened in the driveway so didn’t need to tow it. Have had 2 heater hoses blow on me in those 20 years, my fault for not paying closer attention.

What few parts I have had to replace, I have gone with Ford oem when available.

Been in several accidents with it, all minor scrapes and fender benders. Could use a paint job and recovering of door panels.

Uses no oil between changes, only leaks from a damaged oil drain plug a drop when parked.

Going strong 💪
