I have a '00 Jeep Cherokee Sport with just under 140k on it... other than maintenance, repairs have totalled under $1k for it's life (starter, crank shaft position sensor). I give it a good highway run to work at least twice a week.

Other care is a '07 Dodge Charger SXT with 45k in it.

I love my 2001 Toyota Tundra. 135,000 miles on it with no real issues, and I change the oil just twice a year. Chose it back then because of ground clearance, ride, crash safety, and high resale value. But I'm going to drive it till it dies, which may be 10 more years. If it died and I had all the money in the world, I'd get a new Toyota Tundra.

84 Dodge Omni.....I was the 3rd owner. When I sold it the thing had 240k on it.

01 Mercedes E320.....I'm the 2nd owner. She has 100k on her and still runs like a champ. These days I don't drive her much, but she still looks and runs like new.

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Limited with 169K.

Only had one major problem (like a $1500 repair) but otherwise just maintaining the oil and fluids has kept it running very well.

Been everywhere from Seattle to Orlando in it and lived in the harsh Montana elements for 3+ years

Can't say I'm a huge Ford guy but this one has done me well

I had a 95 Dodge Caravan that I used to drive back and forth to Montreal for work on a daily basis, got it to 701,000 km (435,000 miles) on the original 3.0L 6 cyl. engine. I think that the key to that was changing the oil every month.

I've got a 1996 Tahoe with 247k on it. Just replaced the converters and put a new set of tires on it. Great truck. I also bought a 2001 Audi A4 last year with 155k. It now has 190k on it and it's a little tank. As you can tell I like my cars like my women, nice and loose and dusty.....
