...Well, approximately two-thirds of the vehicles that reach the 300k+ mark at an auction I attend will usually belong in one of four categories.
Ford truck or SUV. Chevy truck or SUV. Honda car. Toyota everything.
There you have it. Nearly two thirds of the vehicles that I see with serious high mileage credentials will belong in one of those four categories...
A good complimentary article.
As an owner of a 2000 Civic, I tell people that it is like driving for the cost of gasoline, and at 35 MPG, it is not much.
Then my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. Rides quiet as a luxury car, and had only to replace a fuel pump in all that time. The brakes are original.
My dad had two separate ford f-250 vans that he got 200 thousand plus miles out of and sold and bother are still on the road ten years later.
Yep, I have a 1997 Toyota 4Runner that is my beater/hauler vehicle. It has 225k miles on it and hardly a problem. Only had issues with starter, batteries (met battery life) and front brake rotors.
