The lowest mileage any of our cars have gone before we replaced them is 147,000 miles. A couple of them have gone over a quarter million miles. The secret? Be gentle accelerating, turning, and braking, change the oil before it’s due, and run them at freeway speeds for extended periods of time every once in a while.

don’t drive it like ya stole it and keep up with your required maintainance. I have an ‘06 Ford Ranger 3.0 w/185K on it and bought it at 50K miles. So far,she’s served me well
aside form a brake job and it needed a new alternator
2 years ago which I shall confess is on it’s way out. All I can suggest is don’t buy aftermarket parts.
