I tend to buy a vehicle and then procede to drive the wheels off of it. I also tend to buy used vehicles (my last new purchase was a Subaru Forester, and I made the ex take the payment book along with the car when she left)

My Ford is a 1988 F-250 diesel, with 180,000 miles on it. Only my "new" 2002 Jeep has fewer, with 52,000.

Others include:
'93 Geo Metro with 215,000
'95 Chevy S-10 Blazer with 220,000
'87 P-30 Chevy/Grummon stepvan with 500,000 miles on the chassis (300,000 on the motor)
'80 Chevy Malibu with 200,000+ (converted to right-hand drive for mail delivery)
'66 International M-800 Metro-Mite with over 200-300,000 miles on it (I have no idea how many times the odometer has rolled over, only that I've put 130,000 of those miles on it)
Last but not least, a '80 Mercedes 240 diesel with 450,000 miles, only thing that's been changed is the clutch (3 times)

Personally, I like the Ford trucks more than their cars....

Ford trucks are good.
