Any car can last that long if you take proper care of it. I hit 250K in an ‘88 Honda Accord before getting rid of it. 175k in a ‘97 Olds Cutlass before getting my current car … which I plan on keeping just as long as the previous ones.

Both of those cars, while having normal high mile issues, were running just fine when I was done with them. The Honda had a busted A/C hose and the Olds was just at the very beginning of transmission issues. Could’ve fixed both, but decided it was time for something new instead. Traded in the Honda in 2002 for a Trailblazer and the Olds in 2011 for a Mazda 6.

Any car but a 70s vintage Fiat, right?
