I think around 254,000 on a Chevy Cruz. Handled amazing, but the engine was nothing but trouble since damn near the day I bought it. Overheating issues, water pumps issues, thermostat issues, valves getting stuck, etc. By that time though the check engine system was throwing 11 or 12 different codes and one of them was for the catalytic converter. Basically just ran it into the ground at that point and when it was time for the motor vehicle inspection I got rid of it for parts.

Dad bought me 91 Chevy C1500 in 2001 with the 350 TBI engine that had 115K miles on it but it needed new head gaskets.
We fixed it up and I drove it until 2010 and sold it with about 350K miles. Never had any issues beyond the head gasket and a clogged fuel filter that left my stranded once.
Wish i had kept it. Would love to find another one in great condition and continue driving it instead of spending money on modern cars.~ Texas ~

I had a Ford taurus with 170k when I was a new driver. Given to me by my dad.
The first 2 months I had my license he had given me a Nissan xterra. I loooooved that suv. The one morning he decided nahhhh, and took the xterra and traded it in for a new catilliac cts-v.
So me and my mom shared the taurus while my dad cashed in on his midlife crisis car haha. He let me drive it a bit, absolutely incredible vehicle. This was back in 2006.
Shortly after I would save up money and buy my own xterra again.
Currently my 2019 subaru has 14k miles, and my jeep has about 90k.
I bought my subie new for a commuter car, the ended up working from home half the week. Lawl.Sometimes I park in handicap spaces, while handicap people make handicap faces

thats the only problem i have, the catalytic converter. Because of it I can't get my tag sticker because of stupid california smog check rules. *rolled eyes*

First car was a Dodge Avenger, had it for a couple years before it broke down. I think it had 70k miles on it when I bought it, and was in the 90k's when the mechanics told me it needs a whole new engine and I should just scrap it.
Current car is a Toyota Camry. It was a CPO, and had somewhere around 11k miles. Had it since 2019 and it's around 35k miles now, srs.i7-14700k

Yup, exactly why I got rid of it when I did. Would've cost a fortune just to get it to pass inspection for a new sticker so said fuk it.
Fuarkkkkk Dodge Avenger as first car crew. Got mine with 78k miles on it and I think I got it to 125k before I had to scrap it. Honestly don't remember why though... probably transmission the more I think about it. That car was a lot of fun to drive though. Needed an engine with more balls, but I loved the handling on that one too."The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed."

My old truck had 289K on it when I sold it. My dad had an old beetle (actually my mom bought it in Germany in 1965). As a NASA engineer he wanted to drive it to the moon (288,800). Then when he got there he decided to drive it home again, but never quite made it. I think it has something like 385K on it when he sold it.
