Wow, an 07 and it already has over 200K miles. I personally think that is a lot of miles since I would have gotten a different car a long time a go, but pretty much anything can last over 100K miles easy. My parents Ford Ranger and Mustang actually made it to 100K miles pretty easy. It took my dad's 90 Accord about 12 years to reach 200K miles.

I guess if you run though 100K miles a year, its worth keeping your car to 400K miles Otherwise 100K and about every 5 years is a good time to replace a car if you can.


Sounds like the guy does 500 miles a day

thatsa lotta miles mang...

reminds me of a similar story of a Yaris(i think) where the guy had similar miles on the clock. And if i recall correctly both of these guys have similar jobs - delivering medical stuff to hospitals/nursing homes. I cant imagine myself driving 8-10 hours straight 5-6 days a week. How the hell do you NOT get bored...? Both of them must have killer music collection on ipods...

He's very stupid person spend all into gas station. It makes gas station owner really rich. It's not good idea spend money into gases every week.
