Default Cars that last a million miles (MSN story)

Funny how they don't make any mention on Toyota/Lexus when they are more famous for longevity than any other.

My SC400 has 234,000 so far and runs great.

I agree there is a pride that goes along with driving a car with that many miles.

I remember reading in Lexus Magazine a few years back about a man in Utah with a first year LS400 that ran up 500,000 miles. Not sure if we have any million milers yet, but I am sure one day we will.

Because the ball joints would have fallen off at 80k miles

I hope my GS3 can make it to 300k I mean it's some cars out there I love to have but this car is paid for it looks good, drives good. It's just a car I want to hold on to for a long time.

I've seen old MBs with over 1,000,000 miles on them, 2 were diesel and 1 was regular petrol.
