    The maintenance gets tough after 80,000 miles. She’s a good wife for letting you know the good days are done.

      Maybe in the 1970s. Any modern car worth owning will be way more reliable than that if you change your oil regularly.

      We have a 2004 F-150 with 565,000 miles on the original engine and it’s still running great. We had to get a new transmission at 240k, and I think that’s the only repair it’s needed over about $200.00

        I got multiple SAABs (Pre GM/1991 or older) to over 1,000,000 miles. Got one to 1,500,000. Never quite hit the golden 2,000,000 mile mark though. Plenty of other people did though. Volvo even has a couple cars that made it to 2,000,000. Don’t know of any other brands that will make it that far. Maybe some unicorn of a Honda or Toyota.
