There's high mileage, and then there's this. A 1995 Honda Civic is for sale in Atlanta with, count 'em, 939,899 miles. That's 200+ miles a day. Every day. Including Sundays. For 12 years. It even has a Carfax report from when the car had 907,000 miles on it. According to the seller, the car runs like new, with no leaks, no noises, no oil burning, and not even a scratch on the body. In fact, the only blemish listed is that one of the dashboard lights doesn't work, and that's only sometimes.
The car is on its ninth timing belt, ninth water pump, and fourth clutch. But the engine and transmission are original, as are the floor mats. The car even comes with records. The most incredible thing isn't the mileage, though. It's how the owner put the miles on the car: driving on business trips from Atlanta... to Seattle... and San Francisco. We want to know what kind of business -- or what kind of boss -- makes a guy drive across the country and back, and then some, every single month for 12 straight years.
To paraphrase The Proclaimers, if you buy this car then you can drive a million miles and you can drive a million more...
I remember reading some stories about some taxis back home as well with insane amount of miles. Only time the car was turned off was for services hah. Pretty amazing when you think of it that some cars make it that far.
We get some vehicles with serious mileage on them. Its not uncommon for some fleets to rack up 50-100k miles in a year!
Remember with the fleets, these vehicle sometimes see 3 drivers a day.
Running continuously puts less wear on the motor than starting it up and shutting it off all the time, samne with cruising at steady RPMs on highway...so a lot of highway cruising in a fleet vehicle is a recipe for lasting a long time
How about the K&N motto "Million Miles on a K&N" reason they say that is one guy who swears by them has a million miles on a truck with just a K&N and typical maintenance.
