My last Pontiac Bonneville had 190,000 on it when I sold it. The guy who bought it drove it 500mile back home.
My 1986 442 only had 110,000 on it when it died, thanks to a woman running a red light.
My 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix had 210,000 on it when it expired thanks to faulty wiring done by a "professional" alarm installer.
My wife's Saturn had 110,000 on it. It ran fine all the way into the side of the Ford pick up she hit. Totaled both vehicles, no injuries.
My dad's last several GM wagons have all made it to 200,000 with no major problems. His current Caprice wagon has 150,000 and still going.
My mom has had a string of Buick Centuries and while they usually trade them in before they go much beyond 100,000, none of them has needed any real repairs save for one. That one needed several pistons replaced under warranty becuase of piston slap. Ran fine, just made too much noise.
My sister's old Camaro made it to 150,000, only needing valve seals.
Had an old coworker who had a Buick Century and a Saturn, each topped the 200,000 mile mark.
Shiny Side Up!
