I'll roll over to 300k in a few weeks.  The paint is the only thing that's original.

266,800 miles when I bought her.  The PO told me that she "runs like a champ."   Then she wouldn't start for our test drive.  I bought it anyway, always wanted a bright red car!   Best $800 I ever spent.

*EDIT*

I don't drive much during the week since there's a train 1/2 mile from my house...but I do occasionally head out of town on work assignments...so she's up over 271k now.   I'm saving a nickel every mile that I don't drive the wife's minivan...adds up to hundreds of dollars a year.  So I can spend that money to buy parts I need...makes sense, right?

**EDIT**

As of Sept 2010 she just rolled 275,000.   Twenty years old and still running very well.  Last business trips were nearly 1000 miles and the car hasn't skipped a beat.  The best part is the fat mileage reimbursement checks.

**EDIT**

As of December 2010 we're at 278,491.  Most of that was from vacationing in North Carolina...800 mile round trip without incident.  Unfortunately I cannot change my vote!

**EDIT*

As of the last day of Sept, 2011...284,744!  Heading for that 300k mark slowly but surely...given the current rate of about 650 miles/month we'll see that in Sept 2013.  Hopefully she'll still be ticking along just like today.

**EDIT**

Just rolled 293K miles during the Chicago adventure. That's only 9K in over four years! I was hoping to be well over 300K by now, but I take mass transit all the time. That's OK...just added a 318iS to the fleet with a mere 143K miles.

odometer is broke with 176k on it.  I've easily put 2-3k miles on it.
