ZoomZoomFan Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 that lumina is in really nice shape actually for original 279k miles...i spy no rust... Yep. Some cars don't rust at all around here, and others do. I guess it's just the luck of the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach5Gus Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I was looking at some cars being auctioned off by my company today, there was an 04 GP w/ over 85,000 miles! That's over 40k per year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990lumina Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 My Lumina has 151,000kilometers...so 95~XXXmiles or so??? ....when it gets to 160,000km that's 100k miles. I doubt I'll make 160,000kilometers though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyBilly9Mile Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I came across an unusually clean 92 Regal 3.8 in the local pull and save yesterday....312,000m on the clock and no rust. A minor fender bender sent that one to it's final position on the chain of life for a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 its cool seeing al the ones in the j/y who have had long lives....average mileage of the ones ive seen(all W's) are probably around 180k miles and most of the ones in the yards were in wrecks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman429 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 My co-worker has a 90 base Lumina with 250K or more on the original engine, and trans. My W has a mere 104K on it. The highest mile car I have a pic of is a 90 Bonneville (series 1 3.8) with 326K on it. I parted that car out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted To Boost Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I know this probably isn't gonna top some of the super high mileage ones...525k!! bt last I checked my 1990 Grand Prix SE had 230,000 on it and it runs great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted To Boost Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I have something to add to the post above: My 90 SE had all original parts (not tires and brakes obviously) but the whole body, chassis, and engine/tranny are original. This might shock some of you guys, but it has NO RUST AND THE PAINT/CLEARCOAT IS NOT PEELING! And it has been a North Dakota/ Wisconsin/ and for the last five years a Minnesota car driven year-round. I find that it is in impressive shape for the age and mileage of the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdaye Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I've got 300K kilometers on my motor,still has tons of power (3.1) and runs perfect! trans was rebuilt over a year ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hey my uncle has a 92 Buick regal with a 3.1, and his odometer quit at right around 220k, well he said he drives around 40k miles a year(he drives over an hour each way to work every day), and his odometer quit 7 or 8 years ago. That puts it around 500k-540k miles. It has original motor/trans, the only thing major he has done to it is around 300k he had all the injectors replaced and intake/throttle body cleaned. He doesn't baby it either, after getting the injectors replaced, he told me watch this and stomped on it, and roasted the tires. He is still driving it to work every day, although last I asked him about it, he said he didn't like to kick it down to pass anymore cause the tranny is getting weak. Although with the odo broke there's no way to prove it, I figure a very low estimate would put it well over 400-450k mile range. This is definately the highest milage W i've heard of i think the highest milage car I've heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
