      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.

          That’s insane. My Subaru is approaching 200k which I thought was pretty good.
