wasnt there a volvo with 1 million miles or maybe it was a saab, anyway when the manufacturer heard the car had reached such high mileage they gave the owner a brand new vehicle for free, i shall research and come back to this thread!!

edit: it was a saab that reached a million miles but he didnt get given a free car which i fort he did!!

my98 scoob is 130k, i really dont think under 300k is really that high any more.

My grandad has an old vw passat that has been round the clock, used to be a taxi.

That had done 253,000 and drove as new, no replacement non consumable parts from new. Old mercedes' are such excellent cars.

Do you feel safe driving alone at night, knowing at any min it could burst into flames and leave you down a dark country road alone?
