292,000 on the Statesman (Mostly highway km), still drives like brand new (probably because half of it is brand new)

No idea on the engine though, could be 50,000 could be 500,000.

VX II Acclaim Wagon.
VX '02 Ecotec.
280, 000 km.

Recent purchase and more ks than I would like but they're all country Ks so here's hoping.

It's doing a lot less now since I'd be lucky to do anywhere near 10 thou a year.

Went to grab some Thai chow with the girlfriend last night and this happened:

That's near on 40k with a 14 pound blower and she's still purring like a kitten. Power capabilities aside there's very few engines on this earth that can handle a really tough life like a Buick V6. That said, Timmy's Raptor V(L) is a superb piece of kit.

I propose a minute silence.

2000 VTII Commodore Olympic, 2012 Ford Focus ST
Fiesta - 15,000km
VB Commodore - Unknown. Bought it @ 122k with odometer not working. Swapped speedo for one I thought did work. Didn't. Speedo fixed @ '105k', speedo now showing around 134k on the VB.

Trimatic is apparently good for 170k, transmission works fine with no leaks, I will assume comfortably under 170k. Original untouched motor with ok compression as well.

Lol.


There are so many diesel motors out there working on double or even triple the k's that have had much harder lives than anything in a Commodore.
