What's the most kms you've seen on a Commodore? I asked a Taxi driver once and he said he has had a few cars and done about 600,000km in all of them.

Has anyone heard of a Commodore (or maybe another car) do more than this?

Not too bad actually, still goes well and pretty hard. It's just my run around too keep my k's on my other commo. The crankshaft is getting a bit noisey but hey $1,000 bucks for a gas converted VT with Interior in great coniditon and it had 626,750k's when I got it and still going strong carn't complain too much :)

Hey daggett,

Hows the car go on gas? Is it dual or just straight gas?
I'm toying with the idea of puttin mine on straight gas.

Dual Fuel, Never had a problem with it providied you use the correct oil, correct plugs & leads. Replacing the plugs and leads after 5,000k's is always a good move as well because it run's hotter on gas.

Which leads me say, keeping your cooling system 100% is a good idea also!.
