Cool vid, but I've heard of some old datsuns from the early 80's having upwards of a million miles on them.
Still though, having all the records and documentation with that old comet is were it's true value comes from, a car with a story and history is worth far more than somebodies daily driver.
It does speak about the quality of American cars, back in the day, when quality was emphasized over quantity. -
If you buy a toyota and put a million miles on it you get a free new toyota. A LOT of people have done it too. So buy a brand new toyota and drive the F out of it.

300k on my civ, 45 MPG

My civic is almost broke in at 155,000.

Its had nine timing belts, I wonder how many left the owner stranded till he could get a replacement? That comet has never let her down.What does a timing belt snapping have to do with leaving you stranded?? You just throw a new one on and go.
And im guessing if they made it 900k+ miles on it, they were probably decent about getting services done, which the timing belt should be done every 100k, hence 9 belts. I have never seen a timing belt snap on a honda under 140k.

impressive. its not uncommon for a turbo diesel to make it that, but you dont see very many gasoline engines do that.I have seen more 2000+ Diesel trucks over 300k then I have seen of any other cars put together. I guess thats what happens when your dad works on them.
