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.

That was part of the break in procedure, new timing belt at 300 miles. Everyone does that....

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.

It has a lot to do with how the owner/ owners take care of the vehicle. I've had a couple GM cars last well over 200k. I've also had/ worked on imports that crapped out around 100k.

Exactly.

You all need to go be poor somewhere else. Why would you keep a vehicle that has over 50k miles on it? Hell, even 50k is old.

Just like your 2002 Dodge Ram, 1992 Ford Explorer? I bet they have not hit 50k yet:P
