I've seen an Accord in Williams Lake with 850,000km, it belonged to someone who worked a couple days a week on the coast and the rest of the week up there.
Now.. if they could just figure out their transmissions..

I like Hondas, but there is a known BMW E30 that has a million miles on its original engine. Like most things, cars were built to last in the 70s and 80s.

My 95 teg's got 245k on it, not all that much.
However, My first car, a 87 volvo 740 wagon had 475,000 on original motor and trans before i scrapped her, motor was a bit tired, trans didn't like reverse hot, and the body rusted out. I miss that car for camping!

No source, no claim. "Some other member said_____ " is not a source.

In Edmonton, there is a 1986 civic hatch, with 1.5 million KM on original motor and trans 
He actually rolls around in the little brown hatch with big stickers on the doors saying "1500000"

Pffft! My Ford Bronco has 390xxxkm's on the original motor and headgaskets no synthetic fluids either.
It still runs smooth as new and uses no oil. Most any vehicle that hasn't been abused and maintained well will get 300+ km's.
