What's the highest mileage you've seen? (Poll) 200 any

posted by  someone claiming to be Colin on  Tue Jul 3 03:13 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I was in my local junkyard the other day and saw a late 80's 245 with 305,000 miles showing, and it got me wondering how far one of these cars will go. What's the highest mileage you've seen on an original 240 (meaning not a car that has a million miles but has had 5 new engines and 5 new transmissions, etc.)? The one in the junkyard had obviously been driven into the ground with little maintenance, and as such I'm pretty sure it had the original major drivetrain parts. What are your experiences?

Colin

'82 245 180k Mi. Original, head never off, etc. M46 tranny going.

'71 Triumph TR6 untold hundreds of thousands of miles, rebuilt many times.

'72 BMW 2002 well over 250k Mi., but not original engine, etc.
