Top 10 Cars That Last Over 300k Miles (nearing 500km) by nurey(m): 3:00pm On Jan 05, 2017 |
With a little help, we quickly found that there were far more than 10 cars built in the last 25 years that last over 300k miles. In fact, we saw many cars with 300, 400, 500, even 700,000 miles! (It made us happy to be in the auto parts business). When it was all said and done, we were able to summarize a top-10 list of cars which were talked about the most. No this doesn’t mean your 300k mile NSX isn’t reliable, it just means that there are a lot more 300k Camrys than 300k Supercars. 1. 1981-1994 BMW 3-Series: No, this really isn’t the most reliable car ever made, but when sorting different makes & model cars, B does come before the letter T. Everyone loves the E30 BMW for is its mystical connection between affordability, reliability, driver experience, and engineering excellence. The slogan ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’ can show it’s ancestry to the E30 3-Series. If you want an awesome daily driver (that gets 25-30mpg), an E30 will fit the bill. If you want a cheap BMW, the E30 will fit the bill. If you want a car that will dominate in an autocross, the E30 will fit the bill. With how capable the E30 BMW is, I’m constantly surprised they have such a low resale value. If you’re looking for a really fun car at a great price, look no further than a E30 3-Series. 2. 1999+ Chevrolet & GMC Trucks: Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra. These trucks contain the (now legendary) LS series engine, which not only is reliable, but also makes an easy swap into a hot-rod when your done with the truck. Want to see how durable these trucks engines are? there is article by Hot Rod Magazine about how they took a 4.8l V8, and made it put out over 1,200 horsepower 3. 1983-2012 Ford Ranger (& Mazda B2300) w/2.3l 4cyl: Maybe you realized that there is another option to the well-valued Tacoma. That option is the Ford Ranger. You may say really? A Ford Ranger reliable? If you’re in the Auto Parts business, you’ll know how reliable they are. With fleets approaching 700,000 miles, these trucks are simple, durable, and best of all, cheap. They are also popular for inter states in South west Nigeria 4. Honda Civic: One of the more surprising take away points from this research was that Hondas were not readily mentioned. While not a front-runner in the group, at no point can reliability be talked about and not mention Honda. Hondas are known by their owners as extremely reliable cars. Plus: even with high miles, they have a great resale value. I bet you’ll find a Civic with 300k+ miles on it for $3000. The Civic is chosen because it is synonymous with reliability. Choose any Civic ever made, and you won’t go wrong.

5. Jeep Cherokee & Jeep Grand Cherokee w/4.0 6cyl: Unless you own one of these machines, it’s unlikely that you’re aware of their reliability. Equipped with a high-torque, low-revving straight 6, the Cherokee family is known to last a lifetime. Whether you need a truck for winter driving, or something for hauling the kids to soccer, the Cherokee is one that will keep on going. 6. 1994-1999 Nissan Maxima: With the Maxima’s biggest competitor being the Camry, Nissan knew they had to pull out all the stops when they made the Maxima. The result from 1994-1999 was a car that not only was reliable; it served as a fun car to drive. Owners report no major repairs up to 250,000 miles, and still very reliable over 400,000 miles. These Maximas are a fantastic car, that will last a long time. 7. 989-1999 Subaru Legacy & Subaru Outback: Need to go anywhere? Subaru owners seem to think they can. When you don’t want an SUV, but you need the capabilities. The Subaru is relatively modest car with an aggressive heart. The Legacy and Outback were mentioned by users numerous times, due to how useful they were. Does anyone want a 300k old Outback? Keep looking, because Subaru owners love their cars! 8. Toyota: 4Runner, Camry, Corolla, Land Cruiser, Prius, Pickup, T100, and Tacoma: Need i say much.

9. Volvo 850 & S70/V70: in 1993 Volvo attempted to veer away from the boxy 240 with this attempt at manufacturing a safe contemporary sedan. Equipped with a well-built 5cyl transverse-mounted engine, these Volvos kept their reliability reputation up through the production run. The great benefit of this car is its safety. The phrase ‘built like a tank’ describes the 850 Volvo. In turn, it means this car will be just as solid as the day you buy it. 10. 1983-1999 Volkswagen Jetta/Golf/Corrado: Volkswagens are one of the best-selling cars worldwide. Why? Because they are affordable, and seem to last forever. The models that were most prevalent with high miles are the MK2 and MK3 series of Jetta/Golf/Corrado. Don’t tell anyone, but our choice would be the Corrado. Listed as VW’s First True Sports Car, the Corrado is great fun, which will last a long, long time. In No particular order.

Whizpeter: I just had to look at who created the thread. Quelle surprise! Cc: Timelezz, Danfuster check out this joker After losing an argument, he came to create this The W124 (V-Boot)was from 1984 to 1996. Last time I checked, the V-Boot is still very much around, even after 33 years! My dad's V-Boot was well over 300k miles before he sold it. It was still very neat, with a sound engine (which he never changed in the 11 years he owned it.) 4 Likes 2 Shares

nurey: nurey: nurey: The above quoted statements is your comments few minutes ago where you woefully lost an argument. Your dad's flat boot/regular Mercedes was built in 1976 and you witnessed it. From your DP, the car had been made long before you were born. You always ccontradict yourself and shoot yourself in the foot with your emotional arguments. Your hate for Mercedes won't cure your psychological problems bro. Mercedes-Benz has some of the oldest cars plying the roads today. From flat boot/regular benz built in 1976 which your dad owns To Baby Benz (190) built in 1983 To Vboots W124 built in 1985 Get factual, bro. Even the girls are beating you in emotional stability. 2 Likes 1 Share

Timelezz: it seems you like arguing alot. Where have i said benz is Bad or shouldnt be bought or used. You just shot yourself in the leg, i am not a BRAND LOYAL somebody, you discredit a car maker by preaching false lies, i will correct you simple as ABC. go to the link brother if benz is there and i didnt put it, I will tender a public apology to benz fans also if in my writeup at first i never mentioned add yours, i will tender a public apology calling myself a Hypocrite |

nurey: Brother, no need to be argumentative. Just embrace logic for once. 1) You said your dad owns a 1976 Mercedes and you witnessed him driving it as an adult. 2) consequently, you and your dad are the living proof that the link you quoted was bad journalism and misrepresentation of facts. 3) since you have witnessed a nearly 40 years old Mercedes running smoothly in your house and all over Nigeria, you're supposed to be writing a disclaimer on the website, not quoting it as a source. You're bias and can't hold your emotions in check. When will you reconcile your grievance with Mr. Logic? 1 Like 1 Share |

LOL. This guy like trouble sha. Nu/rey didn't create the list, y'all Mercedes Benz loyalist should give him a break. If we are talking about Nigeria, then baby benz (190E), 230E, and that Shagari Benz (I think W126) should make an unbiased list. Most households had these cars, and still have them now. 3 Likes |

Timelezz: No doubt Mercedes has innovated so much that is now standard In the car industry. Take for example the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) was first used by Mercedes in 1995 and it now required by law in all cars. First to use multilink suspension 1982 etc. |

Danfuster:Mercedes actually owns too many automobile patents it just wouldn't enforce. Now the S class has gone into ultra VIP design for luxury jets with Lufthansa airline to recreate the feeling of the S class luxury on flight.
