While it may be true that any vehicle can go a million miles, That doesn't come without a GREAT deal of work. This means engine work, ball joints, tie rods, new seals, etc.

At the junkyard, an original owner of a 94 jeep cherokee came in rattling and barely running. The odometer said 277,500 miles, and he said he's took great care of the car with 3000 mile oil changes. It's quite obvious that it was taken care of, because the engine bay was kept clean and so was the interior. I know exactly what the problem was, as the oil pressure read zero and 3 or 4 psi at 3k rpm's. The autospy showed that there was a lack of compression.

My of my family's cars never made it over 200,000 miles. A friend's 1991 chevy pickup required an engine overhaul at 155,000.

I'm not saying that this story is a JOKE - rather, I AM saying that a vehicle with THAT many miles takes a considerable amount of work to keep it going - not just 4 radiators and 5 water pumps. We're talking everything.
