I'll give ya Tree Fitty for it
i am driving a 2001 gran prix every day and we tow the boat with a 1999 Explorer. We just keep them well maintained and fix anthiny thing that needs taken care of right away
We have a 2006 for five hundred that is paid off, and we plan on it being my daughters first car she's 3 and a half, and my 2010 f150 is going to be my son's first truck and he is 6 and a half month's old. I know this is a long way off, but if we take care of them and maintain them they will easily make it that long, especially since we only put about 10,000 miles a year on them.

Have 92K on my 08 2500HD (paid off in 08). I usually hold onto a vehicle for about 5-6 years or until mileage gets to around 150-190K and then trade. I calculate how much the payment is every month and put that aside for when it comes time to trade in. I just love messing with the salespersons mind when they ask "What are you looking at for a monthly payment?" I have found out that the older I get, the more I hate making payments.
08 Equinox (wife's SUV) 90,000
04 3/4 T. Silverado, 108,000
93 Jeep Wrangler 268,000
02 Lexus SC430 90,000
My daughter is 14 and will get the Equinox (if it lasts). The truck is paid for and no plans on getting rid of. The Wrangler is my commuter and the Lexus is the summer fun hardtop, V8 Convertible.

94 Silverado K 1500, as long as maint is cheaper than payments, I 'll drive her. 267,000
I had one F-150 for 290,000 miles.....a gas F-250 for 205,000....a coupla F150's made around the 150,000 mile mark.My current F-250(1st diseal) is at 144ish thousand,don't put miles on em like I used to......My Peterbilt has 1146712 currently,but it's had a fairly recent inframe overhaul.You gotta take care of em.
2002 F150 4X4 254,000 miles,, 10 years old,, daily driver still
Life is made up of years that mean nothing, and moments that mean it all!!!!!!!!
Paid off or not, it's going to be gone before it hits 150,000 miles
Usually at around 130,000 is when I start thinking about it, making preparations for a swap, and keeping an eye out for a deal.
130 to 150K seems to be the breaking point for me, which is about every 6 or 7 years.
Mine is a 2004 crew cab diesel Ford. 125,000 and plan on passing it to Jake in 3 years. Hope to keep the next one 10+ years as well
I tow with a 1996 F250 with 135,000 miles on it. It's a gas hog but it's paid for.

damn you dont drive much do ya
1997 Ford F150 - 260,000 miles - just starting to thin about selling it
"Success is never owned, it is rented, and the rent is due every day."
I have a 2000 Ford Excursion with 190,000 miles, a 1999 Toyota Camry with 260,000 miles, and a Toyota Corolla with 160,000 miles.
Like my early 90's Ford Crown Victoria and Pontic Grand Prix before them, they will be driven until they are no longer worth repairing, and they will be replaced with vehicles that are at least 2 years old.
I never buy new vehicles. I let someone else eat the depreciation, and I drive them until they die.

Mine are already old when i buy them
Sold Toyota Avalon with 300k on it and was over 310k last I heard. Bought '05 Tahoe with 100k; now has 142k on it and plan to get that much more out of it.
169,000 miles - 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport AWD
263,000 miles - 1993 Chev K1500 Silverado
I'm not going out and check the odometer, but that what I remember being on them and not considering anything else yet.
I have a 99 F250 7.3 with 140,000 on it, and I am not planning to trade it any time soon.
