Most newer cars will , I had a 84 Ford Ranger ..years ago , I got 400,000+ miles out of it , My aunt has a 97 explorer with 287,000 miles on it ....it is all about the ability to keep regular maintenance on them , such as oil changes etc. do not wait for it to break before you fix it , do it as soon as you think there is a problem
most cars to get that kind of mileage is 97 and up ..
Which is why I buy used cars from individuals and not dealers
I can see the previous owner , and judge the type of person they are , and the possible driving habits they would have . Plus they will sell a car with 100,000 miles on it for less than a dealer would , I bought my son a 97 explorer , that was in perfect condition 91,000 miles for 4 grand .. this thing is not even broke in good , it is still like brand new ... and it was well kept.
My neice just informed me her 94 Jeep Cherokee has 276,000 miles on it , it needs a transmission soon , but hey it is still cheaper than buying a new one with 500+ per month payments ....her motor is just as strong today as it was the day it was bought new , very well maintained , like I said it is all in how you take care of them ,
I do have a friend who has a deisel F350 truck it has 650,000 miles on it , and still gets the job done , it is a 97 as well , he travels a good bit from the east coast to the west coast ....he said besides regular maintenance ,oil changes ,brakes etc. he had to put an alternator , and ball joints , and that is all he has had to do , he is the only owner for this truck ...

Whether a vehicle goes over 200,000 miles or not has more to do with its overall care and maintainance than Year Make and Model...
Thsi you will find to be true
for example the Early Tauruses and Sables had weak head gaskets and transmissions (the 4sp automatics specifically) but it isn't uncommon to find them with over 200,000 on the Odometer and occassionally with even the original trans unrebuilt if proper fluid and filter changes were done...
and thermostats and proper cooling system upkeep was performed
this is more important than a list of cars...
advice is take car of car you get properly with the help of a good honest ASE Certified Auto Tech to advise you in its proper preventive maintainance

yes for sure in fact... My PT cruiser I just traded for a 2006 Nissan and it had 185,000 miles and was still going strong..... I changed the oil every 3000 miles and rotated the tires....

I agree with Heathermis, I currently drive a 1992 Toyota Camry with 207,600 miles. It still has its' original transmission and engine.

easily with care and maintainence. my 95 dakota has 136k on it, running strong and getting better mileage than the new ones. my 84 s10 blazer had well over 240k last i heard.
dont ya hate it when that old american junk outlasts some of the new import stuff?

I sold my 1989 Acura Integra with 260,000 miles last year and the guy still drives it daily.

Diesel engines, best bet, followed by better imports like BMW, Mercedes, possibly Audi, Volvo, Saab and Suburu.

I would say most Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans and Mercedes will make it to 200K - depending of course on how you maintain them.
