97' 850 T5 Sedan with 737K original miles!

And I thought the 8 hours I spend commuting per week is bad =D

Quick math: 45K miles/365 days (assuming he works 365 days a week) = 123 miles a day, on average.

Actually this is not unheard of, if you live some 50-60 miles from your workplace, it is possible to accumulate that much mileage, assuming that you are faithful to your car and don't dump it at 100K miles.

PS: and assuming your odometer gear does not break before that LOL!

You know what I've always heard... You get one or two that come off the line that will run forever, the rest are average, then you get those one or two that are nothing but lemons before you ever even get them off the car carrier.

Maybe he was just one of the lucky ones, however, if it was ALL highway driving which I am assuming it was it is nowhere near as hard on a car as "Stop N' Go" driving.

Totally awesome! Comes down to roughly 46k per year. That's more than twice as much as my commute of 80 miles a day -

... the owner drives some 45K miles/year for 16 years!

The owner of the shop said he does appox. 800 miles a week. ...

... and at 45 miles per hour, that odo equates to driving 19.704 hours per week - every week - for those 16 years!

Quick math: 45K miles/365 days (assuming he works 365 days a week) = 123 miles a day, on average...

Awesome report thank you.
And gotta love the responses!

I was also thinking...

Either this man ABSOLUTELY loves his job and makes GREAT coin orhe possibly gets PAID for mileage.

Either way, this is dedication and determination to one's job!

The engine in my 94 na has never been cracked open and it's getting close to 280k. Gives me hope!
