Default Most Miles you've put on a Car/Vehicle?

Tonya and I bought a Honda Accord in the Fall of 89. It was a 90 model 2 door Honda Accord LX 5speed. Bought it off the truck, it still had the protective plastic on the hood, panels and trunk. She drove it, then I drove it, then we used it as a back up. It had just a little over 329,000 on it in 2003, and I was at a shop I used to get the oil changed and I was pretty good friends with the owner. The young guy that was changing the oil commented on the high miles, and I told him it had been a great automobile, but I was really about tired of driving it. He told me he would like to talk to me about buying it, that he needed a car. He had two jobs and had to get a ride to both, he was newly married and his wife was expecting. I told him I would talk to him when ever he was ready. He asked what would I take for it, and my reply was I really don't know what it's worth, how about $1000.00? He said he would like to show it to his wife and I told him where I lived.

He and his wife drove around the subdivision I lived in, after I tried to teach him how to drive a stick. And they loved it. I sold them that Honda for $500.00 and wish I would have given it to them. I seen it two weeks ago, and it still runs and has almost 400,000 on it.

I drove it 329,000 and he is still driving it. How many miles you ever put on a ride?
