RE: Highest odometer reading
Does sold and not running count? LOL.
My 93 Mits Eclipse had 220+k on it before the timig kit broke twice in 2 months.
I sold it to a local guy who parts out, or fixes up old cars and sells them in an underprivelidged neighborhood.
I called about 7 people from ads in the paper. One guy wanted to give me $50...until he realized I was about
40 miles away. Wouldn't be worth the trip for him he said, since the car was not even running,
I finally called back the first guy I called who happpened to be the one described above.
He asked me what I wanted for it...I said $150...thinking he would say $75...which would have been fine.
He opened the hood, looked around the interior, and then asked me how fast I was going when the timing chain broke.
I told him about 7 mph...I was coming out of a convenience store parking lot...which had a sharp downward dip to the street.
In other words the truth.
He said "crank it over". I did...he listened...closed the hood, said ok...backed up his tow truck, handed me $150 cash, grabbed the title
I just signed over and left.
Good guy...
Blah...I'm rambling...going for a ride.
Anyway...dead car at 220+k is my record.
