I drive a '65 VW Baja Bug. But I've rebuilt the front end and put a new motor in it recently. The odometer says a little over 20,000 and she was in storage for a dozen years but she's almost 40 years old so 220,000 might be a good guess. She doesn't look thrashed enough for 320,000 (the worst of her off-road injuries is a dent in the floor pan).
'87 Dodge Ram Charger....177K and some change and still running strong.
Over the last two years it has sat for two seperate increments of 6-8 months with no detriment in performance.
Recently sold my 1987 BMW 535is with around 335,000 ( cluster shorted out at 295,000 and I relpaced with one that read 260,000 which read 291,000 when I sold the car) I decided I needed a good low milage car and bought a 1988 190e Benz with 170,000 on the clock.

1993 Chevy Suburban with 107,000 miles bought new fresh off the car carrier
and a 1996 Chevy k1500 Silverado pick up bought with 6,000 mi. in 1996 with
a 110,000mi now.
Both have given good service with regular maintance & repairs. Don't think
I'll ever need another vehicle as long as these don't have a tree fall on them
or some other thing happen to them.
92 ford ranger it has 130,000 on it. I bought it new and probably has close to 90,000 from towing my bass boats. no major repairs just brake pads drums, shoes, u joints I have changed the oil every 3000 miles or very close to it. minor surface rust on one rear wheel well. oh yeah one or two dings in the tailgate from depth perception glitches hooking the boat up
315,000 miles a quarter mile at a time. Capable of an honest 1.6 miles per gallon while racing. Capable of single handedly ending the energy crisis when permanently retired.
