This '64 Mercury has over 557K on the original motor. The 91+ yr old female owner took a 3200 mile trip in it 2 years ago. By herself.

Funny story how she always bought parts with lifetime guarantee knowing she was going to keep the car a long time. She has gotten a lot of replacement parts on those deals.

Volvo 240. Can't go wrong. Mileage in excess of 500k is commonplace. They will literally run forever.

Best cars: Every BMW I've ever owned since 1976.... and there's a long string of 'em.

WORST EVER -- a 1984 Volvo Turbo...

Second worse -- 3 Mercedes Benzs in a row... Electrical, electrical and more electrical...
