I was just thinking earlier about how high the km's are on my car, for an EL, and just wondered if it's one of the highest readings here ? I'm sure there are others with higher readings, i've heard of a NF? fairlane here who has around 500,000km. Please also note what history your car has, to the best of your knowledge, eg taxi, courier, company car etc. Also note how many owners the car has had in its time, engine/transmission reconditionings/replacements. Not interested in performance bolt on's or internals for this thread. So here we go:
CAR: 1996 EL Fairmont Ghia V8 ODOMETER: 349,000km HISTORY / OWNERS: 1-company car, 2-weekender, 3-sat in garage, 4-then me SERVICE: 1 x new transmission & some minor engine work still going pretty strong!

390,000+ (had it since about 300k) on my EA GL..... 3x owners, 2x headgaskets, has hardly needed anything at all... even with only 3 oil changes in 90k.. it just doesnt die
260,000 (had it since about 230k) on my EA Ghia.. Its had 3 owners, before I got it it has had at least 1 headgasket and 1 trans replacement. Since i've had it its had an AU engine fitted at 255,000 (Engine done about 90k) Get's looked after a lot more than the GL yet has needed a lot more little things repaired. |

CAR: 1990 EAII Fairmont Ghia (originally taken delivery on January 29th 1990)
ODOMETER: 230,000km HISTORY / OWNERS: Originally owned by a refrigeration company at Traralgon in Gippsland. After that it was privately owned by a bloke at the nearby town of Sale. Bought by my parents in May 2002 (it had 148,000kms at the time), I bought it off them January 2004. SERVICE: It had the handbrake cable replaced under warranty. It did it's first and only headgasket at 224,098kms. Suspension bushes and steering rack were replaced shortly after. The transmission had it's first service at around 200,000kms (which could explain why it's seen better days) but the car has been serviced every 10,000kms.

 : Its got the service history, but Ive only skimmed through it, ad the HG done just before 200,000; so it should last a while. Only problem with company cars is that 90% of the time people treat them like crap.
