The Car Mileage Thread

[thu]

I have 298,000 miles on my 1993 DeVille. Still going strong! I'm about to get a Seville/STS, though, to replace it. It's had Mobil 1 pretty much its entire life and rigorous maintenance. Body and Paint are in perfect shape. The interior looks new except for signs of wear in the driver's seat. Original engine, tranny. I replaced the gas tank to get rid of stumble/surge/stall.

My prior Caddy, a 1985, had 232k before it bit the dust (blew a head gasket).

Not really the lowest mileage, but here goes ---

My '91 Seville has 225,000 miles on it and going strong!! A little ragged on the nice black paint job but runs like a top. Cangratulations to Cadillac!

I have a 96 Deville Concours with 120K on it. I have replaced the alternator and water pump, and as far as I can tell, every other part on the car aside from the battery (I put in a sound system) is stock. This is unfortunate for me, being the second owner. The a/c just stopped working about a month ago too. It's time for a tune up though, so how much will that cost?

my 1986 cadillac deville V8 4.9L has 72,000 original miles

My 92 deville has 135,000 but I just replaced engine and tranny because of major transmission failure. The salvage yard motor and tranny that I now have in the car have 75,000 miles on them. not a bad replacement for 500 bucks.....alot cheaper then 1500 for a new tranny. Runs like a top and gets 21 miles per gallon highway and 18 around town. I love this car.

why??

OK, maybe I didn't knock on the fake wood hard enough. Cruella started lurching and stumbling driving home from my best friend's wedding (no, Julia Roberts wasn't there; too bad), a 500-mile round trip. Went back to my mechanic Saturday and after a few hours of diagnostics—which they did not charge me for—it looks like my fuel injectors are toast.

Thanks to this forum, Blaze specifically, I found out about the Bosch replacement fuel injectors from fiveomotorsport and ordered a set today. Now I just have to wait for my friend to get back from his honeymoon so he can help me put them in.

And I STILL like the car. She's at 203,000 and change.

[mrnextel]

I think I did just over $36,000 out the door. My buddy works at the dealership and he said I got it at wholesale price.
