I think it may stretch to at least 500K miles without having to open the engine and or tranny. Last year we added another German to our garage this time a diesel, on the new diesel; We're planning to celebrate at least 500K on original equipment. By the way we don't buy based on recommendations from consumer reports or any of the same. Buy based on experience, talk to owners or mechanics who actually work on that specific brand your're eyeing.

Over 300,000 between them? I have a 1998 Japanese made Subaru Forester which just hit 250,000 miles and runs like a top. Best car, too bad she is a daily 80 mile commuter car at the moment, I wish I could take better care to minimize mileage. Huh? Over 300,000 between them?

I think it is THE best place for buying used cars at reasonable.... no.... GREAT prices. Just bought a '01 Mazda Protege 2 weeks ago (loaded) for $3800 and KBB gives me a Private Party Value of $6200. In fact, I've done a video series to show other people how to do it to!

I'll keep CarFax in mind -- sounds like a decent deal. Edmunds is another good data point as well. Thanks for the comments! I’ll keep CarFax in mind — sounds like a decent deal.
