Mines on 145,200 at the moment - thats KM though so not that high!

There is a 406 in Western Australia with 500,000km on it - 2.0 XU10 Manual! Not bad going, considering how tough some of the conditions are out that way! High KM 406's here are usually STDT's with 300,000km on em!
1997 406 D8 ST Manual 2.0L!

My GTi-6 was still like new at 160k, still beaten to death every day and refused to let go.
my HDI is getting close to 120k and although the brakes are squeaking, the electrics are fairly random in the way only the French can build into new cars it's still sweet.
