I'm of the opinion that ANY car will go a million miles if you throw enough money at it. Some will do it more easily than others. The most miles I've ever personally seen on a car was 376,000 on a Toyota Camry. Others I've seen past the 300k mark were a bunch of Crown Vics that had been police cars and then taxis, several Benzes including a gasser, a couple Subarus, a Honda Civic, a Porsche 912, and a Chevy Cavalier.

My 86 Toyota pickup had almost 400K on it when I sold it 7 years ago. It's still on the road with the original motor. The one I just bought has 226K, but has a new head, valves etc. so I guess that doesn't count. My wife's Element has 140K, doesn't leak or burn any oil and runs like a swiss watch. She does regular dealer maintenance. I figure it's good for at least another 150K.
