I've got a 2001 (made in Oct 2000) Audi S4 that is my only car, so it's a true daily driver currently having 156k miles and 16 years on the clock



But I'm sure it's not the oldest (or highest mileage) daily driver in the group. Who can beat that?
 
Loving the Audi my friend. I currently drive an 05 yukon xl Sport Red with 187,000, looks and Runs beautifully. Also have a 99 silverado with 147,732 on the odo. Both great trucks with everlasting V8s, and clearcoats :dblthumb2:

My daily driver's 20yrs. old.

That is some serious driving in 8 years. Must have a long commute or do a lot of business traveling. You must be happy with the hybrid. What are you averaging for MPG?

Have you driven a Toyota 3.5 V6? Such a nice engine. Had an 06 Avalon and loved the car. Traded it for a Sienna. I miss the engine more than the car.


We've put about 40k miles on our 2006 Sienna in the last 5 years. Zero mile commute and not enough money or time to go very far:)
 
I'm out of the running since I sold it, but I rocked a '98 A4 Avant as a DD from '10-'14. Bought with 147k, sold with 225k.

Kind of a neat car if you're an Audi guy- 2.8 quattro, 5 speed, sport package. It was basically the fill in S4 until they brought the 2.7 in. Had same size sway bars, same seats with actual leather, sport shocks/struts. Was a great car, sold it to a friend who's been totally digging it.

Now I'm running my A6, bought with 102k, At 165 now. I'm pretty consistently doing 25k a year.

You wouldn't think it, but with a set of Eibach springs, Rear sway, and a set of Pilot Super Sports, it's way more fun than a 4000lb car should be.
 
I drive the 2000 Frontier in my avatar every day. It has 205,000+ miles on it, and runs great!
 
I switch off between my 2008 Toyota Yaris with about 145k, and my 1996 Jeep Cherokee with about 235k.

I dig the Cherokee, but it gets half the MPG of the Yaris, so I drive the Yaris more.

This is my wife's DD. She bought it Feb of 2011 w/28K on the clock and right now it has 166K on the clock. It's been a great car for us and it still drives great! We've put about $1500 into it minus tires and brakes. Speaking of that, it's on its 3rd set of Conti's and IIRC 2 brake jobs.

The F150 in my avatar pic is a 2000, so it's "old" but only has about 87k miles, so it's not even broke in yet. Bought it in 2002 with around 34k miles iirc.
 
Car in my avitar is my only car and a daily driver.

2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT original colour Dk. Bronzemist Metallic (can still get to pop with the right products).

Currently 295,000 kilometers (178,000 miles).

After market all leather custom interior and absolutely no rust.

The outside is factory original except for some small red accents and the stripes.

Runs better than new and I will never sell it.

I have used it to try numerous products (well over 50) from AG and I will continue to do so.

Toyota makes a good product. I was in sales with my former company and had the car since mile 1 or so. Did a ton of driving and of course maintenance done as scheduled. For a period of time I seemed to get oil changes every 6 weeks. I retired and bought the car. I have had no issues with it and it's the original hybrid battery. MPG on the hwy is close to 40.

I've not driven any other Toyota products. Love the Avalon (less expensive Lexus).

Ha! So far, got you all. My DD is my Bumblebee(aptly now named for several electrical issues a couple of years ago), which at 23 is old enough to drink per se - see avatar and sig. 1994 300ZX 2+2 stick built 2/94, purchased 4/94. Stock with the exception of K&N air intake. Still drives like a dream, still turns heads. Parts just arrived last night for the gearshift linkage mechanism... little bit of work then after Easter, much love will be given to this vehicle!
 
It's great seeing other people who love their older cars as much I do mine. And what I really love is not having a monthly car payment for over 10 years.
