200,000 miles club

[peeenl]

I'm at 218,000 miles on my MP3 and was just curious how many other people are above 200k.

 

[NYCZMP3]

78k...still a younging.

 

[tweety2300]

Mine made it to 185 before getting sick and coughing up a rod. Is that close enough?

 

[peeenl]

Close enough for government work, hand grenades, and horseshoes.

 

[RichardC87]

I'm at about 223,330 in my 2002 P5. Still drives amazing with the exception of a bit of a grind going into 3rd at higher rpms

 

[Sean O'Gorman]

Sold mine at 189k. It was far too rusty to keep working on. Best car I ever owned.

I thought about selling to get an st185 all trac. I always loved those. But then I thought about how well the MP3 has done for me even though I bought it with high mileage. I feel like it deserves good treatment in return for its service. Even with all the miles, I trust it as much as any car I've got. If I'm willing to work on it; I might get to hand it down.

Then maybe if I get a million miles, mazda will give me something cool...you never know!

I possibly could have the highest mileage MP3.. My Odometer says 242,528 miles, but I had to change gauge clusters early on at about 50,000 miles due to a indiglo gauge install gone wrong (remember those days?). So add those two together, and my car is somewhere around 300,000 on the chasis alone!

I'm at a shade north of 196k and just blew my head gasket. Now I have to decide if I fix her stock, or take the opportunity to tune her up a little...decisions decisions.

 

[DOMO]

I'm at 142,000 right now. I have the highest mileage mp3 where I'm from

 

[stivine6]

98,611 miles so far. Probably one of the lowest in toronto

 

[RichardC87]

just hit 230,000 and still running like a champ. researching a ton to do a rebuild on the motor and tranny early next year

 

[Doc Doiron]

I've got a 2010 3 hatchback purchased in 2009 that has 229K now.

 

[jorda]

Im right around 226,000 in my Mp3. It had 116,00 when i got it in 2011.

 

[Penny2001]

197,348 miles so far, just did a tune-up coil packs, wires, ngr iridium plugs, fuel pump, fuel pump relay switch, pcv and egr valves, front and back magnaflow catalytic converters. Really got my hands dirty in this one.
