I just picked it up used.  The two previous owners put a lot of highway miles on it, but it's still like brand new.

 

Highway are the best. My E350 has a ton of miles - all highway. I mean cross country: Nevada to Michigan.  Michigan to Florida.  Florida to Canada. . .and on and on.

My '08 only has 54k on it. I'm happy to see those high mileage posts...I plan to keep mine for a long time. I typically keep a car until it has over 100k on it, and currently own a pickup with 185k. 

 

I'm happy to see the high mileage posts too.  My E350 has about 125,000K.  I did have an F150 that had close to 200,000 ( a ton of highway miles though).

I think the newer vehicles with fuel injection can expect to see a lot of miles. The key is to maintain them and to change oil frequently. I just sold an 03 Ford ZX2 that had 185,000 miles on it and I would not have hesitated to drive it coast to coast. My 07 MKZ has 64,000 on it and still feels like new.

My 2017 3.0t AWD Reserve w/driver’s package, Pano roof has 125,000 miles. I drive LYFT LUX from 6 pm-6 am every Friday and Saturday night and also use as my personal daily vehicle. So I put over 3,000 miles on it most months, and basically torture it. Have done 2 cv axles, plugs/coil packs, all hubs/bearings, ceramic performance rotors, Akebono pads, dog bone motor mount. And having hit a deer also replaced the grill and shutter assembly (didn’t wish to turn into my insurance). Also replace fluids religiously including 4,000 mile AMSOIL 5-30 wt oil changes. Sure it costs a bit to keep it A-1 but it runs better than when I bought it with 10k miles as a re-certified branded title vehicle for $22,950…..In California as in most states, it’s still considered a salvaged vehicle. I don’t care, I’ve made over $100k with it. And most folks, unless fore-armed with what I just mentioned, would never guess it’s history.

Thanks for reading!

2013 MKZ AWD, it now has 276,000 on it and runs, drives like it has 50,000. No knocks, pings, leaks, and everything works on it. Doesn't look bad either, I would drive it across the country and not think twice about it. I did recently have to change the water pump, that's a bitch job to do. But it got me inside the motor to give a through inspection and a chance to clean the VVT solenoids and check the timing  chain and tensioner, You would never had known the mileage looking at the internals.
