14 years on my focus. Going to try for 300,000.
My other Focus has like 230 on it. That one's my toy though. I'll probably end up blowing it up. My daily has around 120 on it.
I'm at 219,900 today. That was the first new car I ever purchased, got my money out of it. I'd buy another one just like it if I could get it.
Also, I paid $2700 for my daily, put an additional $2000 in it for some negligible neglected maintenance (The damn motor mounts are cunts, and after 13 years you have to figure the shocks are shot). For like $5000 total if you include the initial cost of the vehicle plus tires and the aforementioned maintenance, I have basically a brand new 07 Focus, and I love it.
Oh, and the previous owner tinted the windows within legal spec and installed an aftermarket stereo.
Ah, I picked mine up used parked out front of a farm house. Never bought a new vehicle in my life, and the only vehicles I've bought which never burned me have been my Focuses.
