Had a Dodge Caravan, sold at 260,000, keept seeing it on the road for several years after I sold it. Transmission at 200,000. My last pickup was a 2000 Silverado, sold at almost 270,000, no doubts it would go 300,000+ without anything major. Still on original engine, transmission rebuilt at 180,000. Present pickup is a 2010 Silverado 4X4 with 170,000 on the clock, truck is still like new, everything works and interior is as good as it was when it came off the line.With today's oils and lubricants all one needs to do is keep it serviced. I usually go 5 to 6k between oil changes even though Chevy says 10k. At every 100,000 get all the fluids changed, this it the one item most do not do then wonder why they can't get more than 150,000 before they start having major problems. I don't consider things like alternator, starter, water pump as major problems, almost anyone can afford to pay someone to replace a water pump.</blockquote>
