Bought my 88' in 01, broken odo. but comparing how many miles I've put on other vehicles, I'd say 100K miles is a low estimate. It's now sitting in my driveway waiting for a LS swap since it spun a main bearing.

Bought my 04 grand prix GTP in sep. 08. Totaled sep. 10, put 26K miles on it.

Bought my 03 Yukon Denali in nov. 10, to date I've put 5K miles on it.

Got a FREE 85 nissan 720 RCSB 2wd in 05. Put 1 miles on it so far getting it running when I got it (it had sat for 8 years before it was given to me). Last weekend I finally winched it onto a car hauler and towed it home with the yukon. After 20 minutes changing the oil, swaping the battery in from the 88, and 2 gallons of fresh gas (on top of 5 gallons of shit from 05) it took its first trip around the block. Nice thing is it's only got 80K miles, so it should be a good summer DD for quite a few years, with only about $250 into it including gas for the yukon to tow it here, new belt, plugs, 2 oil changes, and various fluids/cleaners.
