Default I've finally made the 400,000 club.

Well I finally made it to 400,000 kays. It happened on the way back home from our holiday. we were somewhere in between Portland and Hamilton in S/W Victoria. I wonder if I can get it to 500,000?

That's pretty high for a EL. Is it a ex taxi or something?

I'm about to purchase a 1993 ED for a family member with around 133,000 Kms. What sort of work would you expect to be done on the car up to 200,000? The car l'm looking at seems to be serviced frequently with a few country kms.

I had a 96 EF ex-taxi that was 4 years old and had 570000 on it when i got it. Had it for 4 years no problems at all and i flogged it and when i sold it when i moved to bris it had 670000 on the clock still going strong. And my brother had an EB wit hwell over 700000 on the clock and that got flogged he sold it about 3 or 4 years ago and he still see's it driving around in Cairns from time to time so should be good for over 800000 by now.

Jumped in an EF Txai one night and had a glance at the instrument panal and the odometre read a little over 500k. This was two years ago but I still remember it.
