My '91 Honda Prelude had 123,000 miles on it when I sold it. The owner
called and reported that it had crossed 125,000 miles and still going
strong. Only major work was a transmission overhaul, and the usual
maintenance items required, alternator, tires, etc. My current '97
Toyota Camry has 187,000 miles. No major maintenance issues. My American
cars never got that good of service..

American cars will hold up if you service them regularly.
Vehicles I have owned:
1966 Dodge Dart... sold with 135,000 miles (loved that 170cc slant six!)
1968 Mercury Montego... stolen with 144,000 miles (purchased used)
1969 Chevrolet Nova 302... sold with 196,000 miles (purchased used)
1985 Dodge Charger... sold with 179,000 miles (purchased new)
1994 Plymouth Voyager... 158,000 miles (purchased new, still going)
