most of the cars i'm looking at to buy are over 100,000 miles on it, will they last a lot longer? Any 200,000 mark viii's around?

thanks,

I have a 94 Mark VIII w/ 94000 miles, it runs as strong now as it did when it was new !! I never considered " souping it up " til I found this site. Now I want to start experimenting , if ever you need to ask a question about your new ( used ) Mark the people here are very friendly and are anxious to help, its a gr8 site, I'm glad I stumbled upon it !!

Don't worry it will down to a few hundred soon... I've never been one to not put any miles on a car.

156K to 176K = 20K

June until July = 8 months

2.5 K per month I have 4 months left Gee!!!! That will be 30K by June which will put me over the 200K mark Mid April!

I also have My Mark VII that I have put 10K on since late June!

The average Lincoln in general that are Limo Service Fleet Vehicles in New York City get retired after 350k miles. One of the reasons I bought a Lincoln

I have about 250,000 miles on mine. I have about 1000 1/4 mile passes and 1000 1/8 mile passes included in that. They last great.

I've seen 300,000+ on a 93 Mark daily driven from Saco, Maine to Burlington, Massachusetts everyday for 11 years.
