Wow, I guess that one wins the mileage contest!

That one proves my point! Milage tells NOTHING about a car!
The owners guys, it's all about the owners! I've seen low milage cars looking like they're ready for the junkyard and high milage cars in really good shape.
A well maintained 300k milage car is going to hold up 10x better than an abused 30k mile car.
Too bad about the clearcoat on the roof though, otherwise I'd call that flawless

Also looking at the exhaust tip, is it maybe a new exhaust on it?

Company truck is a 2002 Dodge Ram Cummings Diesel and we just got back from Colorado with it - turned over 401,000 miles.
There's no way that's the correct mileage..has to be a typo, that car is too clean for over 300,000 miles..if those were all city miles it would be beat to sh*t all over, and if highway miles there probably wouldn't be any paint left from all the rock chips on the front bumper..just driving it that much in the socal sun it would show more paint fading than this..looks more like 130k miles..or at most 230k but even that is a stretch.

I like the way they never show the drivers seat. Defiantly only showing what looks good and from the best angle. But it is nice for that many mile if is correct

I smell a typo.

Well, I have to admit, my Mark VIII came from the original owner who sold it to a renter that didn't have it a year before I bought it and it was ragged out big time (I've fixed ALL KINDS of stuff); the mileage on my Mark is 208,000.
I've replaced:
Misc engine parts to get it running great.
Door handle
Misc clips on door panels
Window & door lock switches
Entire console wood-grain panels
Suspension
Tires
Battery
and other stuff I can't think of
Still needs:
Front seats
Headliner
Keyless entry doesn't work
Paint job (not too bad, but few spots where clear coat is peeling)
probably other stuff I'm not remembering quickly.....
Oh, and mine has original stock exhaust tips that look nothing like that (my car is an LSC - I don't know if that matters). I don't have a pic, but mine are straight and oval chrome tips.
