My Corolla (I'm the second owner) has 252,XXX miles on it... at 246k the speedo stopped working. Roughly 6k miles later, the transmission's input shaft spun...so I replaced the tranny ($175 shipped! woot!) and put the speedo cable back in. Odometer/speedo works fine now. The car has seen better days and stuff on it doesnt work, but everything important still works mechanically. The engine is definetly gummed up and full of shit, but otherwise its the original one and has no problems at all, runs excellent. Also, the original owner never remembers having the clutch changed before I put a new one in, needless to say.

Other than that, my silver 89 Supra had just rolled over 76k when I sold it, and my Supra has 101k roughly on the odometer, but the speedo/odo dont work after the 5 speed swap the previous owner did. I doubt it has more than 173k or so on it...I've only put 6000 or so miles on it myself so far.
