EVOthis Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Who out there has the most miles on there Subaru origional engine/trans or not? Just wonderin....anything insane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 i think there's another thread like this already. it would be a neat discussion if we could avoid the "i heard of this guy with 2.4 million miles on his and my buddy works at the shop and said it's never had a tune up", or the "a friend has one with 600,000 and it's the 4th owner but the engine must be original because the palm reader said it was"...then others discuss the liklehood of a previous owner replacing something, or what the mystical source of the 2.4 million mile wagon was....okay i'm exaggerating.....

EVOthis Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 just thought i would ask...i see alot of guys on here have like 180 or 200k on theres so u know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 my old GL wagon has 225K+ on her - as far as i know nothing major has been replaced - just typical tuneup type stuff....hard to say for certain tho since i am at least the third or fourth owner. She still runs great, but has been retired due to salt cancer eating away her undersides. The other half has a 90 Legacy L with over 201K and still going strong - is his daily driver. Technically speaking he is 3rd owner, but 2nd never really drove it - was saved from the crusher.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 We HAVE done this thread before, but... 275,000 on my 93 legacy wagon when the tranny lost reverse. Still runs like a top, and the engine is going to be swapped into another subie. Original 4EAT and EJ22 (with two t-belt changes) 215,000 on our 95 legacy EJ22 5MT ...and 202,000 (ish) on Bucky the 92 Loyale wagon EA82 5MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2X2KOB Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 201,000 miles on my 2000 OBW. Not a record by any means but it's been very well behaved so far. I'm going to keep this as long as I can, it still looks good and runs fine. I guess I do about 40,000 miles a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 225,000 on my 95 LSi wagon. I'm the second owner. Bought it with 156,000. I've replaced spark plugs, regular oil changes, and CV shafts. Auto trans. The car still runs smoothand strong...we'll see how much more she goes. I've seen Volvo cars w/ one or two metal 100,000 mile badges on them. I think it would be cool if Subaru made a little badge you could stick on your car every 100,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 246k on my all original SVX before the trans crapped out. That may not be a Subie record, but I'd bet it's an SVX trans record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to have it serviced and the unibody buckled on the lift. That's all folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowmastered87GL Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 i have seen an 86 recently on craigslist with like 425K or something?

Spiffy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I didn't know a subaru was supposed to have less than 200k on it until I bought a newer model...

Suborsche Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 bought my 83 GL Wagon for $200 with 212k...about a year and a half later it has 218k. I'd say almost all those miles were put on it going to and from snoqualmie...high altitude miles. I should say "semi" high altitude miles.

thatswhatshesaid Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just sold an '82 GL with 260k miles. Shifter is getting a bit sloppy, but everything else = A-OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 i second that 739k on what??? i had 456 on a 77 yota and 301 on a 87 gl I changed the oil on a 94 Previa with 405k on the odo, had a new engine put in at 400k, not because it needed it, but because the labor to remove the old engine, reseal it, and put it back in was about the same as a new engine, and we have a regular customer who has an 85 4Runner with 515k on it, engine just had it's second rebuild...
