500,000 miles!

I reached 500,000 miles in my 2003 JSW today! for some reason, can't post a picture of the odometer, but I did it!

That is pretty sweet! Congrats!

Awesome! What are the details? What do you do to rack up the miles? What parts have been changed in the drivetrain, the undercarriage, the interior?

Well done! I'm curious too about the things Mr. Whitedog is asking about above me.

Good job! My '02 is "only" at 350K.

i'm pretty fortunate, i guess. TB every 100K, synthetic oil and filters every 10K, air filters, fuel filters etc... fan relay, blower motor, transmission mount...

Only major thing done has been clutch at 300K (needs a new transmission now, though), and I had a water pump fail a little while back.

It has its idiosyncrasies, and could use some interior and exterior work... glove box broken, annoying electrical issues, seat torn, bumps & scrapes on the outside... but she's a work horse and I've learned to deal with some of the annoyances.

She was a southern car - spent most of her life in Tennessee, so there's not really any rust/frame issues.

I will say that Firestone is kicking themselves for selling me a lifetime alignment I'll bet they've aligned my car at least a dozen times. My mechanic seems to think there's no reason why it won't go to at least 600K - as far as the engine is concerned.

Other than that, this has been the best car ever! Hoping to get it to 600K and beyond!

Awesome. My '00 Golf is at 413,xxx and I hope to wind the odo up as far as I can.

Congratulations, I hope to join the club in the club soon.

Congrats! I sailed past that mark about 23k miles ago on my '00 Golf.

Congratulations

Wow, and I thought I was doing good on my '02 wagon at 303K! Nice job!

Wow. My car is only at 162,000 miles. I'm the original owner.

At this rate it's going to last 100 years.

Only 329K on my Jetta - hope I get as many miles out it as as my 1992 Geo Metro. It has 519K on the original bottom end engine & transmission and I'd still be using it if I didn't buy the Jetta from a retiring co-worker. Head on the Metro was still good but I had a bad head gasket and figured I should just put a rebuilt on if I'm going to take it off.

I'm catching up.

356,000 and going just fine.

Don't we have a "500K Club" thread?
I have about 20K to go before hitting the half mil mark on my '99.

Congratulations! Welcome to the 500K club!

My '05 is only at 80k hopefully she is able to make it that far!

Turned 500k last week in my 2002 Jetta. Manual trans has about 400k, valeo clutch has 335k miles, changed the alternator at 492k, changed ac compressor at 420k, original turbo, PP502 nozzles and injectors about 400k on them. 2nd set of lower control arms. run shell rotella t 5w40 change every 10k. still drive it every day, transmission is getting hard to downshift probably fork pins or synchronizers. checked oil on dipstick just before last oil change and it was still on the full mark.
