My XR6 has done 278,000. The previous owner used it to drive from Mildura to Melbourne, so most of the km's were highway driving.

I think Herrods "Vision 300" wins that one, meant to have only about 900kms or so.

A local Ford dealer here in South Oz recently advertised several interesting vehicles to celebrate their new showroom/service dept. One was an AUIII XR8 with 2,600kms on the clock! (would have been in the Managers stable) for $26000 (wish I had the moolah)
