Picked up a wagon last weekend, its got 953 XXX on the clock... Not sure if it's had a rebuild, but prob... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well since the odometer, stopped at 268,000 Ks in 2003, I would say about 290,000 now. Things that have been replaced. AFM adjusted. New plugs. New leads. (Nothing wrong with the old ones, just put in better leads) New injectors. New alternator. New hoses. New lifters. Never had a head replacement (Since I've had it). I think in the 3 and a half years, that's pretty good. Considering they guy before me, used to give it a hard time. Goes very strong, for a 20 year old engine. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my mates got a vl with 490,000k's and it's still going strong!!!!!! go the vl's?????????

Even if the cabbie had it from 86 til 91 its 200 000ks a year! Averages over 540ks a day and thats assuming no days off in 5 years! thats one hard working cabbie with one hard working car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mine had done 600,000 before it seized,

Like the steering wheel, pedals, gear shifter, carpet, console, drivers seat and the ignition barrell..Ofcourse they can all be replaced, but its a start Or if your keen, take it do a decent mechanic, or Holden.. Good luck mate.. -Todd

247 000kms, biggest lemon ever!

i have 140k on my vh and 350k on my vl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

400k and trying 2 blow it 4 the new motor lol

I think my first VL SL had 327,000Km.....can't really remember now. My curreent VL Berlina has 225,000KM Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

when i had my calais & my sl both stop reading at 200,000km lol

my exec had 340xxx, and never missed a beat(exept blowing injectors every week) and i tried to kill it for 6 months....finally blew the box and put a new motor & box in her(200xxx),now she's good for another 340xxx odd ...lol.... gotta love em..

this is sort of the opposite to the title but i have 87,000k's on my Series 2 calais its an '88 and it has less k's than most of my mates cars which are 10 years or more younger!

Sorry to resurrect a old thread Ive only 262000 on mine. Old mate down the road from me has a standard 86 berlina auto. He has owned the car for a long time, almost since new... It has 350,000 kays on the clock, original motor.... but heres the catch, the odometre hasnt worked for 11 years. In the past 11 years, he claims his driving habbits havnt changed... 11 years ago it was 1999 and the car was 13 years old and had some 350,000 kays. Going of those numbers, it has aprox 700,000 kays under its RB30 belt Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats a fair effort... i bought mine with 280 xxx and the odometer hadnt worked for about 5 years... i put another cluster in with 250 xxx and im up to about 290 xxx and eninge was still healthy when i last drove it... and als pulled the head off and all seems fine Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i did see a vl years ago ,with the original engine(i think it may have been a ex-taxi)660,000kms.and still running gr8.thats the highest k's ive seen on any car! mine's a baby @ 139,000-86 mod(old man owned it)

Seems that left in unmodded conditon + having an easy life the go forever..... But how boring is that :P

mine copped a thrashing every now and then... its only a na.. and never missed a beat

My 86 vl stopped at 390,000km's ... drove it with a bottom end bearing noise for a good 50,000km's and it still runs fine! strong engine

my old man has 423,000 on his clock
