1982 SAAB 900. No turbo, no sunroof. No frills. Still a fun car to drive. Drove it till the motor gave out just shy of 1,500,000 miles on the ODO

    Holy crap! My wife's Solara has 368,000 miles on it and I thought that was a lot.

    I had a total of 6 SAABs. I was a delivery driver that did long distance deliveries, mostly donated organs. None of them died before 1.2 million miles. The closest I ever got to the 2 million mile club was my 1986 SAAB 900 SPG that I got to a whopping 1,854,35*,*** miles. I don't remember the small digits. There are still SAABs out there that are joining that club, and they haven't made one since 2011

    That's awesome. I can't think of any car built in the last 20 years that you could expect anywhere near that kind of longevity. Even 'premium' German brands. I had a BMW that started falling to bits after 100k and my SO had an Audi from brand new that was riddled with problems for the 3 years she had to endure it.
