Getting the Wheeling Fever

Yesterday my Sportage turned 200,000 miles. I put 160,000 of those on myself. This is the longest I've ever owned a vehicle. If it breaks tomorrow, I'm getting it fixed. I love this vehicle.

'95 Sportage 4x4 5speed SOHC bone stock, 200,000 miles and counting.
The KIA isn't as powerful as the dually, but it sure is easier to park.

Body Damage is Cool

My Sportage passed 250,000 late last year -- it's a 2000, and it had 3 (yes THREE) miles on it when we got it new off the dealers lot! I think we're pushing 260,000 by now!

Major problems I've had: timing belt, replace vacuum hubs, alternator, struts, cleaning the damn IAC...

In short, not much! GREAT little cars!!!!!!

I remember how excited I was when I passed 200K -- you still have a lot of miles ahead of you! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Holy CRAP!!!

200K and 250K/260K, that's AWESOME!!!

That's about what you get out of a Diesel rig!!!

Mine just passed the 75K mark, and I bought mine new in 1998. You guys are addicted to driving a vehicle that continues to impress.
