My 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX is current on around 141k and is spot on! I bought it at 137k. It's had:
1 owner since new
Full Subaru service history (including receipts)
New clutch
New cambelt
New front discs
New front pads
Full fluid change
New dropgear bearing
Initially I wasn't sure as it was higher mileage, but it's honestly in such a great shape and I put that down to it being owned by the same older chap from new. I'd definitely buy a higher mileage car again providing it's history is as good as this one.

Regarding the mega-miles Murcielago, my son emailed its owner and received the following reply:
"Thankfully the Murcielago is almost finished after a 2 year rebuild. After the smash a couple of years ago I wasn’t sure it was even salvageable simply because the damage was so bad, the chassis had warped which in turn had twisted the roof the impact being so severe. However, the 6th Gear technicians and body shop guys have been working on it in their spare time and after Chartwell in Derby put it on a jig to straighten it, it became clear it could be rebuilt. As of now it’s in Lamborghini Manchester being finished off after which it’ll be featured in Evo once more. That said, it won’t be going back on the track!
But you are more than welcome to come along to one of the events, I’m at all of them so just ask for me and we’ll have a cup of tea."

What's the highest performance cars miles?
I remember a few years ago a Murcilargo on Autocar the first owner a jurno had past 200k on it (orange) and no intention of letting it go.
That's some hefty tax paid
Not quite in the same league, but I took my old 996 to 105k. The engine and gearbox were still in great shape, though it did seem to eat brakes, tyres and suspension bushes!I remember a few years ago a Murcilargo on Autocar the first owner a jurno had past 200k on it (orange) and no intention of letting it go.

My E91 Pre-LCI 330d is just coming up to 165K.
It runs very well and is returning up to 46.5 real MPG. I recently had it mapped and it made a very healthy 294 bhp and 487 lb.ft.
Not only is your E91 almost twice as powerful as mine, you get more MPG than me. Something must be up with my 320D. Impressive figures from a 330D.It runs very well and is returning up to 46.5 real MPG. I recently had it mapped and it made a very healthy 294 bhp and 487 lb.ft.
