Mileage Record.......maybe?

I have just seen a 1995 Auto Micra SLX on Ebay at a starting bid of $1200. The vehicle is located in Moss Vale NSW. the odometer reading is 326000kms! Just curious, are there many Micra owners out there with a higher mileage than this? My 1996 SLX manual is just pushing 155000kms, Luckily no major mechanical work required so far though there is a slight timing chain noise but that hasn't changed since the 100000km mark. I don't know if the Ebay Micra is on it's original motor but i have never come across an NCVT model with this high mileage, even with a reconditioned transmission (which costs a fortune!) Many moons ago I owned a very well cared for NCVT Micra which was showing definate signs of transmission failure at the 60000km mark,which I was told was not uncommon, at which point I promply sold it to a dealer.

It just goes to show how strong the little buggers are!

I'm getting close to the 300,000 k mark. Will make an announcment when I hit the magic number.

Unreal!! And original timing chain as well and Mychael I know you drive your Micra hard but that is okay as you know the diff between hard and flogging a car.
Just goes to show how tough the Micra is.

I'm at 275,000....

Mines still all standard and running like a dream. Except for a bettery problem *shakes fist*, its super. Sitting on around 208,000 i think.

as shown in the photos , this is not a silk purse or a sows ear but is really reliable and economical to run .
Has new WOF.
Will put 6 months rego when sold .
The heater / cooler blower does not work , but I have seen ones on trade me for $50.
last owner had this car for 6 years and the high milage is due to it being used on a rural delivery run doing 240 kms daily ( well maintained ) Does not use oil or smoke at all . Very peppy and neat car to drive.
I have had it as a second car for approx just over a year , and even though the 5th gear sometimes quietly slips out of gear but can be just as quietly put back in gear . It has happened to me about 5 times in the time I have had it and it is no big deal .
I am in two minds to let it go , but have to be realistic keeping in mind my circumstances .
Priced accordingly keeping in mind the condition .
I reserve the rite to withdraw auction as I have it advertised elsewhere..
Would be great little car for student etc.
Could be interested in Swap for what have you

mines just clicked over 310, i'd say original timing chain too cause of the noise its making lol

lol mines at 297k, they are strong and reliable, now that i think about it i should have expected my throttle body to go sooner or later haha.

I am up to 342,000 now.
