I can echo the cab comments - drove taxis for 17 years and can remember XF's around 900,000 to 1 odd million, and tho I am a tru blu Ford lover thru and thru, I must say the most amazing mileage wise cab I ever drove was a VBcommonwhore which had 2.6 million kms on its 202 and which still lit the tyres up pretty easily...

Similar mileages from the ford cabs too, I just wasn't driving a ford cab at the time...

But my favourite cab story was a XF I used to drive, went to Gumeracha in the adelaide hills about 35 km's from the city (ripper fare) - anyway, after dropping my fare in a carpark I reversed out, then put the car in drive... no drive, only reverse...believe it or not, I reversed the cab from there all the way back to the depot which was the other side of town...got pulled over by the cops - hilarious as they were looking at me thru their windscreen, and I was looking back thru my windscreen... anyway, they couldn't book me as they couldn't figure what I was actually doing wrong.

Yes, certainly did! Not mentioning any names *cough*Bunbury Toyota*cough*. Everything started to fail JUST out of the 3 months mandatory warranty

The Grandpa had a fleet of cabs for more years than i can remember. Had 16 all up and he only ever run Falcons because they held up better than Commodores....

In the 50+ cars he must have owned he only ever replaced 3 engines....

Remeber that earlier models did over 1 million k's, the later models (EF and newer) were replaced after around 800,000 k's.....

And how hard do you drive a car when it's not yours....?

Bottom line is that as long as they are serviced on time, they will just about last forever....
